Abstract
This paper proposes an auxiliary damping control approach based on the wide-area measurement system (WAMS). Its main objective is to mitigate sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) in doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms connected to a series capacitive compensated transmission network. To mitigate the delay in sending measurement signals, typically associated with wide-area measurement systems, a fuzzy logic wide-area damping controller (FLWADC) is considered to mitigate the time delay caused by the phasor measurement unit (PMU) measurement. The FLWADC is a supplementary signal at the stator voltage of the grid-side converter (GSC) of the DFIG-based wind farms. The FLWADC was executed by using the voltage and capacitor voltage variations of the series capacitive compensated transmission network. The effectiveness and validity of the proposed auxiliary damping control was verified using a modified scheme of the IEEE first benchmark model via time-area simulation analysis using MATLAB/Simulink.
