Abstract

Transient stability control plays a significant role in maintaining the stable operation of power systems in case of large disturbances and faults. This paper compares the role of Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Static Var Compensator (SVC) in mitigating the fault and establishing transient stability in a 9 MW integrated wind farm power plant. SVC and STATCOM are FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) devices used for efficient power flow and fault compensation. The comparison is based on different criteria like real and reactive power compensation and stability during transient time. Response times of both the devices are taken into consideration. Simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment for the integrated wind farm phasor model. The simulation results provide an insight into effectiveness and robustness of the STATCOM and SVC on transient stability improvement of the system.
