        abstract = {The integration of renewable energy sources, particularly Wind energy conversion systems (WECS), into the existing power grid is transforming the energy landscape by reducing our reliance on conventional fossil fuels. However, this transition is not without its challenges, particularly concerning the power quality and reliability of the grid. This project proposes an integration of a Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM) into the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) to mitigate harmonic distortions. The DSTATCOM actively monitors the system for harmonic distortions caused by the non-linear load. The DSTATCOM, situated at the point of coupling, plays a dual role in mitigating harmonics from both the non-linear load and the introduced wind turbine system. Adjust compensating currents to address harmonics generated by the combined effect of the non-linear load and the wind turbine system. Bi- Directional Battery Converter enables the storage of excess energy generated by the WECS system and facilitates the release of stored energy back into the load when required. The DSTATCOM, in conjunction with a Proportional- Integral (PI) controller, rectifies the wind system, effectively reducing harmonics. The PI controller plays a crucial role in maintaining a constant DC link capacitance, addressing harmonics, voltage stability issues in the wind system, ultimately contributing to enhanced electrical power quality. Simultaneously, the system optimizes the utilization of renewable energy sources, ensuring sustainable and environmentally friendly power generation. At last this project is implemented and results are verified in Matlab simulation 2021a.},
