Abstract

For doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms connected to flexible DC transmission system, the oscillation suppression after fault clearance proves very difficult. Addressing this problem, this paper constructs the dynamic energy model of the interconnected system, reveals the mechanism of oscillation instability after fault clearance, and designs an oscillation suppression strategy. First, by considering the dynamic characteristics of the control links in grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via voltage source converter based high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission system, the interconnected system is divided into several subsystems, and the energy model of each subsystem is constructed. Furthermore, the magnitudes and directions of different interaction energy items are quantitatively analyzed, so that the key control links that transmit and magnify the system energy can be identified. On this basis, the corresponding supplementary control links are designed to suppress the system oscillation. Finally, the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed oscillation suppression strategy are verified by hardware-in-loop tests. The results prove that the d-axis subsystem of DFIG grid-side converter (GSC) current inner loop, phase-locked loop (PLL), and q-axis subsystem of VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop are the key links that induce the oscillation to occur, and the proposed strategy shows promising results in oscillation suppression.

I. INTRODUCTION

IN recent years, voltage source converter based high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission has gradually become one of the mainstream ways to transmit the wind power generated by doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) [

1]. After a fault is cleared, the complex interaction between DFIG and VSC-HVDC may cause the oscillation, thus intimidating the stable operation of power system. Therefore, it is very important to study the mechanism of oscillation in grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system after fault clearance, and propose effective oscillation suppression strategies.

Currently, small-signal oscillation stability analysis for grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system can be mainly achieved from the modal analysis method and the impedance analysis method. The small-signal modeling method for grid-connected wind farm via VSC-HVDC transmission system has been detailed in [

2]. And based on the small-signal model of the system, the oscillation stability of the grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms has been analyzed by the modal analysis method in [3], and the influences of LCL filter, parameters of grid-side converter (GSC) controller, and other factors on the system stability have been analyzed by the eigenvalue method. Based on the small-signal model of the system, the basic principle of the impedance analysis method has been detailed in [4], and the stability criteria have been put forward. The dq-domain impedance model and the sequence impedance model have been introduced in [5], and the mechanism of instability has been revealed from the perspective of contributing negative resistance to the system. Although the above methods can realize the analysis of the system oscillation stability under small disturbances, they cannot be used to analyze the large disturbance stability of the system. The large disturbance stability can be analyzed by the equal area method, phase plane method, and energy function method. In [6]-[8], the large-disturbance stability of the grid-connected converter has been assessed by the equal area method, and it has been analyzed how phase-locked loop (PLL) parameters and critical clearing time affect the system stability. In [9]-[11], the projection theorem has been used by the phase plane method to project the high-dimensional motion equation of the system onto the low-dimensional phase plane so as to obtain the trajectory of the system, and then the large-disturbance stability of the system is assessed by analyzing the convergence of different trajectories. The energy function method mentioned in [12]-[14] judges the large-disturbance stability of the system according to the convergence of the Lyapunov energy function. The stability analysis results of the above methods are relatively conservative, and the instability mechanism cannot be revealed [15], [16]. In [17] and [18], the energy model of the system considering the control links has been built, the effect of different control parameters on the stability of system has been analyzed, and the mechanism of instability has been revealed. Hence, the energy function method is suited in revealing the instability mechanism of the system.

The existing oscillation suppression strategies for grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system primarily include control parameter optimization, additional damping controller, and control branch compensation. The parameter tuning strategy proposed in [

19] and [20] suppresses the oscillation by maximizing the damping ratio of the system at the resonance point through optimization of the control parameters. This method cannot be applied online, and the range of parameter tuning is limited. The strategies of adding supplementary damping controller proposed in [21] and [22] realize the oscillation suppression in a specific frequency band by adding a supplementary damping control device. It has a significant suppression effect, but the supplementary damping device raises the cost and complexity of the system operation, even interacting with the DC converter that causes system instability. The control branch compensation strategy designs the damping control branch on the basis of the existing control system according to the characteristics of oscillation [23], [24]. It has fast response and a wide range of regulation.

