Strong resonance investigation and suppression in PMSG integrated power systems

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) with full converters have been widely used in wind power generation due to its superior flexibility and controllability. However, under some circumstance, the oscillation modes of PMSG (POMs) may excite strong resonance with the electromechanical oscillation modes (EOMs) of the power system that degrades the power system small signal stability. In this paper, A two-open-loop subsystem model is firstly derived to analyze the oscillation modes. Then the POMs are investigated with modal analysis, the relationship between POMs and related controllers are clarified. On this basis, the strong resonance between PMSG and the external power system is revealed and identified. Furthermore, a five-step parameter tuning method is proposed to relocate the position of POM as well as suppress the strong resonance. Both modal analysis and time-domain simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
