1 Introduction
As one of the most efficient new energy sources that have thepotential of large-scale development wind power generationhas developed speedily in China Due to the limited abilityof electricity consumption wind power in northwest Chinanortheast China and north China should be transmittedto the load center by long-distance transmission line [1 2]Given that wind power is not constant and it is not econom-ical to transmit wind power alone there arises the necessityto ldquobondrdquo large-scale wind farms with thermal power plantso as to realize transregional transmission However hybridtransmission system easily triggers low frequency oscillationor angle instability [3 4]
Damping features and controllable strategy of flywheelenergy storage device [5] flexible power conditioner [6] andstatic series compensator [7] were studied to improve damp-ing of the power system in previous research But the cost of
large-scale power electronic equipment is so high that it limitsthe application In comparison doubly fed wind generatorcan realize decoupling control of active and reactive power[8] Excitation converter in the wind turbine system can beadjusted to control the active power in the transient processAs a result for large-scale wind farms active power in thewhole wind farms can be adjusted randomly and quicklythrough the communication networkmaking thewind farmscontrollable So long as the active power is able to be adjustedit is possible to enhance the stability of the power systemControllable power in the wind farms can not only helpincrease the damping and prevent low frequency oscillationbut also enhance transient angle stability of the power systemwhich is meaningful for ensuring grid safety
In this paper firstly structural features of hybrid powersystem of wind farms and thermal power plant are analyzedand problems about stability of the power transmissionsystem are pointed out Secondly the mathematical model of

doubly fed wind farms and DC power transmission system isestablished And it is proved that active power in the large-scale wind farms is controllable Thirdly for the purpose ofincreasing damping of the system and enhancing angel sta-bility a coordinated control strategy for wind farms and DCpower transmission system is proposed Finally the experi-mental prototype is made and the control effect of the experi-mental prototype is also introduced in detail
2 ACDC Power Transmission SystemIncorporating Wind Farms
Chinese large-scale wind farms are usually located at remoteareas Due to small load capacity power generated by thelarge-scale wind farms cannot be consumed So long-distancetransmission is an inevitable solution But as the wind poweris not constant long-distance transmission is costly if windpower is the only thing to transmit And irregular fluctuationof the wind power would make the grid unstable So at thepresent time a hybrid transmission mode of wind farms andthermal power plant (also named as wind-thermal hybridpower system) [9] is the main form of transmission as isshown in Figure 1 To be more specific wind farms are con-nected with the thermal power plant nearby and the power istransmitted to other areas by extra high voltage (EHV) line
Wind-thermal hybrid power transmission mode is forlong-distance transmission But as the utilization hours ofwind power are lesser than the conventional thermal powerplant the transmission channel capacity of wind power isdesigned lower than the maximum power When large-scalewind power is generated the transmission line will be heavilyloaded and the thermal power plant also functions in aheavy-load state resulting in low frequency oscillation Inaddition vector control of the turbine may pose influence ondamping [10] It is also worth noticing that the thermal powerunit bonded with the wind farms is responsible for curbingwind power fluctuation So the adjustment for the unit isfrequent which would damage the power system stabilizer(PSS) [11] and hamper damping characteristic Thereforeeffective measures on damping should be taken to ensure safeoperation of the wind-thermal power transmission system
In addition the wind-thermal hybrid power system doesnot work in a conventional way The dynamic behaviors ofwind farms may weaken the angle stability of the thermalpower plant even the whole power system Thus the windfarms and the ACDC power transmission system should be
subjected to coordinated control in order to erase negativeeffect caused by the wind farms
3 Mathematical Model for Wind-ThermalHybrid Power Transmission

