Abstract: The paper study shows the power quality problem due to the installation of a wind turbine with the grid. When the wind power is injected into the electric power system it has the stability problem. Fixed speed induction generators needed reactive power to maintain air gap flux. The Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) near a wind farm is investigated for the purpose of stabilizing the grid voltage. The STATCOM is used with wind energy system at the point of common coupling to reduce power quality issues. The control scheme for grid-connected wind energy system with statcom is simulated using MATLAB for the purpose of power quality improvement in the power system. The simulation results reveal the performance of STATCOM in conjunction with PI controller. In this paper fuzzy logic controller is used instead of PI controller for reducing total harmonic distortion in the source current of the grid-connected wind energy generating system. For the power quality improvement of the grid-connected wind energy generating system a STATCOM control scheme is simulated using MATLAB the power system block set by using the Fuzzy logic controller.
