Abstract

Wind energy is a growing renewable energy because of its several advantages; this has changed dramatically with more wind energy penetrating the conventional power network. The influence of wind generators on the power quality is becoming an important issue; non-uniform power production causes variations in system voltage and frequency, therefore, a wind farm requires high reactive power compensation. The advances in high power semiconductor devices have led to the development of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS). This paper presents the impact of wind energy integration on voltage stability and the goal of FACTS devices such as Static Var Compensator (SVC), which is a power electronic switch, to control the reactive power injection according to the thyristor firing angle, introduced as a state variable in power flow and combined with the nodal voltage magnitudes and angles of the power network for iterative solutions, thereby regulating the bus voltages.
