HARMONIC, SUBHARMONIC, SUPERHARMONIC, SIMULTANEOUS SUB/SUPER HARMONIC AND COMBINATION RESONANCES OF SELF-EXCITED TWO COUPLED SECOND ORDER SYSTEMS TO MULTI-FREQUENCY EXCITATION

Harmonic, subharmonic, superharmonic, simultaneous sub/super harmonic, and combination resonances of the additive type of self-excited two coupled-second order systems to multi-frequency excitation are investigated. The theoretical results are obtained by the multiple-scales method. The steady state amplitudes for each resonance are plotted, showing the influence of the different parameters. Analysis for each figure is given. Approximate solution corresponding to each type of resonance is determined. Stability analyses are carried out for each case.

Overview of Mechanism and Mitigation Measures on Multi-frequency Oscillation Caused by Large-scale Integration of Wind Power

In recent years,the large-scale integration of re-newable energy sources represented by wind power and the widespread application of power electronic devices in power systems have led to the emergence of multi-frequency oscillation problems covering multiple frequency segments,which seriously threaten system stability and restrict the accommodation of renewable energy.The oscillation problems related to renewable energy integration have become one of the most popular topics in the field of wind power integration and power system stability research.It has received extensive attention from both academia and industries with many promising research results achieved to date.This paper first analyzes several typical multi-frequency oscillation events caused by large-scale wind power integration in domestic and foreign projects,then studies the multi-frequency oscillation problems,including wind turbine’s shafting torsional oscillation,sub/super-synchronous oscillation and high frequency resonance.The state of the art is systematically summarized from the aspects of oscillation mechanism,analysis methods and mitigation measures,and the future research directions are explored.

An improved strategy for out-of-step oscillation separation devices based on apparent impedance angle applied to a series compensated line

Out-of-step oscillation separation devices based on apparent impedance angle trajectory are widely used in the power grid in China,and their reliability is of great importance.In this paper,the influence mechanism of series compensation on apparent impedance angle trajectory is analyzed.It reveals that series compensation capacitors reduce the equivalent impedance angle and consequently the apparent impedance angle cannot pass through all four zones,resulting in the risk of failure for the separation devices.A revised method of apparent impedance angle based on compensation principle is discussed,and then an improved out-of-step oscillation detection criterion is proposed.In view of the fact that the apparent impedance angle at the moment of maximum current is equal to the equivalent impedance angle during an oscillation process,a practical algorithm based on the compensated apparent impedance angle is proposed.RTDS tests are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the new criterion,considering transmission lines with a high series compensation level.

Review of the development of power system out-of-step splitting control and some thoughts on the impact of large-scale access of renewable energy

Out-of-step oscillation is a very destructive physical phenomenon in power system, which could directly cause big blackout accompanied by serious sociology-economic impacts. Out-of-step splitting control is an indispensable means, which could protect the system from major shocks of out-of-step oscillation. After years of development, it has achieved certain amount of research results. Have the existing methods been able to meet the requirements of out-of-step splitting? What improvements are needed? Under this background, this review is written. It combs the development of out-of-step splitting control technologies and analyzes the technical routes and characteristics of different methods. It points out the contradiction between rapidity and optimality is the biggest technical problem, existing in both the traditional local measurement based out-of-step splitting protection and the wide-area information based out-of-step splitting protection. It further points out that the advantages of the two types of protections can be combined with the unique physical characteristics of the out-of-step center to form a more advantageous splitting strategy. Besides, facing the fact of large-scale renewable energy access to power grid in recent years, this review also analyzes the challenges brought by it and provides some corresponding suggestions. It is hoped to provide some guidance for the subsequent research work.
