Solar Photovoltaic Interfaced Quasi Impedance Source Network Based Static Compensator for Voltage and Frequency Control in the Wind Energy System

In this paper, the purpose of improving the power quality of the standalone wind conversion system (WECS) is to utilize a quasi-impedance (qZ) static compensator (STATCOM) integrated solar photovoltaic (SPV) source network. The standalone WECS has utilized the flywheel energy storage system (FESS) and the self-excited induction generator (SEIG). The SPV power generation network integrates with the STATCOM DC-Link to compensate for the voltage and frequency fluctuations over a longer time. The SEIG terminal voltage and STATCOM DC-link voltage are regulated using an enhanced second-order generalized integrator (ESOGI) with a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The coordination logic is proposed in order to handle the various scenarios and make the device energy efficient. The unit is built for optimal usage of the electrical energy generated from renewable sources by utilizing physical energy storage systems such as flywheel and battery. In both batteries and flywheels, excess power from the SPV and wind turbines is collected. To verify the performance of the SPV supported STATCOM, the simulation and experimental studies are performed under specific load conditions. This paper describes an optimal way to produce and utilize green power with better energy efficiency. With various current conditions, the typical level of harmonic distortion of the source current is about 1.4% lower than that specified by IEEE Std. 519-2014 for the tolerable 5% level.
