Transient Stability Enhancement Using FACTS Devices in a Distribution System Involving Distributed Generation Systems

摘要

Distributed generation technologies provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for power generation along with enhanced power quality features compared to the conventional source of generation. The transient stability has gained interest because of the tremendous increase of distribution generation in distribution systems. This paper presents the improvement of transient voltage stability in the distribution system using Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACT) devices like Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM), and Static Var Compensator (SVR) involving distributed generation systems such as Double Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine system. IEEE standard 399-1997-based system with some modifications has been considered for the study in this paper. Simulation has been carried out using MATLAB SIMULINK software.
