Nowadays, among the renewable energy resources, wind energy is more economically viable than other new sources. To achieve the maximum power at different wind speeds, the turbine speed must be variable over a wide range. Electricity generation from wind is performed by different models of wind turbines with different generators. Due to the capabilities and advantages such as relatively high power density, low noise, high efficiency, high reliability and low maintenance costs, wind turbines equipped with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) are in increasing use. This paper presents a method for modeling and controlling the stability of PMSG-equipped power systems using static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). STATCOM is a static synchronous generator that is installed in parallel with the power grid and is used as a reactive power compensator which plays an effective role in voltage stability. The main goal of this study is to develop a reliable control strategy for wind farms and STATCOM to investigate the effect of reactive power losses under constant and sub-fault conditions. Furthermore, to increase the attenuation of the synchronous generator of single-machine system with infinite bus, STATCOM with PID controller is connected to the studied system to rise the dynamic stability of the PMSG based wind turbine.
