Abstract
To ensure the transient stability of power system connected to a wind farm, wind power plant must be able to supply reactive power at the point of the common coupling(PCC). The reactive power capability of each individual wind turbine may not sufficient to maintain stability. Also, there are large reactive power losses in connection cables between wind farm and PCC. The static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) is considered for transient stability enhancement, because it provides many advantages such as the fast response time and superior reactive power support capability. In this paper, the effectiveness of a STATCOM in enhancing transient stability of power system connected to a wind farm is presented. The results of dynamic simulations show that STATCOM installed at the PCC can enhance transient stability.
