Conclusion and Scope for Future Work
6.1 Conclusion
In India, electric energy demand is increased in day to day. Hybrid power generation is the
solution to compensate the upcoming demand. This research work describes the
functionality application of the FACTS devices to increase the power quality
performance of the power systems with a large share of distributed energy resources,
which includes large renewable sources such as Solar, wind farms etc.
Chapter 2 shows both solar and wind systems are integrated to be designed and
simulated as a hybrid system. The photovoltaic array is simulated according to the
characteristic equations. With variable temperature as well as irradiance, the solar model has
been simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK. A MPPT technique or algorithm is also used to
regulate the gate pulse switch of boost converter. It is also used to derive maximum power from
the module. The Perturb and Observe algorithm is considered amongst all as it is uncomplicated,
easy in operation as well as hardware implementation is very less as compared to other methods
or techniques. DC to DC conversion based converter is designed and simulated which increases
the amount of voltage extracted from the solar. SEIG based wind energy system has been
designed and simulated. The simulation results showed the excellent performance of the hybrid
control in response to severe changes in wind speed and solar intensity conditions.
Chapter 3 shows FACTS devices such as STATCOM, SVC, SSSC, and UPFC are used
for power quality improvement along voltage profile in a 12 Bus system considered in
this thesis work. FACTS devices are placed at suitable locations in a 12 bus multi-machine
power system model with two wind farms sources. Simulations show that there is a significant
improvement in power quality due to the FACTS devices. The developed model is stable with
and without FACTS devices. When comparing FACTS devices for better power quality and
voltage stability, it is clear that STATCOM and SSSC are superior to other FACTS devices.

The details of indirect matrix converter have been discussed in chapter 4. The rotor active
power is about 2000W where as reactive power is about 20VAR. The active and reactive
power of stator is also almost constant at very small fluctuation about 2 %. Further, the
complexity of designing a power electronic converter with capacitor sizing was really a
difficult and expensive job for the designers. Due to the easier way of designing converter they
can be rapidly used in wind energy conversion systems not only but also any other power
circuit. It is also observed that indirect matrix converters are capable of providing sinusoidal
input and output current without the DC-Link capacitor. This is a major advantage regarding
reduction in size and cost of AC-AC converter topologies.
Chapter 5 deals with the Fault analysis taken in to consideration during the operation
of DFIG in WECS. For best efficiency and better control the DFIG system is used which is
connected to grid side. The rotor side converter (RSC) usually provides active and reactive
power control of the machine while the grid-side converter (GSC) keeps the voltage of the
DC-link constant. The grid side and wind turbine side parameters are simulated and the
corresponding results have been shown in this work. It shows the nature of current changes
with the type of fault occurs in transmission system. The nature of wind turbine speed
is also changes with the occurrence of fault.The protection system is also taken in to
consideration which gives a trip signal to the system when there is a fault on the system.
Based on the simulation results it can be said that doubly fed induction generator proved to be
more reliable and stable system when connected to grid side withthe proper converter control
systems.

6.2 Scope for Future Work

The power quality and voltage stability of large power systems with biomass
distributed energy resources with different FACTS device has to be studied. Voltage
stability of power systems with a large share of distributed energy resources need to
be studied further along with optimization of FACTS devices location. Battery charge
controller can be designed for more reliable operation in a hybrid energy system.
Neural networks can be applied in the systems to control the switching of solar and
wind system individually. The SCADA system can be used to store the historical Sun
and Wind profile of any geographical location and analyses the power demand of that
place. Based on these, proper load scheduling can be done.Uncertainties in the system
load at wind generator bus can be modelled by capturing noise due to wind effects could be
developed. Dynamic behaviour of double-output induction generator (DOIG) driven by wind

turbine under wind speed variation and during and after grid faults has to be studied. The
damping methods can be tested to reduce high transient values of current and voltages at
different parts of WECS. The changing nature of power system and their dynamic behaviours
could be analysed to identify critical issues that limit the large scale integration of wind
generators and FACTS devices. The optimal placement of FACTS controller devices may be
studied in the pool model as well as hybrid electricity market model in the restructured power
system. Artificial intelligence techniques may also be incorporated in the proposed system to
achieve better performance.
