دانلود Voltage control of the grid connected wind plant using energy storage and FACTS devices

Abstract

Developments in wind turbine technology are facilitating the increase of power generation capacity from renewable energy resources. The utilization of the squirrel-cage induction generator for wind power generation has some advantages over that of conventional synchronous generators. In this paper an induction generator model driven by wind turbine and connected to the grid is simulated in SIMULINK / MATLAB. The simulation results confirm that the performance of the grid connected wind plant improves with the use of energy storage device i.e. (capacitor bank) & FACTS device i.e. (Static Var Compensator). However, better results are obtained by use of SVC.
