1 Introduction

Due to the advantages in speed control and four-quadrantactive and reactive power regular capabilities the largeoffshore wind farms based on doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) have been planned around worldwide [1 2] Withthe anticipated high level penetration of offshore wind powerincreasing voltage source converter based high voltage directcurrent (VSC-HVDC) connections are expected for windpower integration with the onshore ac grids [3] The VSC-HVDC transmission is emerging as the prospective technol-ogy to address the challenges associated with the integrationof future offshore wind power [4]

VSC-HVDC transmission system was employed in [5]for transmitting offshore wind power equipped with fixedspeed generators to the grid In [6 7] a 6 MW wind farmconnected to the grid through the VSC-HVDC transmissionsystem is studied In the future many large wind farms underdevelopment will employ DFIG-based wind turbines whoseoperation and response to network disturbances are signifi-cantly different from other types of generators The controlstrategy of VSC-HVDC transmission system technology forconnecting large DFIG-based wind farms over long distanceis studied in [8] New control strategies for normal and gridfault conditions are proposed To obtain smooth operationthe wind farm side converter is controlled as an infinitevoltage source that automatically absorbs power generated by

the wind farm and maintains a stable local ac network In[9] line commutated HVDC systems had also been used toconnect a large DFIG-based offshore wind farm into the grid

The dynamic behavior of the DFIG has been investigatedby many researchers [10 11] The majority of these studiesare based on time-domain simulation results to investigatethe impact on power system dynamic behavior The controlmethod made DFIG behave like a synchronous generator[12ndash15] Time-domain studies offer a direct appreciation ofthe dynamic behavior in terms of visual clarity Howeverthe time-domain simulation is hard to observe for all theoscillation modals of the systems [16] In [17] a suitablemodel for small signal stability analysis and control designof multiterminal dc networks is presented A typical test net-work that combines conventional synchronous and offshorefixed speed wind generation connected to onshore via a dcnetwork is used to illustrate the design of enhanced voltagesource converter controllers The impact of VSC controlparameters on network dynamic behavior is discussed

21 Doubly Fed Induction Generator The one-phase equiv-alent electric circuit of the DFIG rotor and stator is shownin Figure 2 The dynamic equations of DFIG are usuallydescribed by transforming the machine ldquo119886119887119888rdquo voltage equa-tions into a synchronously rotating frame referred to as theldquo119889-119902rdquo frame

For stability analysis the generators are modeled as anequivalent voltage source based on transient impedance Thedynamic model of DFIG is shown as

22 Controller of DFIG Converters The purpose of the rotorside converter controller is to control the active power so asto track the maxim power 119875ref and to maintain the terminalvoltage 119880119904ref as a constant For the grid-side converter thecontroller has to keep the dc-link voltage as a constant andthe desired sharing of reactive power with stator is achievedUsually the reactive power delivered to the grid is onlyproduced from the stator to minimize the converter capacitySo the rotor side converter works at unity power factorAccording to [18] the model of rotor-side convert and itscontroller is shown in

Thus the control strategy makes the wind farm beconnected to an infinite ac system the power generated by thewind farm is automatically absorbed by the source resembledby the wind farm side converters and then transmitted to thegrid via the DC lines

25 Controller of Grid Side HVDC Converter The WSVSCcollects energy from wind farm and then transmits it to thepower grid via the dc transmission and grid side converter(GSVSC) (Figure 5) For a dc transmission system weexpect the dc voltage to maintain a constant value under allcondition to keep the system work stability A constant dcvoltage indicates balanced active power flow between the two

3 Modal Analysis

The complete state-space representation of the test system isobtained by combining all the linearized models As shownin Figure 7 the small signal model of the whole system iscombined

The small signal stability can be observed by eigenvalueanalysis of the whole system linearized model In this casethe ldquosmall signalrdquo disturbances are considered sufficientlysmall to permit the equations representing the system to belinearized and expressed in state-space form The model of apower system can be expressed as a set of DAEThe linearized

The study system is shown in Figure 1 where a DFIG-basedwind farm (100MW form aggregation of 2MW units) isconnected to a VSC-HVDC linkThe dc transmission voltageis 300 kV pole-to-pole (plusmn150 kV-bipolar) The length of thedc transmission cables is 50 km The onshore ac power gridwhich is comprised of conventional generation is modeledas a synchronous generator with the ratings of 33 kV and2400MVA