32 MathematicalModel for DFIG DFIG is actually the rotorasynchronous motor There are symmetrical three-phasewindings on the stator and the rotor The modeling processis similar to that of asynchronous motor and synchronousgenerator in which the primitive equation is confirmed in thethree-phase static coordinate system and then coordinates aretransformed Unlike the modeling of synchronous generator119889119902 coordinates of DFIG can be oriented in different modessuch as stator flux mode rotor flux mode and stator voltagemode And orientation of 119889119902 coordinates of synchronousgenerator is only to take physical location of the rotor In thispaper the stator vector voltage of DFIG is taken as axis 119902In the 119889119902 coordinates system the stator flux (120595

4 Conditions for Quick Adjustment ofthe Wind Farms

119889119903and 119894119902119903are cross-coupled

Equation (5) shows that the response of active currentand reactive current to the control command is the first-orderinertial link Time constant of inertial element is 120591 Typicalparameters of DFIG are substituted into 120591 and we can get it isabout 10ms This means that the single turbine can respondat the level of ms under external control command
42 Quick Adjustment of the Active Power of Wind Farms inTransient Process In the previous research the wind farmswere usually equaled to a single wind turbine [8 11] Obvi-ously they are different Section 41 has already proved thatthe single turbine can respond at the level of ms but whetherthis holds true to the wind farms still needs to be proved
A large-scale wind farm has hundreds of wind turbinesControlling them depends on wide-field communicationtechnology The control system of the wind farms has amaster-slave structure There are two methods of commu-nication (1) one-to-multiple answering transmission and(2) one-to-multiple global broadcast For method (1) as allturbines (200 sets) are slave turbines it means 200 messagesare sent in a controlling cycle For method (2) as everyturbine receives the same message only 1 message is sent in acontrolling cycle
Message transmission presents the following featuressuppose the length of the message is 200 bits and the serialcommunication baud rate is 1Mbps It is calculated that itcosts 02ms to send the message If fiber communicationis adopted for long-distance transmission 15ms should beused in photovoltaic conversion So the total time which isthe delay time of the fiber communication for long-distancetransmission is 17ms Therefore time delay in a controllingcycle in method (1) is 200ms and that in method (2) is17msObviouslymethod (2) is suggested as 17ms timedelaywill not pose significant influence on the closed-loop controlsystem
According to the analysis in Sections 41 and 42 based onglobal broadcast fiber communication technology the windfarms can be an active power source which is able to beadjusted quickly
5 Coordinated Control Strategy of WindFarms and DC Power Transmission System
51 Basic Ideas and Purposes of Coordinated Control Eventhough it may weaken the damping of conventional powerplant and angle stability when the wind farms are con-nected with the thermal power plant the ability of poweradjustment of the wind farms would increase the dampingof synchronous generator and enhance angle stability Basicideas of coordinated control of wind farms and DC powertransmission system are mainly described as follows therevolving speed or the frequency of synchronous generatorof the conventional power plant is fed back to the controllerthen the controlled quantity that can activate small-scaledynamic active power in the wind farms is produced throughgain calculation and phase correction and the dynamic activepower of the wind farms propels the synchronous generatorto produce electromagnetic torque with damping character-istic So the damping can be increased and oscillation canbe restrained The key to supply the synchronous generatorswith the positive damping is that the wind farms must becontrollable and can be controlled quickly

