Wind energy system load analysis with voltage regulator controller based statcom

The RMS values of the voltage outputs from the wind energy system where the speed of wind varies between 0 to 25 m/s has been observed. It is made to drive the heavy loads and the drop in the voltage outputs is being observed and compared with the system having the STATCOM with AC DC voltage regulation controller. The load has been varied continuously to observe the optimum value of load up to which both the systems are compatible. The waveform of the open circuit voltage output has a variation up to 800 to 1000 volts. This voltage should be maintained when it is made to drive any load without dropping in its value. It was observed that the voltage dip in system without STATCOM is more while driving 1000 KW load. However, the Optimum value of the system upto which it can drive load is 18KW and with STATCOM having AC DC voltage regulation controller It has improved to 50KW.