To deal with the challenges in suppressing the oscillation in grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system, a new oscillation suppression strategy is proposed in this paper. By constructing the energy model of the system and depicting the flow of dynamic energy in the system after fault clearance, the occurring and developing mechanism of the oscillation is revealed, and an oscillation suppression strategy is put forward. First, considering the dynamic characteristics of different control modules of grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system, the system is divided into several subsystems, and the energy model of each subsystem is constructed. Then, the magnitude and direction of each interaction energy are calculated, and the key control links that magnify and transmit the interaction energy are identified. Furthermore, it is revealed that the d-axis subsystem of DFIG rotor-side converter (RSC) current inner loop, PLL, and the q-axis subsystem of VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop are the key links that induce the oscillation. On this basis, the corresponding supplementary control links are designed to suppress the transmission of the oscillation energy. Finally, a simulation model of grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system is built in the RT-LAB experimental platform, on which the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed strategy are verified.

Since the DC link of the VSC-HVDC transmission system has an isolating effect, the dynamic characteristic of the DFIG-side flexible DC converter station can represent the dynamic characteristic of the whole interconnected system.

CIIRdΔuIIRqdt=-Δirq+TIIRqLIIRdΔirqdt=-RIIRΔirq+ΔuIIRq+Tirq (4)

where RIIR=Rr+Kp1,D, CIIR=1/Ki1,D, Rr is the resistance of DFIG rotor windings, and Kp1,D and Ki1,D are the proportional and integral coefficients, respectively; LIIR=σLr/1+kωk11k10/σω, kω, k10, k11, σω, and σ are all dimensionless constants, kω=ωslip/ω0-1, k10=Lm/Lr, k11=Lm/Ls, σω=1-ωslipLm2/ω0LrLs, σ=1-Lm2/LrLs, Lr, Ls, and Lm are the rotor, stator, and mutual inductances, respectively, ωslip=ω0-ωr/ω0, ωr is the rotor angular frequency, and ω0= 100π; Δird and Δirq are the d-axis and q-axis variations of DFIG rotor current, respectively; ΔuIIRd and ΔuIIRq are the d-axis and q-axis oscillation components of the output of RSC current inner loop integrators, respectively; TIIRd=cosΔθΔird*-sinΔθΔirq*, TIIRq=sinΔθΔird*+cosΔθΔirq*, Δθ is the angular difference between the power frequency coordinate system and the PLL coordinate system, and Δird* and Δirq* are the variations of the reference values of ird and irq, respectively; and Tird and Tirq are detailed in Supplementary Material A.

The mathematical model of PLL subsystem is given as:

CplldΔuIωdt=-ΔiIθ+TIωLplldΔiIθdt=ΔuIω-RpllΔiIθ+TIθ (5)

where Rpll=Kpllpusd,SEP, Cpll=1/Kplliusd,SEP, Lpll=1, Kpllp and Kplli are the proportional and integral coefficients, respectively, and usd,SEP is the steady-state value of the d-axis voltage of DFIG stator; ΔuIω and ΔiIθ are the variations of the angular velocity and angle of PLL, respectively; and TIω=Δusq/usd,SEP,TIθ=KpllpΔusq, and the expression for Δusq is detailed in Supplementary Material A.

The mathematical models of the subsystems of GSC voltage outer loop, GSC current inner loop, RSC power outer loop, VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop, and AC line are the same as those obtained in [

25] and [26], and their derivation process is not repeated in this paper.

B. Energy Model of Grid-connected DFIG-based Wind Farms via VSC-HVDC Transmission System

The mathematical models of the subsystems of grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system can be represented by the general formula in (6).

CkdΔUdt=-ΔI+TULkdΔIdt=-RkΔi+ΔU+TI (6)

where Rk, Lk, and Ck are the resistance, inductance, and capacitance, respectively; and TU and TI are the interactions between different subsystems.

