Abstract
This Paper Poses Several Challenges Due to the erratic nature of wind resources, integrating wind energy into the electrical grid presents a number of difficulties. The existence of sub-harmonics, which might influence the grid system's stability and overall performance, is one of the major worries. The usage of a Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) to improve the sub-harmonics in a wind-connected grid system is examined in this research. The SSSC is a power electronic component that offers voltage support and reactive power adjustment. The sub-harmonics in the grid system can be efficiently attenuated by regulating the SSSC. This study assesses the effectiveness of several SSSC control strategies in reducing subharmonics and enhancing the stability and power quality of the system. A wind-connected grid system model is used in MATLABSimulink simulation investigations. The outcomes show that the SSSC's inclusion successfully lowers the sub-harmonics and raises the grid system's overall power quality. The efficiency of the various control schemes in reducing sub-harmonics and their effects on the dynamic responsiveness of the system are contrasted. The study's findings offer important new information about how to use SSSC to improve the subharmonics in grid systems with wind connections. When intermittent wind energy sources are present, the use of SSSC provides an efficient way to increase grid stability, reduce sub- harmonics, and improve power quality. The outcomes can direct system designers and operators in putting in place suitable control strategies to enhance performance.
