Assessment & Alternatives for SSR in a Series Capacitor Wind Farm Employing TCSC

Abstract

Abstract Wind energy systems are going to build their footprint in the electricity grid around the world as one of the most viable renewable and environmentally friendly sources of energy. Keeping this scenario in mind and predicting further growth in installations, power systems should be prepared for the assimilation of such large wind farms. Almost every system has been outfitted with electricity compensation processes to enhance a sustainable transfer of electricity generation. This would have the possibility to trigger SSR difficulties in a variety of power grid circumstances. An analysis and SSR solutions will be discussed and recommendations. SSR inhibition is accomplished via the TCSC that also aids in increasing the transmitting station’s power flow. So if coupled to closed-loop control loops, TCSC dampens SSO. Efficacy is evaluated using SIMULINK studies in the MATLAB environment to results demonstrate the effectiveness of TCSC throughout the SSR damping process.
