Modeling and simulation of grid connected wind electric generating system

The effects of variation in grid voltage and frequency on the performance of the grid connected wind electric generating system has been studied for various wind velocities. The induction generator, wind turbine and other network components are modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The model has been made realistic by considering the nonlinear variation of R/sub m/ and X/sub m/ of the induction generator. A simple simulation procedure is developed to predict the system performance and the results are presented. The dynamic VAr compensation by using TSC is also studied and the best location for the compensating capacitor is suggested.
