Dynamic Response of Wind Power Genarators Using Statcom

Abstract

This paper investigates the steady state performance of STATCOM based on 6 pulse voltage sourced converter by which the stator flux oriented vector control of terminal voltage for SEIG is obtained. To increase the transient stability conditions of the generator a STATCOM is introduced as the active VAR supporter. The paper qualifies and quantifies the improved short term voltage and rotor stability performance obtained when a STATCOM is introduced during different types of failure events in the connected power system.
