Mitigation of Voltage Instability in the Hybrid Solar or Wind System using Facts Device

Abstract

Abstract World Power demand increasing very fast in recent years. To fulfill the demand for power, renewable resources which are environmentally friendly play a very vital role. Solar and wind power systems being the most environment-friendly renewable energy resources are getting a lot of attention to meet the demand for power. But as these resources are fluctuating and are dependent on atmospheric conditions, system stability may get affected. The Power Quality issues like voltage instability and harmonics are the main problem when generating power through solar and wind systems. These kinds of issues must be mitigated while implementing these eco-friendly renewable energy resources. The simulation model for solar and wind power systems has been presented in this research paper. To mitigate the issues of voltage instability and harmonics FACTs device as a controller is implemented. The simulation is done by using ETAP software.
