Abstract

The exponential rise of the demand for power has forced us to increasingly depend on non-conventional sources of energy. The exponential rise of power demand leads to load fluctuations, which in turn results in voltage distortions. This project focuses on controlling the voltage and current in wind power plants that have Self-Excited Induction Generators based on a variety of load conditions. STATCOM-fed SEIG-based wind power plant feeding an isolated load of both R and RL type will make up the distribution generation system. Voltage fluctuations occur in a wind turbine as a result of speed changes and load disturbances. This makes the SEIG the ideal generator for the wind farm. To reduce voltage fluctuations, the SEIG may supply the system with delta- connected three-phase capacitor banks or STATCOM. The effectiveness of Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) based STATCOM helps in the voltage control and also in mitigation of voltage and current harmonics for various load scenarios.
