Augmenting Stability and Total Harmonic Distortion Reduction in Grid Coupled Wind Power Generation System

Abstract

This paper pivoting on augmenting stability in generated voltage output from grid coupled wind power generation system. Wind power is available freely and in ample quantity on our planet. Due to sustainable nature of wind energy, it is most viable to harvest energy from natural wind in the form of electricity. For running the wind power generation system with higher voltage stability, effective controller is needed. An overview of global energy scenario is summarized with special attention on wind energy. Summary of various control strategies and maximum power point tracking methods are exhibited. Worldwide wind capacity plant installations and net zero emission strategy is presented in this paper. Static synchronous compensator with proportional integral derivative based controller is designed to increase the stability and reduce total harmonic distortion of the voltage output from wind power generation system. Comparative study between voltage waveforms obtained from wind energy with and without proportional integral derivative controller is displayed. The work in this paper proposed the design and implemented MATLAB simulink model of wind power generation system, static synchronous compensator and proportional integral derivative controller. For getting validity of the proposed controller, immense simulation analysis has been done. The obtained results exposed the utility of proposed work.
