Introduction
Wind energy is a promising green energy and becomes increasingly viable &popular. The cost of wind-generated electric energy has dropped substantially(6-7 per KWH). By 2005, the worldwide capacity had been increased to 58,982 MW-Cost is $ 20002500/KW World Wind Energy Association expects 120,000 MW to be installed globally by 2010.

Introduction
Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) Using Large Squirrel Cage/Slip ring Induction Generators
Stand alone-Village Electricity Electric Grid Connected WECS
Distributed/Dispersed/Farm Renewable Wind Energy Schemes
Located closer to Load Centers Low Reliability, Utilization, Security
Motivations
Energy crisis
Shortage of conventional fossil fuel based energy Escalating/rising cost of fossil fuels
Environmental/Pollution/GHG Issues
Greenhouse gas emission /Carbon Print Acid Rain/Smog/VOC-Micro-Particulates Water/Air/Soil Pollution &Health Hazards
Motivations
Large wind farm utilization is also emerging (50MW-250 MW) Sized Using Super Wind driven Turbines 1.6, 3.6, 5 MW Sizes Many new interface Regulations/Standards/PQ Requirements regarding full integration of large distributed/dispersed Wind Farms into Utility Grid.
Motivations
Challenges for Utility Grid–Wind Integration.
Stochastically-Highly Variable wind power injected into the Utility Grid. Increased Wind MW-Power penetration Level. Low SCR-Weak Distribution/Sub Transmission/Transmission Networks
- Mostly of a Radial Configuration - Large R/X ratio distribution Feeder with high Power Losses (4-10 %), Voltage Regulation Problems/Power Quality/Interference Issues. Required Reactive Power Compensation & Increased Burden brought by the induction generator

System Description-wind turbine
Wind turbine model based on the steady-state power characteristics of the turbine 1 Pm = C p × S × ρ × V 3 2
S -- the Total BladeArea swept by the rotor blades (m^2) v -- the wind velocity (m/s) ρ--air density (kg/v^3)
System Description C1=0.5176, C2=116, C3=0.4, C4=5, C5=21 and C6=0.0068 c3 λi
C2 C p (λ , β ) = C1 − C3 β − C4 e + C6 λ λi 1 1 0.035 = − 3 λi λ + 0.08β β + 1
tip speed ratio λ is the quotient between the tangential speed of the rotor blade tips and the undisturbed wind velocity
System Description
– Wind speed
The dynamic wind speed model consists of four basic components:
Mean wind speed-14 m/s Wind speed ramp with a slope of ±5.6 Wind gust v = Ag [1− cos(2π (t / Dg − Tsg / Dg ))] Ag: the amplitude of the gust Tsg: the starting time of the gust Teg: the end time of the gust Dg = Teg - Tsg Turbulence components: a random Gaussian series
Wind Speed Dynamic Model 18 16
The eventual wind speed applied to the wind turbine is the summation of all four key components.

Digital Simulation
Digital Study System Validation is done by using Matlab/Simulink/Sim-Power Software Environment under a sequence of excursions:
Load switching/Excusrions
At t = 0.2 second, the induction motor was removed from bus 5 for a duration of 0.1 seconds; At t = 0.4 second, linear load was removed from bus 4 for a duration of 0.1 seconds; At t = 0.5 second, the AC distribution system recovered to its initial state.

Conclusions
Three Novel FACTS-based Converter & Control schemes, namely the MPFC, the DVR, and the HPFC, have been Developed and validated for voltage stabilization, power factor correction and power quality improvement in the distribution network with dispersed wind energy integrated.
Recommendation
The Low-Cost MPFC-Scheme 1 is preferred for low to medium size wind energy integration schemes (from 600 to 5000 kW). The DVR-Scheme 2 is good for Strong AC subtransmission and distribution systems with large X/R ratio The HPFC-Scheme 2 Active Power Filter & Capacitor Compensator is most suitable for Larger Wind-Farms with MW-energy penetration level (100 MW or above).
Recommendation
The schemes validated in this research need to be fully tested in the distribution network with real dispersed wind energy systems. This research can be extended to the grid integration of other dispersed renewable energy. Other Artificial Intelligence based control strategies can be investigated in future work.
Conclusions
A Validation Study of a unified sample study system Using the ATLAB/Simulink A dynamic wind speed software model was developed to simulate the varying Random/Stochastic and temporal wind variations in the MATLAB/Simulink Three Novel FACTS based Stabilization Schemes were validated using digital simulations Novel Control strategies using dynamic Multi-Loop Decoupled Controllers were developed & Validated
