Utilizing the renewable energy at consumer side is not required additional transmission capacity. Solar power plant connected with wind generator can support real and reactive power to the unbalance three phase loads. The unbalance load always requires more reactive power compare to balanced load. The reactive power support demand of the unbalanced load is supplied by any conventional FACTS devices. These conventional devices add additional cost and require maintenance also. In this proposed system Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) based solar power plant acts like a STATCOM and reduces the additional cost requirement. The unbalanced three phase load have different reactive power requirement for individual phase. The PWM based FACTS devices supplies only balanced reactive power support irrespective of their requirement. It leads to poor compensation and requires large size of FACTS devices. In this paper the Individual Phase Current sensing method is used and the performance of the system is analyzed for PI controller. The MATLAB simulation verification is presented.
