Low Voltage Ride Through Capability Improvement of Fixed Speed Induction Generator based Wind Farm by Fuzzy Controller based STATCOM

Environmental and political impact for a sustainable development have encouraged the growth of electrical generation from renewable energies. A pressing demand for more electric power coupled with depleting natural resources has led to an increased need for energy production from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. The latest technological advancements in wind energy conversion and an increased support from governmental and private institutions have led to increased wind power generation in recent years. Wind power is the fastest growing renewable source of electrical energy Wind power generation of electricity is seen as one of the most practical options and with better relation cost-benefit inside the energetic matrix now a days. Fuzzy based controller is designed to improve the source current in STATCOM. This study provides the results of a study conducted to assess the "Low Voltage Ride through Capability improvement of Fixed-speed induction generator using STATCOM" in a power system.
