Abstract
Renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and tidal can be used as an alternative source of power in remote area applications, and also, such sources provide a clean and environment-friendly power. However, the main drawback of using renewable energy sources for these deserted places is the fluctuating nature and that creates problems in matching the load demand. Combinations of renewable energy sources with conventional generators make the solution more viable and affordable. For overcoming the technical and financial contingencies associated with renewable energy sources, proper control of power, coordination of subsystems, energy storage, and power quality are the main challenges. The present paper describes the theory and simulation of SSSC, a flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) controller used in the wind power system. Two groups of wind turbine generator systems are used to design this wind power system which is producing electricity for isolated locations. In this paper, SIM POWER SYSTEM toolbox of MATLAB software is used for system simulation to investigate the effect of SSSC on the voltage profiles under different loading conditions and also considered for active and reactive power congestion relief of the induction machines.
