Abstract

With the random increment of power demand, the amount of renewable energy integration into the conventional grid is increasing day by day. Wind power is presently one of the most rapidly increasing renewable energy sources. As a result of the wind power being an uncontrollable resource, various problems regarding power quality and protection issues generate. The solid-state transformer (SST) has been found to be useful in integration of different distributed energy sources as well as wind power in the distribution grid with multiple functionalities. In this paper, the advantages of Solid State Transformer application improving the power quality issues in wind based DG system are described using real time case study through PSCAD/EMTDC simulation.
