ANALYSIS OF IG BASED WIND FARM WITH STATCOM AND SVC IN MATLAB / SIMULINK

When wind farm is connected to a grid system some issues of voltage stability and reactive power posed . The study includes the implementation of FACTS devices as voltage restorer to maintain stable voltage and thereby protection IG-based wind farm interconnected power system from isolating during and after disturbances. This analysis the application of FACTS devices in wind farm using squirrel cage induction generator. FACTS devices are used to enhance the voltage stability of wind farm using squirrel cage induction generator. FACTS devices used in the thesis are STATCOM and SVC . A comparison between these FACTS devices also done which is shown in results .When Wind farm is connected to a grid then problem of voltage dip occur due to variation in loads or other disturbances and this can be maintained to rated value using FACTS devices .A simulation model of 9MW wind farm interconnected to grid is carried out using the MATLAB Sim Power System Toolbox.
