Steam Turbines

Steam turbine-generator shafts aremore susceptible to torsional interactiondue mainly to the fact that they haveseveral torsional frequencies in thesubsynchronous range.

Definition of SSO, SSR, SSTI

§ SSO – Subsynchronous Oscillation

Problems related to SSO:

§ SSR – Subsynchronous Resonance:passive elements (seriescompensated lines)

§ SSTI - Subsynchronous TorsionalInteraction: active elements (powersystem controls e.g. HVDC,SVC/STACOM, high speed governor,PSS)

§ SSCI - Subsynchronous ControlInteraction: interaction between powerelectronic control systems, e.g. ofHVDC or DFIG WTG, and seriescompensated line. Purely electricalphenomenon (not related tomechanical shaft system)

Torsional stresses and fatigue

§ The increasing speed perturbations cause torsionalvibrations in the shaft structure of the generator

§ Torsional stresses and fatigue of the shaft whenthe fatigue limit of the shaft material is exceeded.

Fatigue limit: limitng value of the cyclic stress towhich shaftcan be subjected such that practically nocumulative fatigue damage.Cycles: cycle to crack initiation

§For a purely radial case SCGout is zero and thus UIF is equal to 1 times the ratio of HVDC togenerator rating (e.g. when the first generator has just been synchronized during Black Startof an AC grid via HVDC-Light link)=>UIF=1 if the generator is of the same size as the HVDC

For stable operation: + ≥ 0

≥ 0( ℎ )

§Impact of the turbine control loop (governor) is neglected, hence∆ =0

§This system is asymptotically stable as long as the Nyquistcurve for the open-loop frequency function ( ) ( )doesnot encircle the point -1

§Mechanical dynamics are passive for all frequencies:Re ( ) = ≥ 0 − 90 ≤arg ( ) ≤ 90

§A sufficient criterion for stability is that the electrical dynamicsalso are passive: −180 ≤arg ( ) ( ) ≤ 180, whichimplies that the Nyquist curve cannot encircle -1

§Thus, it’s desirable that Re ( ) = ≥ 0 for all allfrequencies

§ The mechanical damping ispositive and can compensate anegative electrical damping in acertain frequency range

§D is the electrical damping and maynot be positive for all frequencies.

§Stability can be guaranteed if ≥ 0at and in the neighbourhood of thetorsional frequencies irrespective ofof the mechanical damping.

§ Mechanical damping is independent of the networkconditions

§ If the level of electrical damping with HVDC is as good asor better than the electrical damping without HVDC, thentorsional stability is assured

§ Add SSDC, if necessary

§ Two tests were performed at site for SSTI verification in bothsides:

§ Step in current order, 0,1 pu

§ Simulated DC-line faults, with re-start of the DC-link. DC faultexecuted close to nominal power level, starting with tests atminimum and 50% power. The DC-line faults at high power werechosen in order to get enough power changes in the network toinitiate SSTI

§ Oscillations at the torsional mode frequencies were measured atthe converter stations by the SSTI supervision based on deviationin period time of the AC-voltage

Fenno-Skan 2 (SSTI verification at site)

§ Disturbance caused by the tests was to moderate to initiate anysignificant SSTI since:

§ Network configurations during the system tests were fairlystrong, and the corresponding SSDC was activated

§ The damping of the shaft contains both a mechanical part andan electrical part, where the mechanical is the most importantcomponent, and the surrounding network configurationcontributes to the electrical part

§ Conclusion from the tests:

§ The link with its SSTI regulator did not deteriorate the dampingof the torsional frequencies.

Example 4 (SSCI)

Two main issues:

§ Sub-Synchronous Control Interaction (SSCI) can occur between seriescompensated lines and the converter control system.

§ Ferroresonance oscillations can occur between series compensatedlines and the saturable magnetic core of a converter transformer.Transformer saturation occurs due to voltage recovery after a.c. faultsare cleared (Pseudo-inrush)=>inrush currents rich in harmonic contentproduce harmonic voltage amplification through the resonantimpedance of the system.

Ferroresonance

§ An oscillating phenomenon between a non-linear inductance and acapacitor.

§ Elements needed for a circuit to exhibit Ferroresonance:

§ A non-linear inductance e.g. transformer magnetic core

§ A Capacitance:§ Voltage grading capacitors in HV circuit breakers

§ Conductor interphase capacitance

§ Capacitance to ground of cables or long lines

§ Series capacitor or shunt capacitor banks

§ A voltage or a current source

§ Low losses (less damping)

§ It is not so easy to predict the occurrence of ferroresonance.

§ Ferroresonance results in high voltages and currents, however, thewaveforms are usually irregular in shape.

§ Each pole has two 6-pulse converters connected in series on rectifier and inverter side.

§ At the rectifier side, both the poles are connected by 400 kV double-circuit transmissionlines (nearly 225 km in length) having 50% series compensation.

Ferroresonance

§ Possible options to mitigate ferroresonance

§ Bypass the series capacitor upon detection of ferroresonance

§ It limits the power transfer capability of the system

§ It is not a complete solution just a remedy

§ To install a reactor across the series capacitor

§ Extra cost

ü Best way is to have a supplementary control to damp the ferroresonance.

ü No extra cost for the additional equipment

ü Fast control

Possible solutions
