Abstract
Power electronic interfaced generation (PEIG) has become significantly dominant in the electrical power grid. This development is leading to a decrease in systemic inertia and damping against electrical oscillations. This causes the introduction of new and faster dynamic phenomena. One of these phenomena is sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI), occurring as sub-synchronous oscillations (SSOs) in the system. Several real-world events reported so far have been related with large wind power plants (WPPs) and the improper tuning of the grid side converter (GSC) of (type-4) fully rated converter (FR C) wind turbines. As other PEl G have similar topologies and control systems, it is a very relevant topic. Weak grid conditions often contribute to the risks of SSO events. This paper proposes supplementary wide-area damping (WAD) to the control system of the GSC, focused on damping excursions of the phase locked loop (PLL). Signals measured by a remote phasor measurement unit (PMU) are communicated to the control system, which uses it for dynamic damping control. The effects of the WAD are tested by comparing the results of linearization-based eigenvalue analysis with and without the addition of WAD. Supplementary analysis conducted by using time-domain simulations and Prony analysis confirm the positive effect of WAD. Numerical tests are performed in DlgSILENT PowerFactory 2023 SP2 on a modified IEEE-39 bus test system.
