Abstract

Stabilization of wind farm (WF) is considered one of the major serious issues for developing power systems based on renewable energy sources. A comparison of dynamic performances for FACTS devices like STATCOM and SVC is presented in this paper. Such devices are employed to stabilize WF integrated with multi-machine power system (WFMPS). Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) has been employed for controlling FACTS devices to enhance WFMPS performance under different abnormal conditions. Three-phase to ground short circuit fault has been taken into consideration in different locations of system. MATLAB/Simulink is used to perform the modeling and simulation of WFMPS. The obtained results demonstrate the effect of both SVC- and STATCOM-based FLC on damping the system oscillations and improving the system dynamic performance in the post-fault duration. The comparison confirms superior dynamic performance and fast fault recovery of STATCOM-based FLC through different fault conditions compared with SVC-based FLC.
