Abstract

This research work establishes a relationship between STATCOM and DFIG wind turbines in a transmission network for coordinated operation during grid disturbances. A change in wind gust also produces a variable output nonlinearly, thereby making the system unstable. Assuring bus voltage and proper balance of load angle in all the connected generating stations becomes challenging. Therefore, increasing voltage security at all the lines and further enhancing system stability leads to the placement of STATCOM at the proper location in the transmission line. Appropriate coordinated control of STATCOM and DFIG can lead to adequate power flow in the system. This research includes a multi-objective optimization problem for properly tuning the PI- controller. The voltage at the controlled bus, low-frequency oscillating waveforms, and real power available at the bus under pre-fault and post-fault conditions are identified as objective function parameters. To avoid the overgrowth of error inside the search space due to lack of normalization, this method uses the RMSProp algorithm for proper convergence in the state vector. The coordinated control action has been investigated in the different shunt fault conditions. Again, to enhance the system stability, low voltage ride-through capability has been thoroughly verified using Matlab software.
