    Robust power oscillation damper design for DFIG-based wind turbine
    (2013-09-02) ; ;
    Nakawiro, Worawat
    A new robust power oscillation damper (POD) design for a doubly fed induction generator based- wind turbine is proposed in this paper. The POD structure is specified by the second-order lead/lag compensator with single input signal. The parameters optimization of POD is formulated based on a mixed H<inf>2</inf>/H<inf>∞</inf> control using linear matrix inequalities. The POD parameters are optimized by the firefly algorithm so that the damping performance against system disturbances and the robustness under system uncertainties are satisfied. Simulation results in a single machine infinite bus confirm the superior robustness of the proposed POD over the conventional POD. © 2013 IEEE.

    Transient stabilization of power swing by controllable PV farm equipped with optimal fuzzy gain scheduling of PID controller
    (2014-10-15)

    ;
    The severe faults in power systems may cause the power swing and transient instability. On the other hand, recently, the large photovoltaic (PV) farms have been extensively installed in power systems. With the ability of PV inverter, it is possible to control the PV output power quickly to stabilize the power swing. This paper proposes an optimal fuzzy gain scheduling of PID (FGS-PID) controller equipped with the PV inverter for stabilization of power swing. Without trial and error, the scale factors, membership functions and control rules of the FGS-PID controller are automatically obtained by a bee colony optimization. Simulation study in a single machine infinite bus system confirms the superior stabilizing effect of the PV with proposed FGS-PID in comparison to the PV with MPPT and the PV with PID.

    Wide area robust centralized power oscillation dampers design for DFIG-based wind turbines
    Inter-area oscillations are associated with machines in one part of the system oscillating against machines in other parts of the system. They are caused by two or more groups of machines that are interconnected by weak ties. To damp out the inter-area oscillations, this paper proposes the new application of wide area stability control for robust centralized power oscillation dampers (PODs) design of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines. The POD with 2<sup>nd</sup>-order lead/lag compensator structure for each DFIG wind turbine is located at the control center. To stabilize the target inter-area mode effectively, the geometric measures of controllability and observability are used to choose the suitable DFIG wind turbine for stabilizing the target oscillation mode, the proper input signal of POD, and the location of phasor measurement units (PMUs). The input signal of each POD is obtained from PMU while the output signal is transmitted to the rotor side converter voltage controller of DFIG. As a result, the reactive power output of DFIG can be modulated to damp out inter-area oscillations. In the POD parameters optimization, the wide range of power output levels of DFIGs and synchronous generators, time delays due to wide area communication, and unstructured system uncertainties model are taken into account so that the damping of inter-area modes and the system robust stability margin against uncertainties can be guaranteed. Solving the problem by the firefly algorithm automatically, the optimal parameters of PODs can be achieved. The stabilizing performance and robustness of the proposed robust centralized POD are evaluated in the IEEE New England 39 bus system by eigenvalue analyses and nonlinear simulation in scenarios with severe short circuits, N-1 outage contingencies, heavy power flows, and line tripping.

    Coordinated control of DFIG wind turbine and SVC for robust power system stabilization
    (2015-08-17)
    Uong, Sothy
    ;
    In this paper, a coordinated control of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine and static var compensator (SVC) is proposed for the robust stabilization of interconnected power system. By modulating the reactive power output of DFIG and SVC, the power oscillation can be damped. To implement this control, the power oscillation damper (POD) with the 2<sup>nd</sup>-order lead-lag compensator is added to the voltage controller of DFIG and SVC. The mixed H<inf>2</inf>/H<inf>∞</inf> control method is adopted to formulate the parameters optimization problem of POD. Solving the problem by an improved backtracking search algorithm (BSA), the optimal parameters of POD can be achieved. Simulation results in the two-area four-machine power system confirm the robustness and damping effect of the proposed coordinated control.