According to the first integration method illustrated in [

27], integrating equation (6) along the time t can yield the energy model of the subsystem:

12CkΔU2+12LkΔI2+RkΔI2dt-TIΔI+TUΔUdt=Const (7)

where CkΔU2/2+LkΔI2/2 represents the energy stored in the equivalent capacitance and inductance of the subsystem, which is referred to as Vp in this paper; RkΔI2dt represents the energy dissipated by the equivalent resistance, which is referred to as VD in this paper; -TIΔI+TUΔUdt represents the interaction energy between the subsystems, which is referred to as VT in this paper; and Const is a constant.

The dynamic energy model of each subsystem can be obtained by applying (1)-(5) to (7), as shown in (8)-(12). The dynamic energy models of VSC-HVDC current inner loop subsystems are given as (8) and (9). The dynamic energy model of PLL subsystem is given as (10).

where k14=Lr/LM; k9 and σω2 are dimensionless constants; and Δisd and Δisq are the variations of d-axis and q-axis output currents of DFIG, respectively.

C. Analysis of Interaction Path of Oscillation Based on Dynamic Energy Flow

Based on the relationship between the stored energy and system stability [

18], when the system is disturbed, it is asymptotically stable if the stored energy VP decreases with time and eventually reaches its minimum. Meanwhile, if VP increases with time, the system will be destabilized. Therefore, the system stability can be reflected by the variation trend of VP.

From (7), the derivatives of VP, VD, and VT satisfy:

V˙P=-V˙D-V˙T (13)

It can be observed from (7) that V˙D is constantly positive, so it has negative contribution to V˙P. In other words, V˙D can help the system remain stable. When -V˙T>0, -V˙T has positive contribution to V˙P, meaning that the interaction energy will cause the system instability. When -V˙T<0, -V˙T has negative contribution to V˙P, meaning that the interaction energy will help the system remain stable. And the oscillation transmission path can be depicted by analyzing the interaction energy between different subsystems.

Assume that an oscillation with constant amplitude occurs in the grid-connected DFIG via VSC-HVDC transmission system after the fault is cleared, with the dominant oscillation component of DFIG output current being Gisejβt. Gis is the amplitude of the current variation. In this case, the oscillation components of state variables in each subsystem can be written according to (1)-(5), as shown in (14).

Δisd+jΔisq=ΔiMd+jΔiMq=GisejγtΔird+jΔirq=Girejγt+ϕirΔusq=Gussinγt+ϕusΔuIIRd+jΔuIIRq=GuIIRejγt+ϕuIIRΔuIIMd+jΔuIIMq=GuIIMejγt+ϕuIIMΔuIω=GIωcosγt+ϕIωΔiIθ=GIθcosγt+ϕIθ (14)

where Gir, Gus, GuIIR, GuIIM, GIω, GIθ and ϕir, ϕus, ϕuIIR, ϕuIIM, ϕIω, ϕIθ are the amplitudes and phases of the variations of DFIG rotor current, DFIG stator voltage, RSC inner loop integrator output, VSC-HVDC inner loop integrator output, output angular velocity of PLL, and output phase of PLL, respectively; and γ is the angular velocity of the oscillation.

By applying (14) to the energy model of each subsystem shown in (8)-(12), the expressions for different interaction energy items between different subsystems can be obtained.

