D-STATCOM for Distribution Network Compensation Linked with Wind Generation Ali M. Eltamaly, Yehia Sayed Mohamed, Abou-Hashema M. El-Sayed, Amer Nasr A. Elghaffar, and Ahmed G. Abo-Khalil Abstract Wind generation is considered as one of the optimum renewable energy sources due to its more saving running cost, zero-emission, and friendly environ- ment at comparing with the traditional power plants. Using the wind farms with the utility grid can’t reach the optimum compensation during any abnormal condition in the power system. Distributed Static Synchronous Compensators (D-STATCOM) is a power electronic control system to be used with the distribution power network for harmonics current elimination, reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, voltage flicker mitigation, and frequency regulation. D-STATCOM provides effec- tive compensation to the unbalance or the nonlinear loads by injecting the required accurate value at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) depending on the Voltage Source Converter (VSC). This chapter proposes a design procedure of a high-power D-STATCOM with the distribution network linked with the wind generation for enhancing the power system quality. The proposed simulation in this chapter has been done using the MATLAB/Simulink software for distribution voltage control, loadability, and power loss reduction using the D-STATCOM control techniques with the electrical distribution network.
