Abstract

Wind energy conversion system has gained importance in recent years as a prime source of distributed generation in which variable speed wind turbine with direct driver, PMSG and power electronic interface is the most commonly used system exhibiting variability in the output power as a result of change in the prime mover(wind speed).When such a configuration is interconnected to the grid it introduces various challenges to the network in terms of power quality issues, voltage fluctuations etc. Our project proposes the enhancement of power quality in the wind energy system using STATCOM. It aims to present in a thorough and coherent way the aspects of power quality in terms of the reduction of total harmonic distortion (THD).The simulation is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink.