21 Doubly Fed Induction Generator The one-phase equiv-alent electric circuit of the DFIG rotor and stator is shownin Figure 2 The dynamic equations of DFIG are usuallydescribed by transforming the machine ldquo119886119887119888rdquo voltage equa-tions into a synchronously rotating frame referred to as theldquo119889-119902rdquo frame

For stability analysis the generators are modeled as anequivalent voltage source based on transient impedance Thedynamic model of DFIG is shown as

22 Controller of DFIG Converters The purpose of the rotorside converter controller is to control the active power so asto track the maxim power 119875ref and to maintain the terminalvoltage 119880119904ref as a constant For the grid-side converter thecontroller has to keep the dc-link voltage as a constant andthe desired sharing of reactive power with stator is achievedUsually the reactive power delivered to the grid is onlyproduced from the stator to minimize the converter capacitySo the rotor side converter works at unity power factorAccording to [18] the model of rotor-side convert and itscontroller is shown in

ac bus working at constant frequency and voltage So thecontroller of wind farm side converter should maintain theac bus frequency and voltage as a constant After that theprimary requirement of the WFVSC is to transfer energycollected from thewind farmTheoutput power formDFIG iscontrolled by power electronic converters and MPPT systemand the network frequency variations when little influenceis on the power generation The main task for the WFVSCis to collect energy from the wind farm and to control theac voltage and frequency of the local wind farm networkTherefore the control strategy adopted on the WFVSC is tocontrol the wind farm side converter as an infinite voltagesource with constant frequency voltage amplitude and phaseangle The control block diagram for theWFVSC is shown inFigure 4

Consider the voltage measurement devise delay themeasurement unit can be modeled as a first-order process

Thus the control strategy makes the wind farm beconnected to an infinite ac system the power generated by thewind farm is automatically absorbed by the source resembledby the wind farm side converters and then transmitted to thegrid via the DC lines

25 Controller of Grid Side HVDC Converter The WSVSCcollects energy from wind farm and then transmits it to thepower grid via the dc transmission and grid side converter(GSVSC) (Figure 5) For a dc transmission system weexpect the dc voltage to maintain a constant value under allcondition to keep the system work stability A constant dcvoltage indicates balanced active power flow between the two

3 Modal Analysis

The complete state-space representation of the test system isobtained by combining all the linearized models As shownin Figure 7 the small signal model of the whole system iscombined

The small signal stability can be observed by eigenvalueanalysis of the whole system linearized model In this casethe ldquosmall signalrdquo disturbances are considered sufficientlysmall to permit the equations representing the system to belinearized and expressed in state-space form The model of apower system can be expressed as a set of DAEThe linearized

Figure 5 Control block diagram of the grid side converter

ac bus working at constant frequency and voltage So thecontroller of wind farm side converter should maintain theac bus frequency and voltage as a constant After that theprimary requirement of the WFVSC is to transfer energycollected from thewind farmTheoutput power formDFIG iscontrolled by power electronic converters and MPPT systemand the network frequency variations when little influenceis on the power generation The main task for the WFVSCis to collect energy from the wind farm and to control theac voltage and frequency of the local wind farm networkTherefore the control strategy adopted on the WFVSC is tocontrol the wind farm side converter as an infinite voltagesource with constant frequency voltage amplitude and phaseangle The control block diagram for theWFVSC is shown inFigure 4

Consider the voltage measurement devise delay themeasurement unit can be modeled as a first-order process

Thus the control strategy makes the wind farm beconnected to an infinite ac system the power generated by thewind farm is automatically absorbed by the source resembledby the wind farm side converters and then transmitted to thegrid via the DC lines

25 Controller of Grid Side HVDC Converter The WSVSCcollects energy from wind farm and then transmits it to thepower grid via the dc transmission and grid side converter(GSVSC) (Figure 5) For a dc transmission system weexpect the dc voltage to maintain a constant value under allcondition to keep the system work stability A constant dcvoltage indicates balanced active power flow between the two

3 Modal Analysis

The complete state-space representation of the test system isobtained by combining all the linearized models As shownin Figure 7 the small signal model of the whole system iscombined

