Power Quality Improvement of Wind Farms Generation by UPQC

  Sumeet Singh,  Mukul Chankaya

The demand of power is rising steeply with every year so in order to fulfill the demand of the market the non- conventional sources are coming into play and one of the these resources is wind. The power being supplied by wind is not upto the mark due to variation of wind and inverter being implemented in the wind generation system. Thus the need of power quality improvement is very high for wind generation systems. This can be done by using FACTS devices which are very effective in resolving issues related to Power quality. In this paper we will be using UPQC for enhancement of power which is being supplied by the wind turbine to the grid. The UPQC is considered for this job because it solves the purpose of shunt and series compensation simultaneously, hence it has an edge to other FACTS devices. The active power filters in UPQC are controlled by using synchronous reference frame theory (SRF), PI controllers and instantaneous reactive power theory.

Keywords- APF – active power filter, P – active power, Q – reactive power
