    Abstract

    This project focuses on enhancing power quality in a grid-connected wind energy system by the utilization of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM). The integration of wind power into an electric system has an impact on electricity quality. The power quality measurements encompass various factors, including active power, reactive power, voltage variation, flicker, harmonics, and the electrical characteristics of switching operations. This research investigates the power quality issues arising from the integration of wind turbines with the grid. The implementation of a Static Compensator (STATCOM) with a fuzzy controller at the point of common coupling is proposed as a means to address power quality issues. The simulation of a grid-connected wind energy producing system, employing a STATCOM-control scheme, is conducted using the SIMULINK software.