The small signal stability can be observed by eigenvalueanalysis of the whole system linearized model In this casethe ldquosmall signalrdquo disturbances are considered sufficientlysmall to permit the equations representing the system to belinearized and expressed in state-space form The model of apower system can be expressed as a set of DAEThe linearized

Δx = ΑΔx + BΔu (15)

where Δx is the state vector with 26 orders u is the inputvector A is the state matrix and B is the input or controlmatrix The eigenvalue of the state matrix A provides thenecessary information about the small signal stability of thesystem

The purpose to model the small signal model of thesystem is to study the small signal stability and for thefurther study to investigate the controller parameters designto enhance the small signal stability The control parametersemployed in this study are shown in Table 1

Figure 5 Control block diagram of the grid side converter

ac bus working at constant frequency and voltage So thecontroller of wind farm side converter should maintain theac bus frequency and voltage as a constant After that theprimary requirement of the WFVSC is to transfer energycollected from thewind farmTheoutput power formDFIG iscontrolled by power electronic converters and MPPT systemand the network frequency variations when little influenceis on the power generation The main task for the WFVSCis to collect energy from the wind farm and to control theac voltage and frequency of the local wind farm networkTherefore the control strategy adopted on the WFVSC is tocontrol the wind farm side converter as an infinite voltagesource with constant frequency voltage amplitude and phaseangle The control block diagram for theWFVSC is shown inFigure 4

Consider the voltage measurement devise delay themeasurement unit can be modeled as a first-order process

The controller of the converter is respected to the bus voltageas shown in Figure 4 The dynamic model of the wind farmside converter controller is shown as

Thus the control strategy makes the wind farm beconnected to an infinite ac system the power generated by thewind farm is automatically absorbed by the source resembledby the wind farm side converters and then transmitted to thegrid via the DC lines

25 Controller of Grid Side HVDC Converter The WSVSCcollects energy from wind farm and then transmits it to thepower grid via the dc transmission and grid side converter(GSVSC) (Figure 5) For a dc transmission system weexpect the dc voltage to maintain a constant value under allcondition to keep the system work stability A constant dcvoltage indicates balanced active power flow between the two

3 Modal Analysis

The complete state-space representation of the test system isobtained by combining all the linearized models As shownin Figure 7 the small signal model of the whole system iscombined

The small signal stability can be observed by eigenvalueanalysis of the whole system linearized model In this casethe ldquosmall signalrdquo disturbances are considered sufficientlysmall to permit the equations representing the system to belinearized and expressed in state-space form The model of apower system can be expressed as a set of DAEThe linearized

Δx = ΑΔx + BΔu (15)

where Δx is the state vector with 26 orders u is the inputvector A is the state matrix and B is the input or controlmatrix The eigenvalue of the state matrix A provides thenecessary information about the small signal stability of thesystem

The purpose to model the small signal model of thesystem is to study the small signal stability and for thefurther study to investigate the controller parameters designto enhance the small signal stability The control parametersemployed in this study are shown in Table 1

The eigenvalue analysis of the small signal model is showin Table 2 Eigenvalues shown here are all the oscillationmode It is known that the whole real part of the eigenvaluesis negative and the oscillation mode is stable under thecontroller parameters in Table 1

3 Modal Analysis

The complete state-space representation of the test system isobtained by combining all the linearized models As shownin Figure 7 the small signal model of the whole system iscombined

The small signal stability can be observed by eigenvalueanalysis of the whole system linearized model In this casethe ldquosmall signalrdquo disturbances are considered sufficientlysmall to permit the equations representing the system to belinearized and expressed in state-space form The model of apower system can be expressed as a set of DAEThe linearized

model of the test system can be expressed in state-space formas in

Δx = ΑΔx + BΔu (15)

where Δx is the state vector with 26 orders u is the inputvector A is the state matrix and B is the input or controlmatrix The eigenvalue of the state matrix A provides thenecessary information about the small signal stability of thesystem

The purpose to model the small signal model of thesystem is to study the small signal stability and for thefurther study to investigate the controller parameters designto enhance the small signal stability The control parametersemployed in this study are shown in Table 1

The eigenvalue analysis of the small signal model is showin Table 2 Eigenvalues shown here are all the oscillationmode It is known that the whole real part of the eigenvaluesis negative and the oscillation mode is stable under thecontroller parameters in Table 1
