Abstract

As demand for electricity increases, power systems are becoming more complicated as well. The classic methods used to prevent voltage instability and collapses in growing and complicated systems have sometimes failed to meet the needs of the system. Nowadays, due to the flexible power electronics transmission devices (FACTS), the power problems of the complicated and growing systems are solved more quickly and effectively. In addition, when FACTS devices are used appropriately, they increase the stability limits of power systems and ensure that the available resources are used in the best possible way. Among the most well-known FACTS devices are Static VAR Compensator (SVC), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). This study focuses on the modeling and analysis of Wind-PV Hybrid generation system with STATCOM in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The effect of the STATCOM on hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) was investigated. With STATCOM providing reactive power compensation in transmission systems, the reactive power desired by the system is absorbed or generated.
