Abstract: Power quality issues in weak grids with large impedance pose significant challenges that limit wind energy (WE) penetration levels and the performance efficiency of existing WE infrastructure. The presence of non-linear (NL) loads at the point of common coupling (PCC) further restricts these levels. This paper addresses these challenges by introducing an additional distributed static compensator (DSTATCOM) at the PCC, controlled by a higher-order Delayed Least Mean Fourth (DLMF) algorithm. The proposed DLMF control algorithm estimates the active and reactive components of the load current by updating their respective weights with appropriate delays, considering variations in loads, DC-link voltage, and wind energy generation. The MATLAB implementation of the proposed control is designed and validated through experimental investigations. These investigations involve varying short circuit ratios, wind speeds, and the presence of NL loads. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can enhance wind penetration levels in weak grids by up to 30%.
