Wind farm stability margin exhibits time-varying characteristics due to the influence of time-dependent factors such as output power fluctuations and short-circuit ratio (SCR) variations
increasing oscillation risks caused by insufficient stability margins. Therefore
an online adaptive control method for the wind farm stability margin based on a multi-machine autonomous collaboration architecture is proposed
including turbine-side autonomous control and farm-side correction control
in which the former is used for fast response and the latter for improving accuracy. First
a frequency-domain wind farm model that is conducive to control design is established
considering multi-machine interactions. Based on this model and time-frequency domain modal analysis method
the weak mode-oriented damping control loops are introduced
whose parameters are used as margin control variables. Then
stability margin evaluation models for both turbine and farm are established containing time-varying parameters and margin control variables. With these two models
a stability margin autonomous controller and a correction controller are designed. Furthermore
enabling the online adaptive margin control. Finally
typical time-dependent operating conditions are tested in a real-time simulation platform
showing that the proposed method can be adopted to effectively enhance the robustness of the stability margin against time-varying factors and helps prevent oscillations.
