Investigation on Power Quality Improvement of Distribution System with Wind Energy Conversion System

Abstract

Electrical power has an essential role of our society and its utilization is expended newlineworldwide to better living standard. The modern community working is dependent newlinemore on the reachability to electrical power. The degradation of environmental newlinefactors and fossil fuels accelerated the growth of clean and safe renewable energy newlinesources like wind, solar, hydropower, etc. In the world, wind energy is one of the newlinemost promising and fastest improving energy resources. Now-a-days, this energy is newlinerequired ingredient of socio-economic development and economic growth. By newlineintegrating WECS, the impact of the conventional power system on the environment newlinecan be reduced. But the integration of conventional wind power system face newlinetechnical challenges that needed consideration of power quality and stability issues newlineTherefore, Integration of wind Turbine (WTs) in to grid presents many newlinechallenges such as voltage variation, harmonics, frequency control, Power Quality newline(PQ) etc. Currently, the power electronic devices in the operation of WECS take newlinepart a very major role. The common types of WTs applied in the WECS are the newlinevariable speed with full scale power converter. newline