plant is described in Figure 2 Firstly the frequency ofcommon DC-bus of the wind farms (Δ119891
119901119888119888) or speed or
angle of the synchronous generator is collected Secondlythe collected signal passes smooth block and scaling blockand integral link Then the controlled signal of the 119894th windturbine (Δ119906
119902119903119894) is confirmed according to its working state
and the allocation algorithm This controlled signal is sentto the active circuit of each wind turbine through wide-fieldfiber communication network (excitation voltage referencepoint at axis 119902 of 119889119902 decoupling control of the excitationconverter) so that the wind turbines can adjust the activepower synchronically As a result the active power in thetransient process can increase the damping of the syn-chronous generator and prevent low frequency oscillation
Parameter design of damping controller is expressed asfollows the value of 119879
1is set up under the condition that the
low frequency signals are able to pass through and the anglefor compensation is figured out by calculating the dynamicfrequency before adjustment and the values of 119879
2and 119879
3are
calculated based on these values the value of119870 is confirmedaccording to the expected dynamic frequency
When the power transmission system is disturbed themost important thing is to extract fault characteristic quantityand analyze the type and the place of the fault in other wordsto judgewhether it occurs in theDC systemor theAC systemIf the fault occurs in the DC system DC block results in thegreat reduction of power At this moment the active output
of the wind farm should be lowered within controllable timeto protect the synchronous generator from instability Andthe reactive output is captured to prevent abrupt rise of thevoltage and the instability of the wind turbine
When the fault occurs in the AC system the powerreduces substantially The output power of the DC systemshould be increased within set time But the sudden supplyof DC power may increase the demand of reactive power anddecrease AC bus voltage at the converter station Thus thereactive output of the wind farms should be adjusted quicklyto prevent voltage fall At the same time the reactive powerdemand in the transient process is calculated according to theoutput power of DC system and the reactive power is sentfrom the wind farms
6 Modeling and Prototype TestBased on RTDS

61 Simulation of the Wind-Thermal Power Transmission Sys-tem The wind-thermal power transmission system is simu-lated and tested as shown in Figure 3 Compared to the con-ventional power plant each wind turbine has small capacityand the wind farms have a large number of wind power units[19] It is impossible to simulate every turbine set [14] There-fore ldquoequivalent similitude ratiordquo method is adopted in thesimulation In other words the large-scale wind turbine sys-tem is replaced by a relatively small DFIG in which there aremany wind turbine sets closely related to each other Parame-ters are scaled down to a proper proportion Thus a large-scale wind farm is divided into sections and each sectionis simulated by DFIG As a result electromagnetism andtransient process can be better reflected and the process issimplified to make the simulation close to the real situation
The proposed wind-thermal power transmission systemmodel based on RTDS consists of six wind turbines and onesynchronous generator set Wind-thermal capacity is in ratioof 1 15 According to the principle of ldquoequivalent per-unitvalue of parameterrdquo the capacity of the synchronous gener-ator is scaled down to the level of MW The rated capacity ofa DFIG is 22MVA and the rated frequency is 60Hz

71 Experiment Analysis of Damping Characteristic Theexperiment is described as follows rectify excitation param-eters and active power of the synchronous generator to pro-duce weak damping set up three-phase transient circuit faultat the common DC-bus to activate low frequency oscillationand record the speed of the synchronous generator activepower of the wind turbine stator current and rotor current
(1) Record the speed of the synchronous generator andobserve the additional damping control The speed is shownin Figure 5(a) under the condition that the experimentalprototype is not put into operation Compare Figures 5(a)and 5(b) and it is clear that the amplitude of the curve underadditional damping control is smaller and smaller whichpresents good damping characteristic This indicates thatunder additional damping control the damping characteris-tic of the system gets improved
(2) Record the active power of DFIG and analyze theactive power regulation ability of the wind turbine in thetransient process Figure 6(a) shows the real time activepower of DFIG without damping control strategy when shortcircuit occurs Figure 5(b) shows the active power of DFIGunder damping control Compare two figures and it is seenthat when low frequency oscillation occurs in the systemDFIG rectifies its active power according to additional con-trolling signals sent by the experimental device to activate
additional damping control When the experimental deviceis not connected DFIG outputs constant active power onlyaccording to the given value and does not provide anydamping for the synchronous generator
(3) Record the stator current and rotor current of theDFIG and observe the variation of current under additionaldamping control Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show rotor currentof DFIG when the experimental prototype is not put intooperation and when it is Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show thestator current of the DFIG when the experimental prototypeis not put into operation and when it is Compare these foursituations and it is found that the rotor current does not showsignificant change when there is experimental prototype andwhen there is not Although the stator current increasessubstantially when the experimental prototype is availablethe current changes within safe range because it is not directlyconnected with other power electric devices It indicates thatadditional damping control would not bring negative effectto the wind turbine and the system
From the results it is seen that the active power of eachwind turbine in the wind farms can be concentrated to beadjusted based on the integrated control platform of thewind farms and the technology of wide-field communicationWhen the system is working under weak damping theaction of additional damping control is excited to increasethe damping of the system and prevents low frequencyoscillation At the same time there is no negative influenceon the wind turbine and the system which proves thatthe method is available In addition wind-thermal ratio isan important factor influencing the damping effect If theratio is too small the damping effect is limited Compulsorydamping may lead to overload of the rotor
72 Experimental Analysis of Angle Stability
721 Fault Analysis of the Wind Farms After the large-scalewind farms are connected to the power system the overallstability of the power system declines greatly An experimentis carried out to find out reasons The wind farms in Figure 3are replaced by a thermal power plant (SG1) of the same levelSG and SG1 constitute a large-scale thermal power plantFault simulation is compared between the single thermalpower plant and the wind-thermal hybrid power system tosee how the wind farms affect the stability of the powersystem Assume that short circuit fault occurs on AC (B3-B4) for 03 s Simulation results under two power modes areshown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b)
From Figure 8(a) it is seen that after short circuit faultoccurs two thermal power plants have experienced an abruptdecline of power The active power of SG and SG1 is reducedto 011 pu respectively It suggests that the power decline isshared between two thermal power plants From Figure 8(b)it is found that after short circuit fault happens the powerof SG is decreased to 022 pu but that of the wind farmsremains unchanged It suggests that the power decline occursonly in the thermal power plant rather than both This is notconductive to the thermal power plant and may result in itspower-angle instability Thus a coordinated control strategyis proposed to address the power imbalance during the fault

