Abstract :
Wind energy is an abundant renewable source of energy that can be used to feed isolated electric loads as well as grid connected ones. The variation of wind power with the continuous variations of wind speed can cause significant power quality issues. This paper presents a low cost switched capacitor filter compensator for power quality enhancement and harmonic mitigation of distribution networks with wind energy. The power filter/capacitor compensator scheme provides an effective way to enhance power quality, reduce harmonics.
