Investigation of voltage and power control in the wind plant using the facts devices

In this study, load bus voltage, active power and reactive power variations were examined by Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in a wind farm which runs connected to grid. In this system, FACTS devices such as; Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM), Static Var Compensators (SVC), Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Compensators (TCSC), were used. A double feed induction generator (CBAG) was used in the wind plant. These simulation studies were carried out by Matlab/ Simulink. Voltage, active power and reactive power variation in the load bus on active and reactive load models were presented with figures and tables. As a result of the study; it can be concluded that by using FACTS devices in the wind farms, possible instability of conditions in the system can be improved.
