Power System Stabilization of a Grid Highly Penetrated from a Variable-Speed Wind Based Farm Through Robust Means of STATCOM and SSSC

There has been significant strides to integrate renewable energy sources into our current power system. In this work, we focus on wind farm integration into a weak grid. To ensure that this proposed idea is suitable, we perform tests to ensure that the power system remains stable under some potential scenarios. To facilitate integration and suitable steady state conditions are maintained, the use of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices are employed. In this work, we focus on the transient stability characteristic for power system stability. Specifically, we present how the use of Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOM) in the first portion of this work, used alongside Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC) to improve voltage stability, also improved transient stability of the wind dominated power system.
