CFES Annual Conference 02-26-2015 12 SSR Damping Methods • Static Var Compensator at wind farm terminals – (H. Xie and M. Oliveira, 2014) • STATCOM damping at wind farm terminals – (A. Moharana, R. Varma and R. Seethapathy, 2014) • Damping through power electronics controls – GSC damping using series capacitor voltage (H. Mohammadpour and E. Santi, 2015) – RSC damping using dq-axis rotor voltages (A. Leon and J. Solsona, 2015) CFES Annual Conference 02-26-2015 13 Wind Farm SVC SSR Damping SSR damping Power Grid SVC Damping OFF Damping ON • Controls susceptance based on local variables, e.g. line power • Susceptance response is non linear, and depends on operating conditions • Needs the installation TSC • With enough information, its effective over a wide power and wind speed spectrum.

Requires detailed knowledge of the wind farm parameters and operating conditions. Fine-tuning of parameters is done by hand using EMT simulations. STATCOM gives a lot of flexibility to adjust system eigenvalues and stabilize it. A.

No damping Damping approach determines which measurements to use and where to inject signal. Can be applied to RSC or GSC. Does not need external equipment. Damping Signal can be inserted at any corresponding part of the controller. Capacitor voltage compensation Injected at GSC voltage regulator H.
