Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is able to mitigate the resonance in wind farms by optimizing the controller parameters in a way to shape its impedance. However, doing so may be not always effective due to the limitations in the STATCOM design. Therefore, this paper proposes a STATCOM imped...
