Impact of Fixed/Variable Speed Hydro, Wind, and Photovoltaic on Sub-Synchronous Torsional Oscillation—A Review

Abstract

Series compensation is a cost-efficient way to enhance the system reliability and the power transfer capabilities of long transmission lines. As a result of series compensation, the sub-synchronous oscillation (SSO) causes a severe risk of torsional interactions (TI). Therefore, SSO becomes a serious risk factor in grid-integrated renewable energy systems. Numerous researchers have evaluated SSO instances in several types of asynchronous generators in power systems. In this paper, the categorization and the overview of the SSO phenomena have been vital for the different mechanisms, sophisticated systems, analytical techniques, and multiple reviews that have been propagated. This study provides SSO analysis for various types of renewable energy power plants. Finally, while dealing with conventional and new power systems, this study summarizes recent SSO-damping and alleviation techniques for practical perception and future perspectives.
