Abstract :
Today´s power industry faces lot of problem in maintaining the voltage stability and system stability. Installation of compensating devices proves to be a solution. But the cost of compensating devices adds burden to the consumer consumption changes. Hence a new method of utilizing fuel cell a renewable energy source as a compensating device is proposed in this work. Fuel cell is modelled as Staic Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) - a FACTS compensating device. The ability of the fuel cell based STATCOM in improving the system voltage stability and transient stability after a fault condition is also done in MATLAB simulink environment.
