Abstract

In this article in order to improve quality of produced energy from self-excited asynchronous generator, with regard to the problems such as voltage control, frequency and reactive power control under load variation and symmetrical short circuit and issues related to power quality, the use of two important FACTS devices namely STATCOM and SVC is evaluated and it is shown that these equipments have a significant effect on improving quality of produced energy from the generator, and they can also be effective in improving the generator loading.
