Abstract

 

 

The paper presents a novel flexible alternating current transmission system (FACTS) based stabilization scheme developed by the second author for use in small scale residential/commercial micro grid (wind-induction generator) utilization schemes in the range 5 to 50 kVA, for stabilized efficient renewable wind utilization. The novel FACTS stabilization scheme is fully validated using Matlab/Simulink for small scale residential and commercial electric loads. The use of three-phase induction generator ensures both efficient utilization, improved power factor operation of the single phase-self excited operation of the three phase induction generator equipped with FACTS based switched filter compensation scheme (SFC) used to ensure Dynamic Voltage Regulation (DVR), and efficient energy utilization of micro grid wind schemes for residential/commercial applications.

 

Key words: Flexible alternating current transmission system - switched filter compensation, efficient utilization, micro-wind generation.
