Analysis and mitigation of subsynchronous resonance based on integral control for DFIG‐based wind farm

Abstract

Series capacitor compensation technology has been widely used in long-distance wind power transmission, which can improve the power transmission capacity and enhance the static stability of the power system. However, adding a series capacitor in the line may present a potential risk of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) to the system. This study focuses on the SSR caused by induction generator effect of the doubly-fed induction generator-based wind farms. The SSR phenomenon of wind power system is researched by the impedance analysis method. A mitigation strategy of adding a virtual inductance based on integral control is proposed for enhancing the system stability and alleviating the SSR. It has clear and intuitive physical concept, which is beneficial to system integration and provides a simpler and more economic method for mitigating SSR. Moreover, the principle and process of controller design are elaborated. Moreover, the time-domain simulation is carried out to prove the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy under different operating conditions considering various compensation levels and wind speeds. Finally, the suppression effects of the virtual inductance in rotor-side converter and grid-side converter are compared.
