Abstract

Full converter-based wind power generation (FCWG, e.g., a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)), though normally considered to be decoupled from the external power grid can be actuated as an inertia source to suppress modal resonance in wind generation penetrated power systems by installing auxiliary resonance controllers (ARCs). In this paper, three possible options for ARC installation are first identified based on some derivations of the conventional control model of FCWG. The damping support mechanism of ARC is revealed, a suitable and generic configuration structure of ARC is then established, and optimal parameter tuning is conducted on the basis of this ARC configuration. The three ARC alternatives are equipped to contribute to damping by utilizing the potential energy and dynamics hidden in different inertia source components (i.e., the wind turbine rotor and DC capacitor, respectively) of FCWG. Both modal analysis and simulation results validate the effectiveness of the three proposed ARCs in suppressing modal resonance and improving system oscillation stability. Most importantly, extensive comparison investigations are carried out to fully evaluate the pros and cons of the three ARCs and thus provide constructive application guidance for system operators and wind farm owners.
