The renewable energy resources like wind, solar, hydro, biomass etc. are required for sustainable growth and social progress, it is essential to meet the energy need by utilizing the renewable energy resources. The necessity of integrated renewable energy like wind energy into the power system is to make it minimize the environmental impacts. This project proposes the STATCOM control scheme for grid connected wind energy system for power quality emprovement. This paper discuses about the improvement of grid power quality with aid FACTS devices on integration of wind energy system. The generated power from renewable energy source is always fluctuating due to the environmental conditions. In this proposed scheme a STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) is connected at a Point Of Common Coupling (PCC) with battery energy storage system (BESS) to mitigate the power quality problems is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK in Sim Power System block set. Fuzzy based controller is designed to improve the profile of source current in STATCOM. The intended result of proposed scheme relives the main supply source from the reactive power demand of the load and the induction generator, and the reduction in the THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) in the source current of the system.
