) at connection point of STATCOM/BESS (point K in
Fig. 3) by using phase locked loop (PLL). Suitable adjustment
of phase and magnitude of the VSC output voltages allows
effective control of power exchange between the STATCOM/
BESS and the ac system. In this paper, STATCOM/BESS is
controlled also to regulate the wind farm terminal voltage.
Therefore, the aim of the control is to maintain the magnitude
of voltage at the wind farm terminal (point K in Fig. 3) to be
constant, resulting also constant wind generator terminal
voltage. In the vector control scheme, the three-phase reference
signals are compared with the triangular carrier wave signal in
order to generate the switching signals for the IGBT switched
VSC. High switching frequencies can be used to improve the
efficiency of the converter without incurring significant
switching losses. In the simulation analyses, the switching
frequency is chosen 1000Hz. The snubber circuit resistance and
capacitance values of the IGBT devices shown in Fig. 6 are
5000 O and 0.05 F respectively. The DC link voltage is
3.2kV. The STATCOM/BESS is coupled to the 66KV line
through a single step down transformer (66KV/2.0kV) with
0.2p.u leakage reactance (base value 100MVA). The
parameters of the PI controllers used in Fig. 7 are shown in
Table II.

VI. SIMULATION RESULTS
Real wind speed data shown in Fig. 8, which was obtained in
Hokkaido Island, Japan, is used in the simulation. The time step
and simulation time have been chosen 0.00005sec and 600sec
respectively. The simulations have been done by using
PSCAD/EMTDC [19]. Two cases are considered to show the
effectiveness of STATCOM/BESS topology for output power
and terminal voltage smoothing.
Case-1: Conventional Pitch Controller without STATCOM/
BESS Topology
In this case, the conventional pitch controller is used to control
the IG output power at rated level when the wind speed is above
the rated speed. Fig.9 and Fig.10 show the real power and
terminal voltage responses of induction generator with using
only the conventional pitch controller. It is seen that the
conventional pitch controller cannot smooth well the wind
generator output power and terminal voltage of induction
generator.

Case-2: Conventional Pitch Controller with STATCOM/BESS
Topology
In this case, the effectiveness of the control strategy of
STATCOM/BESS is demonstrated. Fig.11 shows the IG output
power and reference line power responses in the case
STATCOM/ BESS is connected to point K in Fig. 3. In Fig.12,
responses of the line power, P
L
, and the real power of
STATCOM/BESS unit are shown together. It is clear that
STATCOM/BESS can smooth the line power well according to
the reference line power. The wind turbine blade pitch angle
response is shown in Fig. 13. The conventional pitch controller
works only when wind speed is over the rated speed. In Fig. 14,
the terminal voltage response of induction generator is
presented when STATCOM/BESS is used. The STATCOM/
BESS can provide necessary reactive power to maintain the
constant voltage at wind generator terminal as shown in Fig.
15.

Finally, the smoothing effect of wind farm line power with
and without considering STATCOM/BESS can also be
understood clearly from the frequency spectrum of the line
power as shown in Fig.16.
VII. CONCLUSION
In this study, the control scheme of STATCOM/BESS
topology for wind power application is presented. As wind is
fluctuating in nature, the output power and terminal voltage of
wind generator also fluctuate randomly. The proposed control
system can smooth the wind generator output power. Moreover,
it can also maintain constant voltage magnitude at wind farm
terminal. It is known that a battery has some drawback such as
shorter life cycle and low discharge rate due to chemical
reaction rates. But it has also some advantages such as low cost,
easy replacement, and enormously reduced dc-link capacitor
value when used as ESS. Therefore the STATCOM/BESS
topology may be cost and performance comparative with the
other energy storage systems such as superconducting
magnetic energy storage system (SMES), energy capacitor
system (ECS) or flywheel storage system. Finally, the
simulation results clearly show the suitability of the proposed
control system of STATCOM/BESS topology for wind power
application. In the future study, we will adopt multi-level
inverter model for STATCOM/BESS topology and analyze
also the transient stability of wind turbine generator system,
where multi-mass drive train model will be considered.
