Contribution of Integration the TCSC Device and Wind Farms on Power System
Authors: , ,
Abstract: Generation of electricity from wind power has received considerable attention and integration of wind farms based on double fed induction generators (DFIG) may have significant impacts on power system operation. This paper analyzes and compares the integrating of wind farm and Flexible AC Transmission System devices (FACTS) and their impact on IEEE-9 bus and IEEE-30 bus test systems. The west-Algerian network (2012) is also selected for study and different cases have been simulated in MATLAB based Power System Analysis Toolbox. Therefore, we must choose among FACTS devices, those with specific applications such as controlling the power flow, Thyristor-controlled series compensator (TCSC) is the best choice for a proper control of power flow and consequently the reduction of active and reactive power losses. The simulation results show clearly the effect of wind farm and TCSC device on power quality of electric power system.
