Wind energy electricity generator system using SEIG and STATCOM

Increasing demand for electrical power and its need for reduction of distribution costs leads to frequency and voltages standardization. In our proposed work, we modeled a distribution generation system to propel the two self-excited induction generators with the help of renewable wind energy source as power input. Self-excited induction generator (SEIG) works just like an induction machine in the saturation region excluding the fact that it has excitation capacitors connected across its stator terminals. For electricity generation these machines are ideal choice in stand alone variable speed wind energy systems, whereas in the reactive power form the grid is not available. In this work, we have actually studied the overall behavior of the system by changing consumer loads and also applying faults in system in between lines. The effective behavior of transmission system with the use of STATCOM is shown in the experimental results.
