Abstract
This paper presents the concept of utilization of PV-solar farm as static synchronous compensator (PV-Statcom) to mitigate power quality issues like poor power factor, voltage variations and current harmonics in power systems. The proposed system includes non linear load, wind generator and solar PV- Statcom. The solar PV - Statcom compensating harmonics produced by local load, supplies reactive power required by the wind genrator in addition to active power injection is demonstrated in this reseach work. The PV-Statcom control pattern for enhancing quality of power is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink in simpower system block set.
