| Popis: | The static synchronous compensator is one of the FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System) device capable of maintaining the stability of wind turbines during a sudden default. Among these faults, the voltage drops at the connection bus wind turbines. For this fault case, the static synchronous compensator intervenes by injection of the reactive power to compensate the voltage drop. In this article, as application case, we study the wind farm of Bizerte (north of Tunisia). This farm is composed of fixed speed aero-generators using squirrel cage induction generators. Our study begins with modeling the wind system. Next, we describe the technical requirements for connection of a wind energy system to the grid and outfit at the voltage dips (low-voltage ride through) according to STEG (Tunisian Company of Electricity and Gas). We also present the structure of static synchronous compensator. Finally, we present the simulation results of the wind farm under low-voltage ride through with and without static synchronous compensator. |
