Today’s modern interconnected power system is highly complex in nature. Reliability
and security are one of the most necessary requirements of an electric power
system during the normal operation. Wind Energy Conversions Systems (WECS) has reached
a level of most importance during recent years. A primary source of distributed
generation systems has the variable speed wind turbines along with a direct
driven PMSG and power electronic interfaces. These are the most frequently used
systems that are displaying the variability in output power levels as a result in
change of the prime mover speed. When the grid is interconnected with such a
configuration then it will introduce various challenges to the network related
to stability, power quality and voltage regulation issues. It can cure by providing
modern power electronic devices known as FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission
System) devices, along with their controllers. Among the FACTs device, Static
synchronous series compensator (SSSC) due to high speed changes its reactance
characteristic inductive to capacitive, is effective power flow controller and
proposes a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for FACTS controller which has the
ability to withstand all the faulty conditions that are taken into considered. The
Stability of WECS can be enhanced by using a FACTS based device which is a Static
Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) that can improve the voltage compensation
capability.
