A Statcom- Control Scheme For Power Quality Improvement To Grid Connected Wind Energy Generating System<br>
<br>

<strong>Abstract</strong><br>
 When the wind power is injected into the 
electric grid affects the power quality. The effects 
of the power quality measurements are the active 
power, reactive power, variation of voltage, 
flicker,  harmonics, and electrical behaviour of 
switching operations.  The STATCOM (Static 
Synchronous Compensator) is shunt connected 
VSC (Voltage Source Converter) with self-
commutating device and can be effectively used 
for reactive power compensation.This paper 
presents STATCOM with wind energy system at 
point of common coupling to mitigate power 
quality issues. The STATCOM control scheme for 
grid connected wind energy system is simulated 
using MATLAB/SIMULINK for the purpose of 
power quality improvement in power system. The 
simulation results reveal the performance of 
STATCOM in conjunction with PI controller.
