Understanding the Origin of SSR in Series-Compensated DFIG-Based Wind Farms: Analysis Techniques and Tuning

This paper is dedicated to presenting control-tuning methodologies for the rotor-side converter (RSC) and grid-side converter (GSC) of series-compensated DFIG-based wind farms (WF) and to determining the origin of subsynchronous resonance (SSR). Unlike conventional approaches to re-tuning controller...

description This paper is dedicated to presenting control-tuning methodologies for the rotor-side converter (RSC) and grid-side converter (GSC) of series-compensated DFIG-based wind farms (WF) and to determining the origin of subsynchronous resonance (SSR). Unlike conventional approaches to re-tuning controller gains to achieve desirable performance, these methodologies only consider the mathematical models of the states variables to be controlled. A PI cascade topology is used to control the RSC and GSC. An inner loop is required for current control and an outer loop for voltage control. Special consideration is taken for tuning the RSC because this converter is coupled with the mechanical variables as mechanical rotor speed of the DFIG. Compared with standard tuning, a better system behavior during a resonance condition is achieved with the proposed tuning methodology. Regarding the analysis of the SSR origin, the modal impedance (MI) technique is used as a tool to study SSR issues; its advantages compared to the driving point impedance technique are highlighted. In this context, the small-signal-stability (SSS) analysis is performed to evaluate the overall system. With the combination of MI and SSS, the phenomena of induction generator effect, torque interaction, and torque amplification are analyzed. As a result, the modes involved in the SSR phenomenon are identified and a discrimination procedure is described to determine the origin of the SSR.
