The major contribution towards generation of electricity is done by using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, tidal and hybrid. Today due to shortage of fuels and environmental pollution caused by greenhouse gases, renewable energy has come to an effect. Large wind farms connected to power grid results in major power quality problems like current and voltage harmonics, voltage sag/swell, voltage unbalance etc are the major reasons which cause damage to the electrical equipment. Due to

When WECS is connected to a grid the power quality problems such as voltage dip, voltage swell and harmonic contents are mitigated. This results show that the quality of power is increased with STATCOM. With the development in the smart home industry, smart curtain would be introduced into the life of people which is based on Arduino.
