Abstract

Abstract Renewable energy growing is considered one of the main sources of the system harmonics. Thus, in this paper, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is reduced by using flexible AC transmission systems (FACTs). Static Compensator (STATCOM) and Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) are used and compared against basic harmonics filter. Cases studied are as follows: First, the system is studied without any harmonic limitation. Then each type of the chosen two types of (FACTs) is connected to the system. Finally, the harmonics filter is used as a reference to verify the (FACTs) effectiveness. MATLAB/SIMULINK is the tool to examine and simulate the system.
