Improvement of Power Quality of Wind Power Using FACTS Devices

Abstract

In recent years, wind power is highly developed in many countries. Because due to the limitation of fossil fuels and environmental issues. But the main issue in wind power is stability. This is not stable because the wind is not constant at all time. Due to this, the stability problems accurse and quality of power is also reduced. But now days, many types of facts devices are used for power quality improvement. The STATCOM, SVC and fuzzy logic controller are the first generation facts devices which are used for power quality improvement. But second generation facts devices UPFC and IPFC is also used for power quality improvement. The fluctuation which is generated by the wind turbine is compensated by the battery energy storage system (BESS). In this review paper, various types of power quality issues and facts devices are described, which affect the power factor of transmission line. By using Facts device we improve the quality of connected device there are many instruments or equipment based on FACTS device controller.