1) Interaction Energy Links of d-axis Subsystem and q-axis Subsystem of VSC-HVDC Current Inner Loop: AC Line

According to the energy model of the grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system, there are four interaction energy items between the two subsystems and others, i.e., ① VT,C1w and VT,L1w, which are the interaction energies flowing from d-axis subsystem of VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop to d-axis subsystem of VSC-HVDC current inner loop on the AC line; ② VT,C2w and VT,L2w, which are the interaction energies flowing from q-axis subsystem of VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop to q-axis subsystem of VSC-HVDC current inner loop on the AC line. The expressions for V˙T,C1w,V˙T,L1w,V˙T,C2w, and V˙T,L2w are:

V˙T,C1w=GiM*GuIIM2cosϕuIIM-ϕiM*+cos2γt+ϕuIIM+ϕiM*V˙T,L1w=Kp1,VSCGiM*GiM2-cosϕiM-ϕiM*-              cos2γt+ϕiM+ϕiM*V˙T,C2w=GiM*GuIIM2cosϕuIIM-ϕiM*-cos2γt+ϕuIIM+ϕiM*V˙T,L2w=Kp1,VSCGiM*GiM2-cosϕiM-ϕiM*+             cos2γt+ϕuIIM+ϕiM* (15)

where GiM and ϕiM are the amplitude and phase variations of the VSC-HVDC converter output current, respectively; and GiM* and ϕiM* are the reference values of GiM and ϕiM, respectively. From (15), V˙T,C1w, V˙T,L1w, V˙T,C2w, and V˙T,L2w vary periodically. Therefore, the stored energy of VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop and current inner loop also varies periodically, and the oscillation will go on. Since cosϕiM*-ϕuIIM0, cosϕiM*-ϕiM0, the accumulated values of VT,C1w, VT,L1w,VT,C2w, and VT,L2w are all 0 within one oscillation period. It means that this interaction only transmits the oscillation, and will not change the stored energy of the system.

2) Interaction Energy Links of d-axis Subsystem and q-axis Subsystem of RSC Current Inner Loop: DFIG Rotor

There are eighteen interaction energy items between the two subsystems and others, i.e., ① VT,C53 and VT,C3w3 are the interaction energies flowing from RSC outer loop subsystem and PLL to the d-axis subsystem, respectively; ② VT,L23, VT,L1C3, VT,L13, VT,L53, VT,L1w3, VT,L43, and VT,L3w3 are the interaction energies flowing from PLL, VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop subsystem, VSC-HVDC current inner loop subsystems, RSC inner loop subsystem, and outer loop subsystem to the d-axis subsystem, respectively. The expressions for V˙T,C53, V˙T,C3w3, V˙T,L23, V˙T,L53, V˙T,L1w3, V˙T,L43, V˙T,L1C3, V˙T,L13, and V˙T,L3w3 are given in Supplementary Material A. Similarly, the interaction energy between the q-axis subsystem and others is also given in the Supplementary Material A.

Applying the amplitude-phase analysis method, within the sub-/super-synchronous frequency ranges, -V˙T,L13>0, and the magnitude of V˙T,L13 is far greater than the others. Similarly, -V˙T,L24<0, -V˙T,L2w4>0, and the magnitudes of V˙T,L2w4 and V˙T,L24 are far greater than the others. Thus, VT,L24, VT,L13, and VT,L2w4 are the dominant interaction energy items. The detailed analysis and derivation process are given in Supplementary Material B.

3) Interaction Energy Links of PLL

There are eight interaction energy items between state variables of PLL iIθ and other subsystems, i.e., V˙T,θ25, V˙T,θ2C5, V˙T,θ2w5, VT,θ15, V˙T,θ45, V˙T,θ4C5, VT,θ4w5, and V˙T,θ35, which are the interaction energies flowing from VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop subsystems, VSC-HVDC current inner loop subsystems, RSC outer loop subsystems, and RSC current inner loop subsystems to PLL. Similarly, there are also eight interaction energy items between state variable of PLL uIω and other subsystems, as shown in (9).

According to the amplitude-phase analysis method, within the sub-/super-synchronous frequency ranges, V˙T,θ35, V˙T,w25, V˙T,w4w5, V˙T,w2w5, and V˙T,w45 are far greater than the others, and -V˙T,w4w5<0, -V˙T,w2w5>0, -V˙T,w45>0, -V˙T,w25<0, -V˙T,θ35>0. Thus, VT,θ35, VT,w25, VT,w2w5, VT,w4w5, and VT,w45 are the dominant interaction energy items in the above interaction energy items. The detailed analysis and derivation process can be found in Supplementary Material C.

