Abstract

The virtual inertia control effectively makes up for the insufficient inertia caused by the high penetration wind power grid connection. However, it has an impact on the mechanical part of the wind turbine and greatly increases the difficulty of the dynamic stability analysis of the system, resulting in limited engineering practicability. Therefore, the state equation of the wind power grid-connected system is established in this paper, and the influence of virtual inertia control on wind turbine shafting oscillation is analyzed based on the small-signal theory. Secondly, the nonlinear extended disturbance observer is designed as the compensation signal of inertia control to improve its dynamic stability supportability. Based on the integral manifold method, the shafting model of the wind turbine is reduced, and the transient energy function of shafting is established, which provided the basis for the design of the shafting stability controller. Finally, a grid-connected wind power system with high permeability is installed, and the results demonstrate that under the proposed control strategy, the swing stability of power angle is significantly improved, and the wind turbine shafting oscillation is suppressed.

1 Introduction

The power support deficiency caused by the electrical decoupling of wind turbines and the system is effectively solved with the introduction of virtual inertia control (; ; ). However, access to a large number of controllable inertia changes the distribution of inertia of the original system and causes an interaction with the power angle and damping characteristics of the system, even resulting in pushing the shafting oscillation of the wind turbine (; ; ). Therefore, the stability characteristics of wind power grid-connected systems should be comprehensively analyzed to optimize the virtual inertia control effect.

Wind turbines usually operate under maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control and cannot respond to frequency changes. With the increase in grid penetration, the equivalent inertia of the system decreases, threatening the system’s stable operation (; ; ). After the virtual inertia control is applied, the rotor’s kinetic energy of the wind turbine is used to provide power support to the system, which effectively improves the frequency modulation characteristics of the system (; ; ; ). However, the rapid power response generated by the virtual inertia control changes the external characteristics of the wind turbine obviously, making the dynamic stability analysis of the grid-connected wind turbine system with virtual inertia more complicated (; ; ; ).

At present, a proportional-derivative controller is added to the MPPT control of variable-speed wind turbines to simulate the inertial frequency response of synchronous generators by controlling the active commands (; ; ). However, the reference () based on the small-signal analysis of the grid-connected system pointed out that the excessive virtual inertia can reduce the damping ratio of the system, prolong the transient response time, and then lead to the deterioration of the transient stability. To optimize the virtual inertia control effect, researchers have carried out extensive research. In the reference (), the overspeed control and inertia control are combined, and the inertia is adaptively adjusted by constructing the relationship between the frequency and the inertia, thereby the frequency robustness of the system is improved. The principle of the coordinated configuration of virtual inertia and damping coefficient is given in references (; ), but the optimal response time and overshoot cannot be accurately obtained.

According to the extended state observer theory, the system state variables and disturbances are estimated without an accurate model of the system, thereby the weakening of the control effect caused by changing parameters and inaccurate models is reduced (). Using it in the wind turbine control link can effectively improve its auto disturbance rejection characteristics and optimize the corresponding control effect (). In addition, reference () demonstrates that the virtual inertia control has the risk of reducing the small-signal stability of the system. Under this control, with the system disturbed, the output power of the wind turbine varies widely, which has an impact on its flexible shaft and even causes speed oscillation instability. Reference (; ) proved the impact of virtual inertia control on the mechanical transmission chain of the wind turbine, and the rotor speed feedforward compensation is added in MPPT control to suppress the shafting oscillates, but unreasonable control coefficient is negatively affecting the dynamic stability of the system. The virtual inertia control strategy still needs to be improved to ensure the safety of the flexible shaft of the wind turbine and improve the dynamic stability of the grid-connected system. The comprehensive evaluation of the stable operation ability of the grid-connected system is the key to improving the additional controller’s friendly grid-connected function.

