Enhancement of Power Quality for Grid Connected Wind Energy System using Smart-STATCOM

Abstract — When the output of a wind mill is connected to an electric grid affects the power quality. Basically the factors which effects the power quality measurements arethe active power, reactive power, variation of voltage, harmonics, and electrical switching operations. The installation of wind turbine with the grid causes power quality problems can determined by studying this paper. For this Static Compensator (STATCOM) with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the point of common coupling to mitigate the power quality problems. The grid connected wind energy generation system for power quality improvement by using STATCOM-control scheme is simulated using SIMULINK in power system block set. This relives the main supply source from the reactive power demand of the load and the induction generator in this proposed paper. The improvement in power quality on the grid has been presented here according to the guidelines specified as in International Electro-technical Commission (IEC-61400 standard) provides some norms and measurements
