In this book, Enhancement of power quality by means of LVRT capability of

wind farm driven by PMSG is presented. Nowadays the share of power

using wind generation is increasing continuously in all over the world;
hence penetration of wind power in to grid is also increasing. The grid
connection condition of the wind turbine is more important and Cascading
effect should be avoided; wind turbine should stay connected to grid
during grid disturbances. Connecting wind farm to grid is difficult and
challenging task for the system operators as there are many connection
requirements as a part of Grid Codes. One of the dynamic requirements
mentioned in grid code is Low voltage ride through capability. It also
presents control of reactive power to satisfy grid code requirement using
STATCOM. Simulation results show the real power, reactive power with
STATCOM and without STATCOM.