In this paper, by establishing the small-signal model of the wind power grid-connected system, the influence of virtual inertia on the damping characteristics of the system is analyzed, and the influence of the inertia coefficient on the electromagnetic torque damping characteristics of the wind turbine is studied combined with the two-mass model of the wind turbine. To improve the active disturbance rejection characteristic of inertia control, a nonlinear extended state observer is introduced, and a parameter design scheme based on the critical stability of shaft vibration is proposed by establishing the transient energy function of the wind turbine shaft to improve the dynamic stability of the system. Thereby the safe operation capability of the wind power grid-connected system is comprehensively improved. In section 2, a small disturbance analysis of the wind turbine grid-connected system is conducted. In Section 3, an extended disturbance observer and inertia parameter configuration principles are designed. Experimental studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme based on a typical power system with high-penetration wind power are presented in Section 4. Conclusions are presented in Section 5.

2 Small Signal Analysis of Wind Turbine Grid-Connected System

The variable speed wind turbine with virtual inertia control absorbs or releases the rotational kinetic energy by changing the wind turbine speed, adjusting the output power, and responding to the change of system frequency. Take a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) as an example. Figure 1 shows the active power control structure of the variable speed wind turbine, including MPPT control and virtual inertia controller module. Under the per-unit system, the active power control instruction of the wind turbine is the sum of the MPPT control reference instruction and the active power increment generated by the inertia controller, which can be expressed as ()where km is the MPPT coefficient of the wind turbine; kv is the inertia control coefficient. ωw is the angular velocity of the wind turbine; ωs and ωn are the angular velocity of the system synchronous generator and the rated angular velocity of the system, respectively. p is the differential operator.

FIGURE 1

The following two mass shafting models are established to analyze the dynamic stability of wind turbine shafting ().where ωr is the angular velocity of the wind turbine; θ is the torque angle of shafting; Hr and Hw are the inertia of the wind turbine and generator, respectively; Ks is the stiffness coefficient shafting; Pr is the mechanical power captured by the wind turbine.

Ignoring the damping coefficient Ds of synchronous generator, the equivalent second-order rotor motion equation of generator can be expressed aswhere Hs is the equivalent inertial time constant of the system; Pe is the electromagnetic power output by the synchronous generator; x represents the output state variable of the governor, dx/dt = ωn−ωs; k1 is the proportional coefficient; k2 is the integral coefficient of the governor.

Considering the system power balance, substituting Eq. 1 into Eq. 3, the equation can be expressed as followswhere Un represents the terminal voltage of the load connection point; r is the load equivalent resistance; SB is the system capacity reference value.

Combining Eq. 2 and Eq. 4, the small-signal equation of the wind turbine grid-connected system with virtual inertia control can be expressed aswhere HG = HS + kvSB; a11 = −k1SB/(HGSB); a12 = −k2/(HGSB); a14 = 2kmωw0/(HGSB); a33 = −Pr0/(Hrω2w0); a35 = −Ks/Hr; a41 = −k1kvSB/(HwHG); a42 = −k2kv/(HwHG); a44 = 2kmωw0k/Hw; k = kv/(HGSB)−1; a45 = Ks/Hw.

As the virtual inertia is introduced into the power system, the variable inertia distribution significantly affects system damping. Assuming the constant wind speed, the motion equation of the synchronous generator should be expressed as

By solving the differential equation shown in Eq. 6, the real part expression of the characteristic root of the system is obtained as:

According to Eq. 7, the introduction of kv makes the equivalent inertial time constant of the system HG increase, but the damping ratio of the synchronous generator is reduced and the characteristic roots gradually move towards the imaginary axis. Therefore, an unreasonable inertia control coefficient can even have a negative damping effect on the power angle oscillation of the synchronous generator. In addition, the virtual inertia control of the wind turbine affects the system’s dynamic characteristics and causes the stability of wind turbine shafting. Therefore, the analysis of the influence of the inertia response power of the wind turbine on shafting torsional vibration is extremely important for the safe popularization of control technology.

After the Laplace transformation of Eq. 5, ωw can be expressed as follows

The coefficient of Δωw in Eq. 8 is defined as a'44, and the shafting state equation of the wind turbine with inertial control can be sorted out as

The natural oscillation frequency of wind turbine shafting is about 1–2 Hz; therefore, the equation a'44≈a44 is valid. Since the inertia of the wind turbine is much greater than the inertia of the generator, i.e., Hw << Hr, as a state variable with the characteristics of rapid change, ωw can be approximated by an integral manifold to replace, thus reducing the order of Eq. 9, to obtain the approximate expression of the analytical solution of the shafting state equation. Assume that the integral manifold of the state variable ωw is given bywhere ε is an infinitesimal quantity.

