Coordinated control and parameters optimization for PSS, POD and SVC to enhance the transient stability with the integration of DFIG based wind power systems

Abstract

This paper presents stability enhancement of a test system that is connected with a Wind Farm (WF) by using Power System Stabilizer (PSS) for Synchronous Generator (SG) and Power Oscillation Damper (POD) for Static Var Compensator (SVC). This paper also proposes a coordination mechanism for the controller to effectively damp out the oscillations and make the power system more stable by considering the uncertainties. The uncertainty is considered as wind speed variation and wind power penetration and different locations. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to overcome the controller parameter tuning drawbacks and controller coordination. The SG rotor speed deviation is selected as an objective function with various constraints for PSO. The transient stability analysis is carried out by considering large disturbance that is a three-phase fault. The nonlinear dynamic simulation results are obtained by integrating WF and SG replacement with the same rating WF. Evaluation and analysis are performed for various cases and different combination of without and with controllers. From the simulation results, it is noticed that oscillations in the system are minimized, and stability is enhanced at the maximum level. It also observed that the capability of SG and DFIG under three-phase fault is intensified by using PSO for optimized coordinated controller parameters. The robustness and effectiveness of the proposed approaches are evaluated on the IEEE-11 bus test system.
