Stability And Power Flow Control For Practical System With Wind Farm Using STATCOM

In this study, a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is employed to regulate power flow in the TNEB-62 bus system (practical system). The test system for the windmills is linked to the 34th bus (Nagercoil). The wind farm model was made using information acquired from the Nagercoil wind farms. The TNEB-62 bus system and wind farm modeling are done in the MATLAB environment. After the windmills in the specific localityare connected to the definite bus, the voltage profile changes. The STATCOM that is connected to the particular bus in the test system gives the required Q under various working conditions. This enhances the voltage profile of the system. Two distinct scenarios—one with and one without the usage of STATCOM in the wind farm—are simulated. The simulation results show that STATCOM-using windmills perform better and have better control overthe flow of power.