Let ε = Hw/(mHr), where m>>2, and the power series expansion of Eq. 10 is given bySubstituting Eq. 11 into Eq. 9 and the expression is obtained aswhere,

The coefficients of ε0, ε1, and ε2 on both sides of Eq. 12 should be equal, and then the function h can be obtained as

Substituting Eq. 13 into Eq. 11, the state variable Δωw can be approximated aswhere ; .

After reducing the order of the system’s state equation combined with Eq. 14, the characteristic equation can be expressed as

Therefore, the real part of the characteristic root corresponding to the shafting oscillation mode is given by

According to Eq. 16, the inertia control coefficient kv affects the shafting oscillation mode of the wind turbine. As the control coefficient kv increases, k also increases, σ1,2 approaches the virtual axis of the state plane, and the dynamic stability of wind turbine shafting decreases. Therefore, a new virtual inertia control method is needed to increase the equivalent inertia of the system without causing the shaft oscillation instability of the wind turbine.

3 Virtual Inertia Optimization Based on Extended Observer

Considering the slowly changing characteristics of wind speed, the complexity of inertia control parameters is mainly affected by the penetration rate of wind power in the system. If the estimated inertia is set to Hs0, the first equation in Eq. 8 is given bywhere,

The frequency variation is significantly affected by the system disturbance power and the controller inertia response. The expanded disturbance observer can expand the unknown disturbance affecting the controlled output of the system into new state variables. By adjusting the control coefficient, the output observation signal is gradually close to the original system state variables to realize the observation of system state variables and unknown disturbances.

For the first-order nonlinear uncertain system shown in the above equation, the expansion state variable is constructed as

Let the control input u = ΔPv and the input coefficient b = 1/Hs0, the extended disturbance observer can be constructed as followswhere β1 and β2 are the adjusting gains of the nonlinear disturbance observer; α is a nonlinear factor, which generally is 0.5. γ is the filter factor related to the sampling step size of the system. fal(eω,α,γ) is a nonlinear function, which is expressed as

By adjusting the parameters of the expanded disturbance observer, β1, β2, α, γ reasonably, the observed value can approach the actual value quickly and ensure the observation precision of the observer. According to Eq. 17 and Eq. 18, with the disturbance observer, the unbalanced power of the system caused by virtual inertia control can be expressed as

In the process of dynamic regulation, it is necessary to set the control parameters of the shafting stabilizer to avoid the threat of shafting torsional vibration caused by additional power control of the wind turbine. Let ωθ = ωr-ωw, simplify Eq. 2, then the equivalent two-mass block shafting model of the wind turbine can be expressed aswhere Ht = Hr×Hw/(Hr + Hw).

Taking the virtual inertia control into account, the power balance equation of the single infinite power grid can be expressed as follows

The wind turbine is controlled by an additional shafting stabilizer, and substituting the above equation is into Eq. 22, after linearization, the expression is given bywhere, c1 = 2kmωw0[(kv/(Hs + kv/SB)−1]/Hw; c2 = P0/(Hrωw02); c3 = Ks/Ht; kss is the control coefficient of shafting stabilizer.

Since Δωr is in the opposite phase to Δωw, and Δωw = nΔωr, the expression of Δωθ can be expressed aswhere n is defined as the speed ratio between a low-speed and a high-speed shaft.

Substituting Eq. 25 into Eq. 24, the small-signal equation of state about θ is given by

The Lyapunov energy function of the wind turbine shafting system is constructed as

The shaft stiffness of the vital connecting parts inside the wind turbine is limited. Considering the most conservative case, when the shaft system stiffness is close to 0, and the nonlinear system is stable in the dynamic process, the first derivative of V(Δωθ) satisfies the Eq. 28 according to the Lyapunov stability criterion. Therefore, the control coefficient configuration criterion of the stabilizer is shown in Eq. 29

According to Eq. 29, the control coefficient kss is set corresponding to the critical stability of the torsional vibration mode of wind turbine shafting to limit the adverse effects brought by inertia adjustment power and ensure reliable damping of shafting oscillation of wind turbine.