D. Analysis of System Oscillation Stability Based on Dynamic Energy Flow

Based on the analysis in previous subsections, the oscillation interaction path of the grid-connected DFIG via VSC-HVDC transmission system can be depicted, as shown in Fig. 2. According to (13), when the derivative of the sum of the interaction energies between different subsystems -V˙T,s>0, the stored energy of the system is increasing with time, and the system is unstable. Similarly, when -V˙T,s<0, the stored energy of the system decreases with time, and the system remains stable.

Fig. 2  Interaction path of oscillation in interconnected system.

The interaction energies -VT,L13, -VT,L2w4, VT,θ35, -VT,w2w5, and -VT,w45 are all positive values increasing with time, while -VT,w25, -VT,L24, and -VT,w4w5 are the negative values decreasing with time, and the sum of the above interaction energies is greater than 0 and increases with time. So, the stored energy of the system is increasing, and the system is unstable.

In Fig. 2, the interaction paths between different subsystems are marked in different colors, where the energy links in red indicate that the energy flows are not conducive to the system stability, while the energy links in blue indicate that the energy flows are conducive to the system stability. In addition, it can be observed from Fig. 2 that PLL is the main cause of system oscillation.

III. OSCILLATION SUPPRESSION STRATEGY

Based on the influences of different interaction energy links on the system stability, the interaction links can be classified into “transmitting links”, “gaining links”, and “damping links”. Then, the key interaction links that induce the oscillation can be located. On this basis, corresponding compensation branches can be designed to suppress the oscillation.

A. RSC Phase Compensation Branch

After fault clearance, the oscillation in the grid-connected DFIG via VSC-HVDC transmission system is induced by the energy interaction between q-axis subsystem of RSC current inner loop and PLL, and the key interaction energy links are -V˙T,L89=k10/σωKpllpRr+KirpΔirqΔuIω, -V˙T,L98=Kp1,DΔird*ΔirqΔθ, where Δθ=ΔiIθ. By adding two phase compensation branches to these dominant interaction links, the transmission of oscillation energy between RSC and PLL can be suppressed, as shown in Fig. 3.

Fig. 3  Supplementary control links for oscillation suppression.

After adding the phase compensation branch, the reference value vector of RSC inner loop moves an angle of -Δθ in the forward direction. This compensates for the difference between the reference value and measured value of the current resulting from the output deviation of PLL phase angle. The interaction energies of d-axis subsystem and q-axis subsystem of RSC current inner loop after the phase compensation are shown in (16) and (17), respectively.

-dVT2,IRddt=Tir2dΔird+TIIR2dΔuIIRd=Δird*ΔuIIRd+σωkωk10k11+σωkωk11ω0Ls+ω0-ωslipLmΔisqΔird-kωk11ω0-ωslipLmσω-ωslipσω2LrΔirqΔird+kωk10k11+σωKp1,DσωΔird*Δird-kω+σωk11Rsσω-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔisdΔird+kωk9k11σσωΔuIIMdΔird-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔiMd*Δird (16)
-dVT2,IRqdt=Tir2qΔirq+TIIR2qΔuIIRq=Δirq*ΔuIIRq+σωkωk10k11+σωkωk11ω0-ωslipLmσω-ωslipσω2LrΔirdΔirq+kωk10k11+σωKp1,DσωΔirq*Δirq-kω+σωk11Rsσω-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔisqΔirq-ω0kωk11Ls+ω0-ωslipLmΔisdΔirq+kωk9k11σσωΔuIIMqΔirq-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔiMq*Δirq (17)

Comparing (10), (11), (16), and (17), after the phase compensation, the interaction energies flowing from PLL to RSC current inner loop subsystems disappear. It means that the energy transmission between these subsystems can be blocked by the phase compensation branches.

