Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) Solution For Wind Farm Using STATCOM

In this book, Enhancement of power quality by means of LVRT capability of wind farm driven by PMSG is presented. Nowadays the share of power using wind generation is increasing continuously in all over the world; hence penetration of wind power in to grid is also increasing. The grid connection condition of the wind turbine is more important and Cascading effect should be avoided; wind turbine should stay connected to grid during grid disturbances. Connecting wind farm to grid is difficult and challenging task for the system operators as there are many connection requirements as a part of Grid Codes. One of the dynamic requirements mentioned in grid code is Low voltage ride through capability. It also presents control of reactive power to satisfy grid code requirement using STATCOM. Simulation results show the real power, reactive power with STATCOM and without STATCOM.
