The Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) iscurrently the most popular machine topology for wind energyconversion systems (WECS) applications. New configuration ofDFIG is single external feeding of doubly fed induction generator(SEF-DFIG) where a rotor side converter (RSC) supersedes theback to back Variable Frequency Converter in the conventionalDFIG. This paper, investigates the effect of Static SynchronousCompensator (STATCOM) application on SEF-DFIG operationin WECS. The simulation has been done in PSCAD/EMTDCframework.
