Reactive Power Compensation in a Stand-alone Wind-diesel-tidal Hybrid System by a Fuzzy Logic Based UPFC

Abstract This paper gives a novel idea of application of fuzzy based UPFC controller for Reactive Power compensation in an isolated hybrid system and also discusses the improvement of stability in the hybrid system. For detailed analysis a small signal linear model of the hybrid wind- Diesel- tidal model is considered with different loading conditions. The reactive power compensation and stability analysis have been thoroughly analysed by a UPFC Controller. A fuzzy logic controller is designed to tune the parameters of UPFC controller. Simulation result shows that the system parameters attend steady state value with lesser time and complexities.
