Summary
This work demonstrates the impact and robust coordination control among the Doubly Induction Generator (DFIG) and Synchronous Generators (SGs) with Power Oscillation Damping (POD), Power System Stabilizer (PSS),and STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM) on the critical Low‐Frequency Oscillations (LFOs). These modes occurred due to system uncertainty, which leads to power flow interruption and experiences instability. It is mitigated by the proposed location and optimal coordinated optimized gain parameters of the controller. The locations are determined using the deterministic method and power flow sensitivity analysis (PSS and STATCOM). The objective function for the Genetic Algorithm (GA) is chosen as the real part and damping ratio of eigenvalue deviation of rotor speed. The small‐signal stability is assessed by using eigenvalue analysis via linearization of a nonlinear system. The transient stability is performed through time‐domain simulation by creating a three‐phase fault. Both analyses are examined with and without POD, PSS, and STATCOM and their combination by substituting SG with the same capacity of Wind Farm (WF). It is also indicated that a combination of POD, PSS, and STATCOM enhances system stability. It is also observed that the WF could not significantly involve in the modes of oscillation alike to the SG but provides the damping and beneficial toward the stability. GA and optimal location improve the system damping characteristics over a wide range of system uncertainty. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approaches are verified by considering a two‐area modified test system.
Highlights
This work demonstrates the impact and robust coordination control among the DFIG and SGs with POD, PSS and STATCOM on the critical LFOs caused by the intermittent nature of wind power.
The locations are determined using the deterministic method and power flow sensitivity analysis (PSS and STATCOM). The objective function for the GA is chosen as the real part and damping ratio of eigenvalue and rotor speed deviation.
The obtained results show enhancement in system stability.
