Abstract
The integration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) brings along abnormalities that affect the grid, loads, and may degrade the performance of the system. These issues can be alleviated with the integration of RES with the use of a distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). Renewable generation with STATCOM provides quality of power during disturbances created by the AC loads and intermittent power from the RES. The STATCOM distribution of DC link plays a major role in the supply quality during abnormalities. In this work, an attempt has been made to provide supply quality in the distribution system with the integration of a renewable energy farm using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based DC link STATCOM control of distribution. The wind farm is analyzed for a Double Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind turbine system and it is integrated into the distribution system. The system was simulated in MATLAB 2018A.

Wind generation plays a vital role in energy production these days due to its comparatively lower cost and environmentally friendly status as compared to conventional power generation
The performance of a Double Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based windfarm using distribution STATCOM is analyzed under different load dynamics
The distribution grid maintains constant voltage and the necessary active and reactive power of the proposed system in the third case compared to the other scenarios
Summary
Wind generation plays a vital role in energy production these days due to its comparatively lower cost and environmentally friendly status as compared to conventional power generation. The intermittent wind firm energy generation and the dynamic switching of load creates voltage instability and reactive power mismatch. This effect can be reduced with the use of STATCOM. The grid integrated wind generation under dynamic load performance improved with STATCOM control. An attempt has been made to improve the performance of power quality in the distribution system connected with a renewable energy farm using STATCOM. The wind farm is analyzed for a DFIGbased wind turbine system integrated in the distribution system This is studied in three different scenarios, i.e. isolated, gridintegrated, and grid-integrated using STATCOM, and compares their dynamic and transient performances under different load conditions
