Strong Dynamic Interactions of Grid-Connected DFIGs With Power Systems Caused by Modal Coupling.

This paper establishes a closed-loop interconnected dynamic model of a power system with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) for wind power generation, wherein, the DFIG and power system are modeled as two open-loop interconnected subsystems. The established model indicates that the impact of the dynamic interactions introduced by the DFIG on the power system's small-signal angular stability is the difference between the closed-loop and open-loop electromechanical oscillation modes (EOMs). The analysis conducted in this study reveals that when an open-loop DFIG oscillation mode (DOM) is close to an open-loop EOM on the complex plane, the modal coupling of the open-loop EOM and DOM can cause strong dynamic interactions between the DFIG and the power system; thus, the DFIG has a significant impact on the power system's small-signal angular stability. An example multimachine power system with grid-connected DFIGs is presented to demonstrate and validate the analysis and conclusions made in the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
