Characteristic analysis and mitigation strategy for SSCI in series-compensated DFIG-based wind farm controlled by a virtual synchronous generator.

The proliferation of virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology within series-compensated double-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms is substantially hampered by the attendant risk of subsynchronous control interaction (SSCI), resulting in a significant research deficiency on systematic control interaction analysis and the development of mitigation strategies. The paper proposes an advanced active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) framework, incorporating real-time compensation mechanisms to mitigate the inadequate suppression efficacy attributable to the VSG's diminished output impedance. Initially, the mathematical expression for the VSG output impedance is rigorously deduced, and the positive damping attributes of the VSG in relation to SSCI are elucidated from the perspective of underlying mechanistic principles. Subsequently, the suppressive mechanism of SSCI by the ADRC is revealed in the context of VSG involvement, and the consequent augmentation of SSCI attributed to PI control is systematically derived. In immediate succession, the quanta of oscillation and inductive cross-coupling are encapsulated as the system's aggregate disturbance, thereby streamlining the ADRC to its primary order configuration, permitting the utilization of an extended state observer (ESO) for the dynamic estimation of said disturbance. Furthermore, a fractional-order filter function is instituted to engineer an augmented ESO, which refines the output voltage of the grid-side converter. Concurrently, a meticulous discourse on the rectification strategy for the proposed ESO parameters and its stability ensues. Ultimately, the efficacy of the mechanism analysis, alongside the robustness of the proffered control strategy for SSCI mitigation under diverse perturbation conditions, is corroborated via impedance evaluation and time-domain simulation.