When the system operates in normal state, Δθ=0; thus, ird*cos0+irq*sin0=ird*, irq*cos0-ird*sin0=irq*, and the equations for RSC current inner loop will be those shown in (3) and (4). Therefore, the phase compensation branches will not affect the control performance of the system in normal operation state.

B. RSC Supplementary Damping Control Branch

Based on the above analysis, the subsystem of d-axis RSC current inner loop is the oscillation source and the key link that transmits oscillation energy to the output current of the wind farm. By increasing the dissipation energy of this subsystem, the cyclic process of gaining and transmitting oscillation energy can be effectively suppressed. After the supplementary damping branch is added, the control strategy of RSC inner loop becomes:

σωσLrkωk10k11+σωdΔirddt=-Rr+Kp1,DΔird-Rk2Δird+ΔuIIRd+σωkωk10k11+σωkωk9k11σσωΔuIIMd-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔiMd*-kωk11ω0-ωslipLmσω-σω2ωslipLrΔirq+kωk10k11+σωKp1,DσωΔird*cosΔθ-Δirq*sinΔθ-kω+σωk11Rs-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔisd+kωk11ω0Ls+ω0-ωslipLmΔisq (18)
σωσLrkωk10k11+σωdΔirqdt=-Rr+Kp1,DΔirq-Rk2Δirq+ΔuIIRq+σωσω+kωk10k11kωk9k11σσωΔuIIMq-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔiMq*+kωk11ω0-ωslipLmσω-σω2ωslipLrΔird+kωk10k11+σωKp1,DσωΔird*sinΔθ+Δirq*cosΔθ-kω+σωk11Rs-Kp1,VSCkωk9k11σσωΔisq-kωk11ω0Ls+ω0-ωslipLmΔisd (19)

where Rk2 is the control parameter for the supplementary damping control branch, and the value of Rk2 is 0.5.

The dissipation energy of the subsystem becomes:

dVD2,IIRddt=VD2,IIRd+ΔVD2,IIRd,k2=RIIRΔird2dt+Rk2Δird2dt (20)
dVD2,IIRqdt=VD2,IIRq+ΔVD2,IIRq,k2=RIIRΔirq2dt+Rk2Δirq2dt (21)

As can be observed from (20) and (21), a positive increment is added to the dissipation energy of the RSC current inner loop subsystems after the supplementary damping control branch is added. Since the energy dissipation intensity of the subsystem increases, the energy dissipation intensity of the whole system also increases.

When the system operates in the steady state, the deviation of rotor current from the equilibrium point will be 0, and the supplementary damping control branch -Rk2Δird will be 0. Therefore, the supplementary damping control branch will not affect the system control performance in the normal operation state.

In the above experiment system, a three-phase ground fault is set to occur at t=10.1 s, then the system switches to the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) state. After 100 ms, the fault is cleared, and then the system topology returns to normal. The flexible DC converter returns to the constant voltage constant frequency control, and DFIG returns to the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control.

A. Verification of Effectiveness of Proposed Strategy

In the above three-phase ground fault scenario, the simulation results of DFIG output current, output active power, and voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) are shown in Fig. 5.

According to Fig. 5, the oscillation in grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system diverges after the fault is cleared. The simulation results of the interaction energy in Fig. 2 are obtained, as shown in Fig. 6.

From Fig. 6(a)-(e), the magnitudes of -VT,L13, -VT,L2w4, -VT,w45, -VT,w2w5, and -VT,θ35 all increase with time after fault clearance, which causes the oscillation to diverge. From Fig. 6(f)-(h), it can be observed that the magnitudes of interaction energy items -VT,L24, -VT,w25, and -VT,w4w5 all decrease with time, which is conducive to the stable operation of the system. And the magnitudes of -VT,L13, -VT,L2w4, -VT,θ35, and -VT,L24 are much larger than those of the others. Among them, -VT,θ35 is the key factor leading to system instability.

