Article Overview
Abstract
Increasing penetration of renewable energy sources (res) such as sun, wind, biomass and small hydro have led to the development of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRE) that ensures high reliability and energy security. However, the inherent intermittent, variability and non-lecture properties introduced to resulting important power quality challenges, including voltage fluctuations, hormonics, reactive power imbalance and frequency instability. These problems not only reduce system efficiency, but also danger -proof and reliable operation of sensitive stress. To solve these challenges, flexible AC transmission systems (facts) have emerged as a promising solution for PQ growth in hybrid systems and improved web stability.
The review papers offer a comprehensive examination of fact-based approaches to HRES in the HRRS, focused on devices such as static synchronous compensator (STACOM), Static Var Compensator (SVC), Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) and Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). Paper highlights the operating principles, control strategies and the application domains of these devices to reduce power quality problems. Special weight is placed on the use of STATCOM, due to its rapid dynamic reaction, better reactive strength support and adaptability for integration with renewable energy sources. In addition, the review presents a comparative analysis of facts about facts in terms of performance, cost efficiency and suitability for different hybrid system configuration. This article examines recent progress in the intelligent control algorithm, such as unclear logic, artificial neural networks and optimization-based controls, which have been integrated with actual tools to increase the effectiveness of real-time PQ control. In addition, challenges are discussed with large-scale scale, such as economic viability, technical limitations and compliance with online code, hardly discussed.
