Subsynchronous oscillation, caused by the interaction between the rotor side converter (RSC) control of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and series-compensated transmission line, is an alleged subsynchronous control interaction (SSCI). SSCI can cause DFIGs to go offline and crowbar circuit breakdown, and then deteriorate power system stability. This paper proposes a novel adaptive super-twisting sliding mode SSCI mitigation method for series-compensated DFIG-based wind power systems. Rotor currents were constrained to track the reference values which are determined by maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and reactive power demand. Super-twisting control laws were designed to generate RSC control signals. True adaptive and non-overestimated control gains were conceived with the aid of barrier function, without need of upper bound of uncertainty derivatives. Stability proof of the studied closed-loop power system was demonstrated in detail with the help of the Lyapunov method. Time-domain simulation for 100 MW aggregated DFIG wind farm was executed on MATLAB/Simulink platform. Some comparative simulation results with conventional PI control, partial feedback linearization control, and first-order sliding mode were also obtained, which verify the validity, robustness, and superiority of the proposed control strategy.

Increasing penetration level of wind power integration has a significant impact on low-frequency oscillations of power systems. Based on PSD-BPA simulation software, time domain simulation analysis and eigenvalue analysis are employed to investigate its effect on power system low-frequency oscillation characteristic in an outward transmitting thermal generated power bundled with wind power illustrative power system. System damping enhances markedly and the risk of low-frequency oscillation reduce when the generation of wind farm increase. In addition, dynamic reactive power compensations apply to wind farm, and the simulation result indicates that it can improve dynamic stability and enhance the system damping.

With the background of large-scale wind power integration grid, in order to reduce wind farm voltage fluctuation and the grid loss, through the scenario analysis method, the objective function model was established to determine the best SVCs compensation capacity and compensation point. Firstly, the initial operation states of the wind power systems were obtained by the Monte Carlo sampling and power flow was calculated to get the reactive power compensation point and its capacity. Then the result of optimization model was calculated by the improved genetic algorithm. IEEE 30 system was taken as an example for the simulation calculation and the calculation results verify the validity of the model.

Squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG), as its structural and economic advantages, has been widely utilized in large wind farms in China. However, the large wind farm composed of induction generators will cause obvious problems to the power system stability due to the dependency on reactive power. At the same time, Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), as a new type of wind turbine generator, has excellent dynamic characteristics for operation of wind farms. With the increase in penetration of wind power in power systems, more and more wind farms will use both SCIG and DFIG. In this case, the dynamic characteristic of wind farm on power systems is becoming an important issue especially in terms of the voltage stability. This article is to show by means of simulations the dynamic performance of wind farm linked to power system under the circumstances of network disturbances. Furthermore, the interaction between the SCIGs and DFIGs has also been investigated. A detailed model of wind farms is presented through the plat root of MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results demonstrate that the DFIG applications will largely improve the dynamic performance of wind farm in certain conditions, if the DFIGs could be applied reasonably, the voltage stability of the wind farm will be largely improved and even low voltage ride through(LVRT) characteristic of SCIGs, which may be a good solution to reduce the high dependence of costly reactive power compensation equipment(Some flexible AC transmission systems devices like SVC, STATCOM) to some extent.

The induction generators (IGs) are basic to wind energy conversion. They produce the active power and consume the reactive power, with the voltage characteristics fragile compared with that of the synchronous generators and doubly-fed IGs. In the stressed system states, they may intensify var imbalance, yielding undesirable operation of zone 3 impedance relays.In this paper, the operation characteristics of the zone 3 relays in the wind power systems is studied. With the theoretical and load flow analysis, it is proved that the equivalent impedance of the IGs lies in the 2nd quadrature, possibly seen as the backward faults by the mho relays, i.e. the apparent impedance enters into the protection region from the left side. The undesirable operation may be caused by more wind power, larger load, less var compensation, and larger torque angle.

AbstractWind power is a major contributor in the renewable energy sector but it faces some issues regarding modern grid-code compliance. Popular wind power systems based on Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) need additional protection under grid voltage disturbances. They also need to support the grid voltage under such transient occurrences. This paper presents a novel performance enhancement scheme for DFIGs subjected to symmetrical and asymmetrical voltage sags and swells at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The scheme comprises a protection system and a reactive power management system working simultaneously under the command of a supervisory control system. The protection system protects the DFIG converter by limiting the overcurrent in the Rotor Side Converter (RSC) of the DFIG and keeping the dc-link capacitor voltage within an acceptable range; whereas, the reactive power management supports the grid voltage by either injecting or absorbing reactive power to reduce the magnitude of voltage sags and swells. It is found that the performance of the DFIG wind generation system improves significantly under the proposed scheme. A grid-connected 9-MW DFIG wind farm is used for simulation in MATLAB/Simscape Power Systems.

In this paper, starting from the active network loss formulas and wind characteristics, it is pointed out the reactive power loss and reactive flow is the major impact of wind power integration on power system loss. The reactive power loss formulas of box-type transformer, main step-up transformer, wind farm collector line and connecting grid line are analyzed. Next the reactive power loss of transformer and transmission line is described in detail. Then put forward the loss reduction measures that installing SVC on the low voltage side of the main step-up transformer and making the doubly-fed wind generators send out some reactive power at an allowed power factor. Use the case of Gansu Qiaodong wind farm to verify the effectiveness of the proposed measures.
