Mechanism and Mitigation Strategy of Sub-synchronous Oscillation Caused by Grid-connected DFIG with Series Compensation
Abstract Power systems are at risk of sub-synchronous oscillation (SSO) when connecting doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines to transmission lines with series compensation. This paper focuses on the mechanism and mitigation strategy of SSO. Firstly, the mechanism of SSO is studied from two aspects: induction generator effect (IGE) and sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI). An equivalent circuit is developed to illustrate the negative resistance effect. Based on the result of the analysis, the SSO mitigation strategy using notch filter and virtual resistance control is proposed. In order to verify the result of analysis and the effectiveness of mitigation strategy, time-domain simulations are carried out based on PowerFactory DIgSILENT.