Figure 1 ACDC power system with wind farms incorporated
doubly fed wind farms and DC power transmission system isestablished And it is proved that active power in the large-scale wind farms is controllable Thirdly for the purpose ofincreasing damping of the system and enhancing angel sta-bility a coordinated control strategy for wind farms and DCpower transmission system is proposed Finally the experi-mental prototype is made and the control effect of the experi-mental prototype is also introduced in detail
2 ACDC Power Transmission SystemIncorporating Wind Farms
Chinese large-scale wind farms are usually located at remoteareas Due to small load capacity power generated by thelarge-scale wind farms cannot be consumed So long-distancetransmission is an inevitable solution But as the wind poweris not constant long-distance transmission is costly if windpower is the only thing to transmit And irregular fluctuationof the wind power would make the grid unstable So at thepresent time a hybrid transmission mode of wind farms andthermal power plant (also named as wind-thermal hybridpower system) [9] is the main form of transmission as isshown in Figure 1 To be more specific wind farms are con-nected with the thermal power plant nearby and the power istransmitted to other areas by extra high voltage (EHV) line
Wind-thermal hybrid power transmission mode is forlong-distance transmission But as the utilization hours ofwind power are lesser than the conventional thermal powerplant the transmission channel capacity of wind power isdesigned lower than the maximum power When large-scalewind power is generated the transmission line will be heavilyloaded and the thermal power plant also functions in aheavy-load state resulting in low frequency oscillation Inaddition vector control of the turbine may pose influence ondamping [10] It is also worth noticing that the thermal powerunit bonded with the wind farms is responsible for curbingwind power fluctuation So the adjustment for the unit isfrequent which would damage the power system stabilizer(PSS) [11] and hamper damping characteristic Thereforeeffective measures on damping should be taken to ensure safeoperation of the wind-thermal power transmission system
In addition the wind-thermal hybrid power system doesnot work in a conventional way The dynamic behaviors ofwind farms may weaken the angle stability of the thermalpower plant even the whole power system Thus the windfarms and the ACDC power transmission system should be
subjected to coordinated control in order to erase negativeeffect caused by the wind farms
3 Mathematical Model for Wind-ThermalHybrid Power Transmission
31 Wind Turbine System The mechanical part of the windturbine system includes wind turbine transmission shaftand gearbox Wind turbine is used to capture wind energythrough the turbines and transform it to the mechanicaltorque on the wheel hub The shaft and gearbox is used topass the driven force of the wind turbine to the generator andincrease the revolving speedThe gear ratio can reach 100 Tosimplify calculation themechanical part is regarded as a con-centrated mass expressed by first-order inertial element [8]