By analyzing the influence of virtual inertia on system shafting stability, a virtual inertia compensation control strategy based on an extended disturbance observer is proposed, as shown in Figure 2. As the system is disturbed and the frequency fluctuates, the angular velocity ωs and the expansion variable a(t) are collected and input to the expanded disturbance observer. By setting its adjusting parameters kss reasonably, the estimated value of the system frequency and unbalanced power is rapidly approaching the actual value, and the compensation value of the output power of the inertia controller is calculated. Through Eq. 29, the control parameters of the shafting stabilization stabilizer are set, which are added with the power instruction of MPPT control and sent to the wind turbine to dynamically adjust the active power output of the wind turbine, change the power distribution of the system, and improve the system frequency supportability and shafting stability.

4 Verification and Analysis

4.1 System Structure

As shown in Figure 3, a 39-node New England system with the wind turbine interconnected system is established to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. The test system contains ten synchronous generators with a rated capacity of 200 MW, and two PMSG-based wind farms with 400 turbines with a rated capacity of 2MW, which are connected to the system through the bus B3 and B22, respectively. Specific simulation parameters are shown in Tables 1, 2.

The nonlinear factor α is set as 0.5, and the filtering factor γ = 1000 h. Since the convergence effect of the expanded observer is affected by the gain coefficients β1 and β2, online debugging is carried out according to the estimation accuracy requirements of the observer, so that the estimated value of the output of the observer can approach the actual value at a faster speed. As β1 = 30 and β2 = 120, the observer can get a better convergence effect without causing a high-frequency flutter phenomenon.

4.2 The Modal Analysis

The simulation model of the system shown in Figure 3 is built in the DIgSILENT/PowerFactory, and the modal analysis of the system is conducted under the initial steady-state conditions of the system. Without virtual inertia control, the characteristic roots of the shafting oscillation mode of DFIG and the low-frequency oscillation mode of the synchronous generator in the region are −0.691 + j13.680 and −0.313 + j5.881, respectively. The corresponding phasor diagram and bar diagram of the participating factors is shown in Figure 4, respectively.

FIGURE 4

According to the oscillation mode diagram, the shafting oscillation of the wind turbine is mainly affected by the torque angle of shafting and the angular velocity of the generator. The participation factors of the internal oscillation modes in the grid-connected system are rotor angles and angular velocities of the two synchronizers, which are consistent with the theoretical analysis results.

To verify the effect of the optimized inertia control scheme designed in this paper, the control coefficient kv of constant virtual inertia is set to 30, and the shafting oscillation information of wind turbines and the information on the system static stability are calculated. As shown in Table 3, under constant inertia control, the oscillation frequency of wind turbine shafting increases greatly, which threatens the safe operation of the vital connecting parts. Compared with it, the optimized inertia control scheme designed in this paper can improve the damping ratio of the shafting oscillation mode of the wind turbine and the low-frequency oscillation mode of the system, and the oscillation frequency is also reduced Table 4. Therefore, the optimized inertia control can effectively improve the static stability of the grid-connected system based on ensuring the operating life of the wind turbine.

Variations of the region oscillation mode.

Regulating the control coefficient of inertia kv increases from 0 to 30, the characteristic root track corresponding to each oscillation mode of the system is shown in Figure 5. Where λ1 represents the region low-frequency oscillation mode, λ2 represents the local low-frequency oscillation mode, and λ3 represents the shafting oscillation mode of the wind turbine. As kv increases from 0 to 15, λ1 and λ2 move away from the imaginary axis. If kv continues to increase, the low-frequency oscillation in the region of the grid-connected system intensifies, and the overall stability decreases. The larger kv is, the greater the active power output fluctuation of the wind turbine is, and the lower the oscillation stability of its shafting is, which is consistent with the theoretical analysis in Section 2.

FIGURE 5

4.3 Dynamic Response Under Short Circuit Fault

In the following experimental tests, three control schemes are compared to verify the influence of virtual inertia control on the dynamic stability of the system. A three-phase short-circuit fault lasting 0.1 s is set at bus B16, and the wind speed is kept constant at 9 m/s during the fault process.

