A New Real Time Approach for Reactive Power Control by STATCOM in Autonomous Wind-Diesel Hybrid Power System

Abstract

This paper presents the reactive power control of Autonomous WindDiesel Hybrid Power Systems (AWDHPS) under dSPACE real time environment. The reactive power absorption and supply is done by a Static Compensator (STATCOM) controlled by proportional plus integral controller and tuned by dSPACE DS 1104. The disturbance parameters in the models were the change in reactive power of the load (ΔQ L ), the change in mechanical power input of the induction generator (ΔP IW ) respectively. The parameters were dynamically varied in control desk of dSPACE Software.
