This research paper investigates the application of a Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for power quality improvement of grid-connected wind systems. The increasing use of wind energy as a sustainable power source has highlighted the importance of mitigating the effects of wind turbine generator (WTG) on the grid system. The intermittent nature of wind energy and its stochastic behavior can affect the power quality of the grid, leading to voltage fluctuations, harmonics, and reactive power issues. STATCOM is a flexible and efficient power electronics-based device that can provide dynamic reactive power compensation and voltage regulation. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the STATCOM system for the improvement of power quality in a grid-connected wind system. The proposed system is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink. The results show that the use of STATCOM can effectively mitigate the voltage fluctuations and harmonics caused by the wind turbine generator. The STATCOM is also found to enhance the system's stability and increase the power factor of the grid-connected wind system. The findings of this research contribute to the development of sustainable power systems and the implementation of renewable energy sources into the grid.