When the proposed oscillation suppression strategy is applied 1.5 s after the fault is cleared, the simulation results of DFIG output current and active power and the voltage at PCC are shown in Fig. 7. The results in Fig. 7 prove that the proposed strategy can quickly suppress the diverging oscillation. Besides, the simulation results of the interaction energy in Fig. 2 are shown in Fig. 8, after the application of the proposed strategy.

It can be observed from Fig. 8 that after the proposed oscillation suppression strategy is applied, -VT,L13, -VT,L2w4, -VT,w45, -VT,w2w5, and -VT,θ35, which increase with time, rapidly reach the steady-state value. Similarly, -VT,L24, -VT,w25, and -VT,w4w5 also quickly reach the steady-state value. According to Fig. 7, after the application of the proposed strategy, the system returns to stable operation. And before the application of the proposed strategy, the total interaction energy of the system increases with time, finally causing the system instability, as shown in Fig. 9(a). After the proposed strategy is used, the total interaction energy of the system quickly reaches a steady-state value, so the system returns to stable operation, as shown in Fig. 9(b).

Based on the simulation results in Figs. 6-8, the changing trends of the interaction energy links in grid-connected DFIG via VSC-HVDC transmission system conform to the theoretical analysis in Section II. Thus, the theoretical analysis is proven correct.

B. Verification of Performance of Proposed Strategy in Different Fault Scenarios

To verify the performance of the proposed strategy in different fault scenarios, the following simulation scenarios are set up.

1) Scenario 1: a single-phase ground fault occurs at t=10.1 s. After 100 ms, the fault is cleared. And the proposed strategy is applied at t=12.0 s.

2) Scenario 2: a two-phase ground fault occurs at t=10.1 s. After 100 ms, the fault is cleared. And the proposed strategy is applied at t=12.0 s.

3) Scenario 3: a two-phase fault occurs at t=10.1 s. After 100 ms, the fault is cleared. And the proposed strategy is applied at t=12.0 s.

The simulation results of DFIG output current and active power in scenarios 1-3 are shown in Figs. 10-12, respectively. From Figs. 10-12, the system oscillation in different scenarios can be suppressed quickly and smoothly by using the proposed oscillation suppression strategy in this paper. Therefore, it can be applied in different scenarios.

C. Effectiveness Comparison with Existing Strategy

The oscillation suppression effectiveness of the proposed strategy has been compared with that of the stability enhancement strategy based on parameter optimization in [

28].

In the comparison test, a three-phase grounding fault is set to occur at t=10.1 s, and the fault lasts for 100 ms. The simulation results of DFIG output current and output active power are shown in Fig. 13. The system control parameters adjust to those given in Table II at t=11.7 s.

V. CONCLUSION

An oscillation stability analysis suitable for the grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system is conducted, and an oscillation suppression strategy is proposed for the system after fault clearance. Based on the mathematical models of DFIG and VSC-HVDC, the dynamic energy model of the interconnected system is constructed. By analyzing the influence of each interaction energy item on the system stability, the mechanism of oscillation instability is revealed, and an oscillation suppression strategy is put forward. The main conclusions are as follows.

1) In grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system, the energy flows will be redistributed when a fault occurs and after the fault is cleared. After fault clearance, the d-axis subsystem of GSC current inner loop, PLL, and q-axis subsystem of VSC-HVDC voltage outer loop are the key factors that induce the oscillation.

2) The phase compensation branches can effectively reduce the interaction energy between PLL and the subsystem of d-axis RSC current inner loop, which is conducive to the system stability. The supplementary damping control branch can increase the dissipation energy of RSC current inner loop subsystems, thus effectively suppressing the transmission of the oscillation energy.

3) The proposed strategy can quickly suppress diverging oscillations in the grid-connected DFIG-based wind farms via VSC-HVDC transmission system. It can help ensure the stable operation without affecting the control performance of the system in normal operation states.