32 MathematicalModel for DFIG DFIG is actually the rotorasynchronous motor There are symmetrical three-phasewindings on the stator and the rotor The modeling processis similar to that of asynchronous motor and synchronousgenerator in which the primitive equation is confirmed in thethree-phase static coordinate system and then coordinates aretransformed Unlike the modeling of synchronous generator119889119902 coordinates of DFIG can be oriented in different modessuch as stator flux mode rotor flux mode and stator voltagemode And orientation of 119889119902 coordinates of synchronousgenerator is only to take physical location of the rotor In thispaper the stator vector voltage of DFIG is taken as axis 119902In the 119889119902 coordinates system the stator flux (120595

4 Conditions for Quick Adjustment ofthe Wind Farms

119889119903and 119894119902119903are cross-coupled
so feedforward compensation scheme is usually adopted torealize decoupling control The feedforward compensation iscalculated from rotor current and internal flux variables

Equation (5) shows that the response of active currentand reactive current to the control command is the first-orderinertial link Time constant of inertial element is 120591 Typicalparameters of DFIG are substituted into 120591 and we can get it isabout 10ms This means that the single turbine can respondat the level of ms under external control command
42 Quick Adjustment of the Active Power of Wind Farms inTransient Process In the previous research the wind farmswere usually equaled to a single wind turbine [8 11] Obvi-ously they are different Section 41 has already proved thatthe single turbine can respond at the level of ms but whetherthis holds true to the wind farms still needs to be proved
A large-scale wind farm has hundreds of wind turbinesControlling them depends on wide-field communicationtechnology The control system of the wind farms has amaster-slave structure There are two methods of commu-nication (1) one-to-multiple answering transmission and(2) one-to-multiple global broadcast For method (1) as allturbines (200 sets) are slave turbines it means 200 messagesare sent in a controlling cycle For method (2) as everyturbine receives the same message only 1 message is sent in acontrolling cycle
Message transmission presents the following featuressuppose the length of the message is 200 bits and the serialcommunication baud rate is 1Mbps It is calculated that itcosts 02ms to send the message If fiber communicationis adopted for long-distance transmission 15ms should beused in photovoltaic conversion So the total time which isthe delay time of the fiber communication for long-distancetransmission is 17ms Therefore time delay in a controllingcycle in method (1) is 200ms and that in method (2) is17msObviouslymethod (2) is suggested as 17ms timedelaywill not pose significant influence on the closed-loop controlsystem
According to the analysis in Sections 41 and 42 based onglobal broadcast fiber communication technology the windfarms can be an active power source which is able to beadjusted quickly
5 Coordinated Control Strategy of WindFarms and DC Power Transmission System
51 Basic Ideas and Purposes of Coordinated Control Eventhough it may weaken the damping of conventional powerplant and angle stability when the wind farms are con-nected with the thermal power plant the ability of poweradjustment of the wind farms would increase the dampingof synchronous generator and enhance angle stability Basicideas of coordinated control of wind farms and DC powertransmission system are mainly described as follows therevolving speed or the frequency of synchronous generatorof the conventional power plant is fed back to the controllerthen the controlled quantity that can activate small-scaledynamic active power in the wind farms is produced throughgain calculation and phase correction and the dynamic activepower of the wind farms propels the synchronous generatorto produce electromagnetic torque with damping character-istic So the damping can be increased and oscillation canbe restrained The key to supply the synchronous generatorswith the positive damping is that the wind farms must becontrollable and can be controlled quickly

