Power management in a grid-integrated power system consisting of distributed renewable energy sources is necessitated by ever-increasing energy consumption, the high cost of production, the limited resource of fossil fuel, and the worsening global environment. Wind and solar power generation are two of the most promising renewable power generation technologies. The growth of wind and photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems has exceeded the most optimistic levels of expectations. Fuel cells (FCs) also have great potential to be green power sources of the future because of the many merits they have, such as high efficiency and zero or low emission of …

A New Method To Reduce The Adverse Effects Of Wind Power On Power Quality Using Reactive Power Compensating Capacitors, Seyed Navid Zahedi, Amir Amini, Hamid Falaghi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The usage of distributed generation resources, particularly distributed generation with renewable sources, has increased to generate electrical power close to consumers. One of the factors that can reduce penetration of distributed generation resources is the limitation of power quality, such as harmonic distortions. Distributed generation sources, in addition to producing power, due to using of power electronic converters and changing the power flow, increase harmonic currents. On the other hand, local compensation of reactive power by parallel capacitor banks is one of the effective methods to reduce power system losses and harmonic distortions. Since the capacitor impedance varies at different …
