Abstract

 this paper deals with the effect of FACTS devices such as Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) and Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) on stability of the system connected to wind turbine under normal and fault conditions. Simulink models are developed for 5 bus system with wind turbine with and without FACTS devices. Digital simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK is done with these models and the results are presented. The effect of UPFC and STATCOM on real power, reactive power and the voltage is also presented.
