Control of a STATCOM-assisted self-excited induction generator-based WECS feeding non-linear three-phase and single-phase loads

Self-excited induction generator (SEIG)-based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are very popular for supplying stand-alone loads at remote sites. The SEIG needs adjustable VAR to regulate its terminal voltage and frequency. Usually, a combination of a static compensator (STATCOM) and a fixed capacitor bank is used to meet this VAR demand. Here, a state feedback-based control scheme is proposed...
