This Paper discusses the integration of a Hybrid FACTS Controller,
consisting of a multi-level DSTATCOM and D-GCSC, into wind energy
systems (WES) for effective harmonic mitigation and voltage stabilization
against load disturbances. The analysis reveals a significant reduction in Total
Harmonic Distortion (THD) values when employing the hybrid system,
making it compliant with IEEE standards for quality. The study contrasts
three system configurations—using a capacitor bank, a multi-level
DSTATCOM, and the hybrid compensator—demonstrating the hybrid
solution's superior performance in reducing harmonics and ensuring voltage
stability.

ABSTRACT
Voltage stability iscrucial for standalone Self-Excited Induction Generator (SEIG) systems,
especially in wind power generation. These systems often struggle with voltage fluctuations
and instability due to varying wind speeds and changes in load. To tackle these challenges,
our study looks into how we can improve voltage stability by integrating a Static VAR
Compensator (SVC) and a Gate-Controlled Series Capacitor (GCSC) in SEIG-based wind
power plants. The SVC is designed to provide dynamic reactive power support, helping to
keep voltage levels steady even when loads fluctuate. On the other hand, the GCSC plays a
key role in managing reactive power flow better and boosting the transient stability of the
system. We’ve modeled and simulated the coordinated operation of these two components
to see how they affect voltage stability. Our findings show a notable enhancement in
voltage profiles, a reduction in harmonic distortions, and overall improved reliability of the
system. This approach not only strengthens the voltage stability of standalone SEIG wind
power systems but also makes them more dependable for use in remote and off-grid
locations. Additionally, the methodology we developed could potentially be adapted for
hybrid renewable energy systems in the future.

STATIC VAR COMPENSATOR(SVC)
SVC
• A static VAR compensator (SVC) is a device that regulates voltage and
power in high-voltage electricity transmission networks. SVCs are part of
the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) family of devices.
Working of SVC
SVCs work by injecting reactive current into a load to support voltage and
mitigate voltage sag. They can:
• Regulate voltage: SVCs control the amount of reactive power that is
absorbed or injected into the power system.
• Generate reactive power: When the system voltage is low, the SVC
generates reactive power.
• Absorb reactive power: When the system voltage is high, the SVC
absorbs reactive power.

Gate Controlled SeriesCapacitor (GCSC)
• GCSC Overview:
• A GCSC is a power electronics device designed to control
the series capacitance in a transmission line dynamically.
• It operates by switching capacitors in and out of the
circuit, there by adjusting the reactive power.
• Role in Voltage Stability:
• The GCSC stabilizes the output voltage by compensating
for reactive power in real-time.
• It responds rapidly to changes in load and wind speed,
ensuring a consistent voltage output.
CLOSED LOOP CONTROLOF SVC
Closed loop control of SVC" refers to a system where a Static Var Compensator (SVC)
continuously monitors the voltage on a power grid and adjusts its reactive power output in
real-time to maintain a desired voltage level by utilizing a feedback loop, effectively
reacting to changes in the system to keep voltage stable
Key points about closed loop control of SVC:
· Feedback mechanism:
The SVC uses sensors to measure the actual voltage on the grid, which is then compared
to the desired voltage setpoint within the controller.
· Control adjustments:
Based on the difference between the measured and desired voltage, the controller
calculates the necessary reactive power output adjustment needed from the SVC to correct
the voltage.
· Dynamic response:
This closed-loop system allows the SVC to react quickly to fluctuations in the power
system, providing fast and precise voltage control.
Benefits of closed loop SVC control:
· Improved voltage stability: Maintains consistent voltage levels even during changing
load conditions.
· Reduced power losses: By regulating voltage, losses in the system can be minimized.
· Enhanced system reliability: Helps prevent voltage sags and swells, improving overall
power quality
