Abstract
The integration of wind power into an electric grid has a significant impact on power quality. The performance of the wind turbine concerning power quality is evaluated based on the guidelines and standards outlined by the International Electrotechnical Commission standard, IEC-61400. The effects of the wind turbine on the grid-connected wind energy generation system include active power, reactive power, voltage variations, harmonic distortion, and flicker. This paper investigates the power quality issues arising from the installation of a wind turbine in the grid. The proposed solution involves connecting a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) with a battery energy storage system (BESS) at the point of common coupling (PCC) to mitigate the power quality issues. The effectiveness of the proposed STATCOM control scheme for improving power quality in the grid-connected wind energy generation system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The proposed control scheme effectively reduces reactive power from the load and induction generator. The paper also introduces advancements in grid coordination regulations and improvements in power quality standards according to the IEC-standard on the grid.
