Abstract —— Renewable Energy is emerging as major Source of power throughout the world. Wind Energy is one of the most popular sources of renewable energy. Distribution-connected wind turbine is accompanied with various power quality issues. Flicker is one of the power quality issues in a distributionconnected wind turbine imposing technical limitations on amount of wind power to be integrated at particular point of common coupling (PCC). This paper details the flicker problems ncountered upon the connection of wind power to distribution networks and its effects on the network characteristics commensurate with the flicker severity. It describes the mitigation of flicker in a distribution connected wind-farm with the STATCOM.
