Harmonic Reduction in Grid Connected Wind Energy System with Dynamic Voltage Restorer Using Fuzzy Logic Technique

Grid connected Wind energy conversion system uses power Electronic converters hardly in fixed speed systems except for reactive power compensation. This Power Electronic converter causes major electrical losses and affects power quality of the system. The quality of the voltage and current is also affected by sensitive loads which are used widely in most of Automated Industries and Research laboratories. Disturbances in waveforms occurs which results in harmonics. To improve such power quality problem of the system DVR which is based on fuzzy logic technique is introduced. The system is tested for conventional technique and also with fuzzy logic. The performance is investigated through MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The simulation results confirm the superior performance of the proposed DVR based fuzzy logic technique than conventional technique. The proposed system reduces harmonics as well as mitigates voltage sag/swell.
