Impedance Model-Based SSR Analysis for TCSC Compensated

Type-3 Wind Energy Delivery Systems

Abstract:
This project employs impedance model-based frequency domain analysis to detect
subsynchronous resonances (SSRs) in Type-3 wind farms with thyristor-controlled series
capacitor (TCSC). The contributions of this paper are 1) the derivation of dynamic phasor-based
TCSC impedance model and 2) the application of such an impedance model in Type-3 wind
energy systems for SSR analysis. Impedance models for TCSC with constant firing angle control
and impedance control are derived in this paper. With the derived impedance models, Nyquist
stability criterion is applied to compare SSR stability in Type-3 wind farm with TCSC or with
fixed capacitor compensation. This paper employs analytical models to demonstrate TCSCs
capability in avoiding SSR in Type-3 wind generator interconnection systems.

Existing method:
The utility industry has been concerned with subsynchronous resonance (SSR) issues in Type-3
wind generator with series-compensated network \ Impedance modeling also provides a modular
approach. We can develop an impedance model for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and
an impedance model for a transmission line. To examine the impact of line parameters on SSR,
we only need to concern the line impedance model. Therefore, impedance modeling approach
can provide insights into investigation of resonance stability.

Proposed method:
It has been claimed in the literature that TCSC is neutral to SSR. In addition, Varma et al. have
published experimental results to demonstrate that TCSC can successfully suppress SSR in Type1 wind generator systems. The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretic explanation to show
why TCSC has such capability. The approach we adopt is frequency domain impedance
modeling and analysis.
