Fuzzy FACTS voltage regulator for isolated wind energy conversion systems under different wind speed and loading conditions

Abstract

The present paper aims to design a fuzzy FACTS controller called STATCOM for voltage regulation of Standalone wind energy conversion systems. The Wind energy conversion system consists of wind turbine drives a permanent magnet synchronous generator PMSG feeding static or dynamic loads. The FACTS Statcom controller is adapted and controlled using Fuzzy Logic approach. The Loading types of Wind Energy Conversion are static and dynamic loads. The Dynamic load is pumping systems for irrigation applications. The model of turbine system, PMSG, Transmission system, Loads, Statcom controllers, and Fuzzy logic control system are modelled. The studied system is simulated using Simulink Matlab software package. The Simulated system is subjected to a varieties of disturbances such as load variations and wind speed variations. The digital simulation results prove the effectiveness and powerful of the suggested Fuzzy logic controllers in terms of Fast voltage regulation.
