Abstract

In this paper, the power quality enhancement on grid integrated wind energy system (PQEGWES) using STATCOM is presented. This scheme aimed to improve the power quality of the grid integrated wind energy system using BESS is used for charging the capacitor in STATCOM. The injection of wind power into the grid affects the power quality of the system. Some of the power quality issues are voltage sag and harmonics. In this proposed system, simulation model of 3-phase system without-compensation and with-compensation are modeled and simulated. In this system, a STATCOM is used and it is capable to improve grid voltage and reduce the harmonic components. Keywords: Power quality, STATCOM, wind turbine (WT), wind generator (WG), BESS
