Abstract

A microgrid is an important component unit of future power grid. Its character is different from the grid itself and requires separated dedicated research. This paper mainly researches a microgrid system containing a diesel generator, two wind power generators, two loads and one STATCOM. The model is established, and the system character is researched in different scenarios. STATCOM can compensate the active and reactive power needed by the load and strengthens the system stability.
