Application of STATCOM for Enhancing Steady and Dynamic Performance of Distribution System with DFIG Wind Power Generation

Abstract

The paper presents the application of Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for enhancing steady and dynamic performance of distribution system with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind power generation. The mathematical models of STATCOM, wind energy conversion system such as wind, wind turbine, drive train, DFIG, and converter are systematically derived. The dynamic behavior of the power system with STATCOM controller is also investigated by using MATLAB/Simulink. It was found in the simulation results that the STATCOM can improve the dynamic behavior of the system
