Power Stabilization with STATCOM on DFIG Based Wind Farm for Renewable Energy

Abstract

The demand of electricity is increasing in the world day by day due to increased needs of human being. On the one hand, fossil based energy sources are decreasing and also on the other hand they are creating the CO2 emission to atmosphere. In this case, the use of renewable power will be very economical, clean and beneficial to provide the required energy of consumers. Recent technologic developments and installations of renewable energy sources contribute the generation of renewable energy. In addition, the use of IT technologies combined with renewable energy systems makes the grid more safe and sustainable by providing monitoring and controlling capabilities of the renewable power system. In this study, an application of renewable energy is presented. Furthermore, a simulation of wind energy connected to grid to show the behavior of its components are performed in MATLAB and observed the impact of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) in the system.
