Background:
In a hybrid multi-infeed direct current (HMIDC) system, the interaction between the AC and DC
systems will have an influence on the damping characteristics of the system, while a doubly-fed induction generator
(DFIG) -based wind turbine connected to the grid complicates the coupling between AC and DC.
Objective:
Based on the basic principles of wind power generation and low-frequency oscillation (LFO), a DFIG -based
wind turbine is respectively connected to the LCC-HVDC side and VSC-HVSC side of an HMIDC system to study the
influence of the oscillation mode on a hybrid system with different wind power access locations, and two kinds of
additional DC damping controllers are designed to suppress the LFO. Comparing the effects of different additional DC
damping controllers on the suppression of the LFO in the system.
Methods:
First, the total least squares- estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (TLS-ESPRIT)
is used to obtain the system’s oscillation mode. Second, the transfer function is determined by the Butterworth bandpass
filter. Third, the LCC-HVDC and VSC-HVDC additional damping controllers are designed based on the H2/H∞ hybrid
control theory.
Results:
The designed additional DC damping controller has a good suppression effect on LFO in the HMIDC system and
can meet the system damping deficit. The effect of the LCC-HVDC additional damping controller is better than that of
VSC-HVDC.
Conclusion:
Through a simulation analysis on PSCAD/EMTDC simulation software, the effectiveness of the designed
additional DC damping controller is verified.