    In this paper, the robust control design of pitch controller for frequency control in a hybrid wind-diesel power generation system is proposed. The structure of the pitch controller is a 1<sup>st</sup>-order lead-lag compensator. To take system uncertainties into account, the coprime factorization is applied in system modeling. To obtain the controller parameters, the performance and stability conditions of H<inf>∞</inf> loop shaping technique are used to formulate the optimization problem. The genetic algorithm is employed to solve the problem. Simulation studies show the frequency control effect and robustness of the proposed controller against system uncertainties in comparison with a variable structure pitch control. ©2008 IEEE.

    A photovoltaic generator with superconducting coil for subsynchronous resonance damping
    (2018-12-04)
    The critical problem of the series capacitor compensation is the subsynchronous resonance (SSR) which causes the torsional oscillation in the generator-turbine system. To damp the oscillation, this paper focuses on an application of superconducting coil (SC) embedded into the photovoltaic (PV) generator. The DC chopper is used to interface the SC with the DC side of the PV inverter. The SSR damping controller is added to the active power control loop of the PV inverter. As a result, the stored energy in the SC can be suitably controlled so that the active power output of PV can be adjusted to damp out the torsional oscillation. Study results confirm the SSR stabilizing effect of the PV with internal SC.

    It is well known that the power system stabilizer (PSS) which is designed at one operating point cannot guarantee the stabilizing effect of PSS over a wide range of operating conditions. To achieve the PSS with high stabilizing performance against various conditions, this paper focuses on the new parameters optimization of PSS by the probability method. The PSS structure is the practical 2<sup>nd</sup>-order lead-lag compensator with the local input signal. The optimal tuning of PSS parameters is carried out under random operating conditions generated by Monte Carlo method so that the probability of the occurrence of desired damping ratio for target oscillation modes are maximized. The particle swarm optimization is used to solve for optimal PSS parameters. Study results in the IEEE-39 bus New England system confirm that the proposed PSS yields better damping effect than the conventional PSS under various operating conditions and severe faults.

    Adaptive Output Power Smoothing of Grid-Connected Hybrid Wind-Photovoltaic by SMES
    (2020-10-16)
    Pahasa, Jonglak
    ;
    This paper proposes an adaptive output power control of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) to solve the output power fluctuation problem of the grid connected hybrid permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) wind and photovoltaic generations (HWPV). By the power control of SMES, the adaptive output power reference is employed to achieve the desired output power of the HWPV while the variation of SMES coil current is regulated between the minimum and maximum limits. Study result shows that the proposed adaptive power control of SMES is able to alleviate the HWPV output power fluctuation, and maintain the SMES coil current in the acceptable range effectively.

    The status of Thailand power system in northern, central and southern areas are monitored and collected by using multiple synchronized Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). An analysis result of oscillation characteristics shows clearly that the power oscillation is observable at a frequency around 0.5Hz between central and southern areas. The power system stability is analyzed by determining eigenvalue from phase difference between central and southern areas. In this paper, the eigen-characteristics estimated from the PMU data in the steady state fluctuations have been confirmed by comparing the transient behaviour when a large disturbance occurred in the power system. Accordingly, methods of estimating eigenvalues from system data were examined. As a result, transitions of the stability could be estimated systematically using proposed methods.

    Active power modulation control of hybrid PV generator-battery for power swing stabilization
    (2016-09-06)
    Pothisoonthorn, Sukanya
    ;
    This paper proposes the active power modulation control scheme of the hybrid photovoltaic (PV) generator and battery for power swing stabilization. The battery which is connected to the DC link of the PV generator, is used to smooth the output power fluctuation of the PV generator during normal operation. During faults, the stored energy of battery can be used for the active power output modulation control of the PV generator to stabilize the power swing. By equipping the power oscillation damper (POD) at the active power controller of the PV inverter, the active power output can be modulated to damp the power swing. The POD structure is a practical second-order lead/lag compensator with single input signal. Simulation study confirms the stabilizing effect of the PV with POD.
