Analysis of Influence of Grid-Following and Grid-Forming Static Var Generators on High-Frequency Resonance in Doubly Fed Induction Generator-Based Wind Farms.

In Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based wind farms with Static Var Generators (SVGs), high-frequency resonance will be more like to occur when an unloaded cable is put into operation, which will threaten the stable operation of the wind farm. To address this issue, the influence of power outer loops on the impedance of grid-connected inverters is considered. Based on harmonic linearization, theoretical models for the sequence impedances of DFIGs, Grid-following (GFL) SVGs, and Grid-forming (GFM) SVGs are established. The correctness of the three models is verified by impedance scanning using the frequency sweep method. Through a comparative analysis of these sequence impedances, it is found that unlike the GFM SVG (which exhibits inductive impedance), the GFL SVG exhibits capacitive impedance in the high-frequency band, which leads to negative damping characteristics in the high-frequency band for the wind farm system with the grid-following SVG; thereby, the risk of high-frequency resonance also increases accordingly. On the contrary, GFM control adopted by SVGs can effectively eliminate the negative damping region in the high-frequency band for wind farms to suppress high-frequency resonance. Meanwhile, for grid-forming SVGs, the parameter variations in power synchronous loops have no significant impact on the suppressing effect of high-frequency resonance for wind farms. Finally, an electromagnetic simulation model for a DFIG-based wind farm system with an SVG is established using the StarSim-HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) experiment platform, and the simulation results validate the correctness of the theoretical analysis.
