A Dynamic Equivalent Method for PMSG-WTG Based Wind Farms Considering Wind Speeds and Fault Severities

Abstract

The dynamic security assessment of power systems needs to scan contingencies in a preselected set through time-domain simulations. With more and more wind power generation integrated into power systems, the complexity of simulation will increase greatly if wind farms are modeled in detail. Thus, it is critical to develop dynamic equivalent methods for wind farms. The dynamic response characteristics of permanent magnet synchronous generator-wind turbine generators (PMSG-WTGs) are not only influenced by their control strategies, but also by the operating wind speeds and the fault severities. Thus, this paper proposes a dynamic equivalent method for a PMSG-WTG based wind farm considering the wind speeds and the fault severities. Firstly, we propose a clustering method based on the operating wind speed and the terminal voltage of each PMSG-WTG at the end of the fault. Then, a single-machine equivalent method is introduced for each cluster of PMSG-WTGs. For the cluster of PMSG-WTGs with active power ramp recovery process, an equivalent model with segmented ramp rate limitation for active current is designed. In order to obtain the clustering indicators, a simulation-based iterative method is put forward. Eventually, the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are verified by the simulation results.