Figure 2 Coordinated control strategy framework
plant is described in Figure 2 Firstly the frequency ofcommon DC-bus of the wind farms (Δ119891
119901119888119888) or speed or
angle of the synchronous generator is collected Secondlythe collected signal passes smooth block and scaling blockand integral link Then the controlled signal of the 119894th windturbine (Δ119906
119902119903119894) is confirmed according to its working state
and the allocation algorithm This controlled signal is sentto the active circuit of each wind turbine through wide-fieldfiber communication network (excitation voltage referencepoint at axis 119902 of 119889119902 decoupling control of the excitationconverter) so that the wind turbines can adjust the activepower synchronically As a result the active power in thetransient process can increase the damping of the syn-chronous generator and prevent low frequency oscillation
Parameter design of damping controller is expressed asfollows the value of 119879
1is set up under the condition that the
low frequency signals are able to pass through and the anglefor compensation is figured out by calculating the dynamicfrequency before adjustment and the values of 119879
2and 119879
3are
calculated based on these values the value of119870 is confirmedaccording to the expected dynamic frequency
When the power transmission system is disturbed themost important thing is to extract fault characteristic quantityand analyze the type and the place of the fault in other wordsto judgewhether it occurs in theDC systemor theAC systemIf the fault occurs in the DC system DC block results in thegreat reduction of power At this moment the active output
of the wind farm should be lowered within controllable timeto protect the synchronous generator from instability Andthe reactive output is captured to prevent abrupt rise of thevoltage and the instability of the wind turbine
When the fault occurs in the AC system the powerreduces substantially The output power of the DC systemshould be increased within set time But the sudden supplyof DC power may increase the demand of reactive power anddecrease AC bus voltage at the converter station Thus thereactive output of the wind farms should be adjusted quicklyto prevent voltage fall At the same time the reactive powerdemand in the transient process is calculated according to theoutput power of DC system and the reactive power is sentfrom the wind farms
6 Modeling and Prototype TestBased on RTDS
An experimental prototype is designed according to the coor-dinated control strategy frameworkmentioned in Section 52To test the coordinated control strategy and verify the effec-tiveness of the experimental prototype ldquohardware in-the-loop simulationrdquo is conducted The experimental prototypeis the real object and the wind-thermal power transmissionsystem is the visual object based on Real Time Digital System(RTDS)

61 Simulation of the Wind-Thermal Power Transmission Sys-tem The wind-thermal power transmission system is simu-lated and tested as shown in Figure 3 Compared to the con-ventional power plant each wind turbine has small capacityand the wind farms have a large number of wind power units[19] It is impossible to simulate every turbine set [14] There-fore ldquoequivalent similitude ratiordquo method is adopted in thesimulation In other words the large-scale wind turbine sys-tem is replaced by a relatively small DFIG in which there aremany wind turbine sets closely related to each other Parame-ters are scaled down to a proper proportion Thus a large-scale wind farm is divided into sections and each sectionis simulated by DFIG As a result electromagnetism andtransient process can be better reflected and the process issimplified to make the simulation close to the real situation
The proposed wind-thermal power transmission systemmodel based on RTDS consists of six wind turbines and onesynchronous generator set Wind-thermal capacity is in ratioof 1 15 According to the principle of ldquoequivalent per-unitvalue of parameterrdquo the capacity of the synchronous gener-ator is scaled down to the level of MW The rated capacity ofa DFIG is 22MVA and the rated frequency is 60Hz
In Figure 3 parameters of the DFIG are as follows statorwinding resistance is 000462 pu stator leakage inductanceis 0102 pu rotor winding resistance is 000736 rotor leakageinductance is 011 pu and stator and rotormutual inductanceis 262 pu parameters of synchronous generator are (refer toliterature [16] for name and physical definition)

