 This project to enhance the stability of a grid-
connected wind farm composed of a fixed speed
wind turbine system using a combination of a
small series dynamic braking resistor and static
synchronous compensator. The SDBR and
STATCOM have active and reactive power control
abilities. And a combination of these units paves
the way to stabilize well the fixed-speed wind
farm. A salient feature of this work is that the
effectiveness of the proposed system to
minimize the blade-shaft oscillation of a fixed-
speed WTGS.
 To stabilize a grid-connected wind farm of a
variable-speed wind turbine generator
system using a combination of a SDBR and
STATCOM.
 Since wind power generation are intermittent
power generation, there is a voltage and
power fluctuation at its output.

 But, before synchronizing the wind power to

the grid, we need the stabilize the wind
output power.
 In proposed system, a coordinated control
scheme is adopted among the SDBR,
STATCOM and pitch controller to stabilize the
wind farm under dynamic and network fault
conditions.
 The coordinated control scheme is
schematically shown in Fig. 4.
1) The STATCOM will work during normal operation to
maintain constant voltage at the wind farm terminal, and
hence, the terminal voltage is set as the control input of
the STATCOM in the coordinated control scheme. The
STATCOM will also work during the grid fault condition
when the terminal voltage falls below a threshold value.
2) The SDBR works only during the grid fault condition
along with the STATCOM to enhance the FRT capability
of the wind farm when the terminal voltage falls below
the threshold value.
3) The pitch controllers are attached with individual wind
generators and activate when the power exceeds the rated
values of the generators. Therefore, wind generator
output power is set as the input of the pitch controller.
During the grid fault condition, the pitch controller will
also activate when the wind generator power exceeds the
rated values, particularly when the fault occurs at high
wind conditions.
 The STATCOM will work during normal
operation to maintain constant voltage at the
wind farm terminal. The STATCOM will also
work during the grid fault condition when the
terminal voltage falls below a threshold value.
 The SDBR is used to balance the active power
during network disturbance through electrical
dissipation.
 A resistor is dynamically inserted in the
generation circuit for a short time during the
grid fault, which increases the voltage at the
generating end and thus helps in balancing
power and electromagnetic torque as well.
 In this paper, the SDRB is centrally placed to
augment the FRT capability of the wind farm
composed of fixed-speed WTGSs
