When integrated to the power system, large wind farms pose stability and control issues. A thorough study is needed to identify the potential problems and to develop measures to mitigate them. Although integration of high levels of wind power into an existing transmission system does not require a major redesign, it necessitates additional control and compensating equipment to enable recovery f...

This paper presents the application of neural networks for controlling the static synchronous compensator (StatCom) device. The primary duty of the StatCom is the regulation of the AC bus bar voltage where the device is connected. Additionally, a secondary task may be added to such device for obtaining a positive interaction with other controllers in order to mitigate low frequency oscillations...

Renewable energy sources are alternative energy source, can bring new challenges when it is connected to the power grid. Generated power from wind energy system is always fluctuating due to the fluctuations in the wind. According to the guidelines specified in IEC61400 standard (International Electro-technical Commission) provides some norms and measurements. The performance of the wind turbine...

− The study presented in this paper aims to develop a new method for active and reactive power balancing in a four-wire stand-alone microgrid (MG), which feds single phase loads. Two unbalance compensation controllers are used, for active and reactive powers. The compensation is based on a dump load (DL) and a static compensator (STATCOM), which ensure the balance of the active and reactive pow...

The stability related issues may occur in a power system due to disturbances generating or loading conditions, especially the presence of distributed generation (DG) based on renewable energy resources (RERs). This paper proposes novel strategy for enhancement wind (WPGS) by using combination three devices, namely, stabilizer (PSS), resistive superconductor fault current limiter (R-SFCL) and st...

This paper presents a robust control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind turbine in a sample power system. DFIG consists of a common induction generator with slip ring and a partial scale power electronic converter. Indirect fieldoriented controller is applied to rotor side converter for active power control and voltage regulation of wind turbine. On grid side PQ control scheme is app...

This paper endeavors to apply a novel intelligent damping controller (NIDC) for the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to reduce the power fluctuations, voltage support and damping in a hybrid power multi-system. In this paper, we discuss the integration of an offshore wind farm (OWF) and a seashore wave power farm (SWPF) via a high-voltage, alternating current (HVAC) electric power trans...

To meet the strict criteria of grid codes for the integrated wind farm with the grid has become a major point of concern for engineers and researchers today. Moreover voltage stability is a key factor for the stable operation of grid connected wind farm during fault ride through and grid disturbances. This paper investigates the implementation and comparison of FACTS devices like STATCOM and SV...

In this paper, a novel parameter design approach of the PI controller used for individual DC voltage balancing control of cascaded H-bridge converter-based STATic synchronous COMpensator(STATCOM) is presented. By means of phase shift sinusoidal pulse width modulation, using two control loops(DC voltage control loop and phase angle shift control loop) to ensure DC voltage balance, the proposed a...

Back-to-back static synchronous compensator (BtBSTATCOM) consists of two back-to-back voltage-source converters (VSC) with a common DC link in a substation. This configuration extends the capabilities of conventional STATCOM that bidirectional active power transfer from one bus to another is possible. In this paper, VSCs are designed in quasi multi-pulse form in which GTOs are triggered only on...