The dynamic response comparison curve of system power angle δG4, frequency f, and active power output of synchronous generator PG4 are shown in Figure 6. It can be seen from Figure 6A that the traditional constant inertia control effectively increases the inertial time constant of the system, so the amplitude of the first swing of the power angle decreases after the fault. Although the fluctuation amplitude of the system frequency and power has decreased, the lower damping ratio makes the oscillation time longer, and the transient stability of the system still has a large room for improvement.

FIGURE 6

As can be seen from Figure 6B, after the optimized control strategy designed in this paper, is adopted, the time of the first pendulum oscillation of the system power angle is reduced by 59%, the maximum peak-to-peak value of the frequency fluctuation is reduced by 0.75 Hz, and the active power output of the synchronous generator G4 is reduced by 64 MW. It can be seen from Figure 7 that the amplitude of the first swing of the power angle is decreased by 52%, and the recovery time is shortened with the damping characteristics significantly improved.

FIGURE 7

Under the short-circuit fault, the response curves of the electromagnetic power of PMSG Pw and generator rotor speed ωw are shown in Figure 8. The active power of the wind turbine is significantly adjusted by the constant inertia control during the system short-circuit fault, so the electromagnetic power and speed of the wind turbine fluctuate greatly, which is not conducive to the dynamic stability of the wind turbine shafting. Under the optimized inertia control strategy, the wind turbines optimize the active output and dynamic compensation system of the power deficiency by estimating system unbalanced power. Therefore, the recovery time of the wind turbine speed is shortened by 3.5 s, and the fluctuation amplitude of the speed is reduced by 6%. Meanwhile, the system dynamic stability is improved, and the shaft stability of wind turbines is assured.

FIGURE 8

4.4 Dynamic Response After the Load Event

To verify the frequency regulation performance of the designed inertia optimization control strategy, the initial conditions of the simulation system are changed, the load at B16 is set to suddenly increase by 1200 MW at 2 s, and the dynamic response of the system is obtained as shown in Figures 9–11.

FIGURE 9

FIGURE 10

FIGURE 11

It can be seen from Figure 9 that, compared with no additional control, the frequency drop amplitude under constant inertia control is reduced by 28%, but the frequency recovery time is longer. The optimized inertia control can speed up the transient process of the system and improve the dynamic stability of the system while assisting the frequency adjustment of the system. As shown in Figures 10, 11, after the optimized inertia control proposed in this paper is applied, the rotor speed fluctuation amplitude of the wind turbine is reduced by 4%, and its output power changes more smoothly, which significantly improves the stability of the wind turbine and effectively shares the frequency modulation of the synchronous generator pressure.

5 Conclusion

In this paper, the influence of inertia control on the system and wind turbine shafting dynamic stability is analyzed by establishing the state equation of the grid-connected system of the wind turbine, and the optimal control strategy of inertia is designed. The conclusions are as follows:

1) The virtual inertia control of variable-speed wind turbines can effectively improve the system inertia weakening caused by wind turbine grid connection, but the increase of the system equivalent inertia time constant will lead to a decrease in the system damping ratio and slow power oscillation attenuation. The integral manifold method is used to reduce the order of the small-signal model of the wind turbine shafting. With the increase of the differential control coefficient kv, the vibration modal characteristic root of the wind turbine shafting is close to the imaginary axis. Under virtual inertia control, wind turbines have an extensive range of power regulations and frequent rotational speed changes impact the mechanical life of wind turbine shafting.

2) Virtual inertial control based on a nonlinear disturbance observer is designed to optimize the virtual inertia control strategy, compensate for the support power output by the wind turbine, and reduce the virtual inertia based on ensuring the frequency modulation effect by estimating the unbalanced power generated by the system in the disturbance process. Thereby the system damping characteristics are improved, and the grid-friendly function of additional inertia control is improved. By establishing the critical stability transient energy function of the wind turbine shafting, the setting range of the kss control coefficient of the shafting stabilizer is given, to ensure the stability of the wind turbine oscillation.
