Abstract

 In recent years, Microgrid has become more attractive. A combination of renewable energy resources with load at the distribution level appears preferable. However, such a combination is challenging to work correctly. Power system indices such as voltage and frequency appear difficult to be within an allowable limit. This research will use a STATCOM compensator to increase the voltage stability of the power system containing wind and solar energy generation systems. The STATCOM based modular multi-level converter is designed to increase the output voltage quality and reduce filter requirements. The proportional and integral (PI) and integral sliding mode (ISM) controller is designed in a MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the STATCOM compensator in this hybrid system with both PI and ISM controllers.
