TLDR
In this paper, the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is used to regulate the point of common coupling voltage during nighttime when the solar farm is not producing any active power.Abstract:
This letter presents a novel concept of utilizing pho- tovoltaic (PV) solar farm (SF) as a flexible ac transmission systems controller—static synchronous compensator, to regulate the point of common coupling voltage during nighttime when the SF is not producing any active power. This concept, although general, is pre- sented for the scenario of a distribution feeder, which has both PV solar and wind farms connected to it. The proposed control will en- able increased connections of renewable energy sources in the grid. A MATLAB/Simulink-based simulation study is presented under variable wind power generation and fault condition to validate the proposed concept. Index Terms—Distributed generation, flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS), solar energy, static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), voltage regulation, wind energy.read more

Queuing Up
TL;DR: The interconnection queue is the mechanism for grouping and ordering prospective generation projects for evaluating impacts on the bulk system as mentioned in this paper. But it is difficult to find a queue that does not contain at least some wind generation projects; in the areas of the country with good or better wind resources, there may be dozens of prospective projects awaiting study.
