Abstract

Renewable energy integration causes intermittency, nonlinear dynamics, and grid-code restrictions in modern power systems. Although hybrid renewable energy systems combining wind, photovoltaic, and fuel cell sources increase energy availability, conventional control approaches often fail to maintain voltage stability, power quality, and rapid fault recovery under varying operating conditions. High renewable penetration and noisy conditions worsen these concerns. Existing methods typically address voltage regulation, transient stability, fault resilience, and power sharing independently using fixed or offline-tuned controllers, limiting adaptability during grid disturbances. To overcome these challenges, this study proposes an AI-enhanced STATCOM-controlled hybrid renewable energy system with learning-based control, predictive stability assessment, and multi-agent coordination. Adaptive reactive power support, noise-resilient fault detection, renewable source power sharing, predictive voltage regulation, and physiologically inspired transient stability prediction using hierarchical reinforcement learning. The simulation results maintain system voltage deviation within ±2%, harmonic distortion below 2%, fault detection within 7 ms, and transient stability prediction accuracy above 98% across varied operating conditions. Voltage recovery, overshoot suppression, and resource utilization efficiency improve above benchmark techniques. Thus, findings demonstrate that AI- enhanced STATCOM works as cognitive grid-interfacing agents rather than passive compensators for improving stability, power quality, and operational resilience in various deployment settings.
