This work studies the Sub-Synchronous Resonance (SSR) interactions that can take place when a DFIG-based wind farm is connected to the electrical grid through a series-compensated transmission line. As opposed to recent literature on the subject, a multiple machine model is employed to represent the wind farm. This representation allows taking into account machine speed variability due to wind parks being spread over large extensions of land. Additionally, a three-mass model is used to describe the dynamics of the turbine-generator set (instead of the recurrently employed two-mass model). The obtained simulation results show that simplified modeling of DFIG-based wind farms can have a fairly significant impact on SSR related studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
