Modeling and optimization of remote solar - Wind hybrid station for stability & reactive power management

This paper proposes Particle swarm optimization based TCSC Compensator in solar-wind hybrid station for Reactive power management and transient stability analysis. It also aims to select the setting parameters of TCSC (Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator) controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to mitigate small signal oscillations. The standalone hybrid system has been simulated under different loading conditions for which a transfer function model has been considered. Impacts due to variable load, Wind power input and solar insolation have been studied and the detailed behavior of the system has been studied during normal and fault condition. Simulation results related to Reactive power compensation and voltage stability have been improvised with PSO.
