Regulation of Grid Voltage by the Application of Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Farm as STATCOM
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, it is shown that a combination of PV solar farm and storage batteries can be advantageous in a distribution system having wind farm in close vicinity to the solar Farm. This concept utilizes the photovoltaic (PV) solar farm (SF) as Flexible ac transmission system controller-static synchronous compensator, to regulate the point of common coupling voltage during night time when the SF is not producing any active power. The proposed control will enable increased connections of WECS to the grid. MATLAB/SIMULINK based simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed indirect grid voltage regulation utilizing the PV solar farm and storage batteries. Index Terms — Battery storage, converter/inverter, photovoltaic (PV) system, solar power, voltage regulation, wind power.
