Power oscillation damping regulator for voltage source converter of renewable generation units

https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2023.11.165-180

Abstract

   Nowadays, renewable energy sources (RES) are an integral part of electric power systems (EPS) development programmes. It has been established that RES-based generation units use voltage source converter (VSC) for energy conversion. On the one hand, the use of VSC provides certain advantages (possibility of operation in all quadrants of the PQ-diagram, possibility to connect RES to a weak grid). On the other hand, widespread use of RES with the use of VSC reduces the overall inertia of EPS, which increases the probability of undesirable undamped power oscillations that reduce the stability of EPS operation. To ensure reliable operation of EPS with RES with VSC, it is necessary to modernise the automatic control system of VSC taking into account the requirements for conventional generation as part of EPS. This paper presents the results of application of the power oscillation damping regulator implemented in the VSC, which improves the stability of EPS.
