Abstract

A nonlinear damping controller using partial feedback linearization (PFL) technique is designed with an aim to mitigate subsynchronous resonance (SSR) in series-compensated doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms, which is integrated to simplified Nordic power system. The controller using PFL technique is implementable into a partially linearized form of a system with DFIG wind farm that results in reduced system order and small computational burden. The derivation of control law does not also demand thorough knowledge of nonlinear and ambiguous system dynamics. The proposed controller design approach has four distinguished steps: (i) scrutinizing partial linearizability, (ii) performing partial linearization, (iii) assessing stability of internal system dynamics, and (iv) obtaining control laws. Small-signal stability analysis is performed that includes electrical damping analysis and eigenvalue analysis. The controller is found to demonstrate a superior performance in SSR mitigation. Time-series simulation is carried out to confirm the veracity of the outcomes obtained from the small-signal stability analysis.