62 RTDS Hardware Requirement and Calculation Assign-ment RTDS hardware has the following requirement 10processors (GPC-PB5) of 2 RACKs and 1 12-channel analoginput card (GTAO) are used in the whole model RTDS isthe real time simulation equipment and the processors mustbe properly allocated whenmodeling To enhance simulationaccuracy small-step (lt2 us) RTDSRSCAD system is used asthe carrier ofDFIG systemmodel Eachmodel includesDFIGandPWMfrequency converter and transformer Small-step isset up in the VSCmodule in the small-step model base EachVSC module has a corresponding processor (GPC-PB5) Soamong 10 processors 6 of them correspond to 6 DFIGsrsquomodels respectively and the remaining 4 are for controllingcalculation and the synchronous generator simulation andthe grid simulation

71 Experiment Analysis of Damping Characteristic Theexperiment is described as follows rectify excitation param-eters and active power of the synchronous generator to pro-duce weak damping set up three-phase transient circuit faultat the common DC-bus to activate low frequency oscillationand record the speed of the synchronous generator activepower of the wind turbine stator current and rotor current
(1) Record the speed of the synchronous generator andobserve the additional damping control The speed is shownin Figure 5(a) under the condition that the experimentalprototype is not put into operation Compare Figures 5(a)and 5(b) and it is clear that the amplitude of the curve underadditional damping control is smaller and smaller whichpresents good damping characteristic This indicates thatunder additional damping control the damping characteris-tic of the system gets improved
(2) Record the active power of DFIG and analyze theactive power regulation ability of the wind turbine in thetransient process Figure 6(a) shows the real time activepower of DFIG without damping control strategy when shortcircuit occurs Figure 5(b) shows the active power of DFIGunder damping control Compare two figures and it is seenthat when low frequency oscillation occurs in the systemDFIG rectifies its active power according to additional con-trolling signals sent by the experimental device to activate
additional damping control When the experimental deviceis not connected DFIG outputs constant active power onlyaccording to the given value and does not provide anydamping for the synchronous generator
(3) Record the stator current and rotor current of theDFIG and observe the variation of current under additionaldamping control Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show rotor currentof DFIG when the experimental prototype is not put intooperation and when it is Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show thestator current of the DFIG when the experimental prototypeis not put into operation and when it is Compare these foursituations and it is found that the rotor current does not showsignificant change when there is experimental prototype andwhen there is not Although the stator current increasessubstantially when the experimental prototype is availablethe current changes within safe range because it is not directlyconnected with other power electric devices It indicates thatadditional damping control would not bring negative effectto the wind turbine and the system
From the results it is seen that the active power of eachwind turbine in the wind farms can be concentrated to beadjusted based on the integrated control platform of thewind farms and the technology of wide-field communicationWhen the system is working under weak damping theaction of additional damping control is excited to increasethe damping of the system and prevents low frequencyoscillation At the same time there is no negative influenceon the wind turbine and the system which proves thatthe method is available In addition wind-thermal ratio isan important factor influencing the damping effect If theratio is too small the damping effect is limited Compulsorydamping may lead to overload of the rotor
72 Experimental Analysis of Angle Stability
721 Fault Analysis of the Wind Farms After the large-scalewind farms are connected to the power system the overallstability of the power system declines greatly An experimentis carried out to find out reasons The wind farms in Figure 3are replaced by a thermal power plant (SG1) of the same levelSG and SG1 constitute a large-scale thermal power plantFault simulation is compared between the single thermalpower plant and the wind-thermal hybrid power system tosee how the wind farms affect the stability of the powersystem Assume that short circuit fault occurs on AC (B3-B4) for 03 s Simulation results under two power modes areshown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b)
From Figure 8(a) it is seen that after short circuit faultoccurs two thermal power plants have experienced an abruptdecline of power The active power of SG and SG1 is reducedto 011 pu respectively It suggests that the power decline isshared between two thermal power plants From Figure 8(b)it is found that after short circuit fault happens the powerof SG is decreased to 022 pu but that of the wind farmsremains unchanged It suggests that the power decline occursonly in the thermal power plant rather than both This is notconductive to the thermal power plant and may result in itspower-angle instability Thus a coordinated control strategyis proposed to address the power imbalance during the fault

Equation (5) shows that the response of active currentand reactive current to the control command is the first-orderinertial link Time constant of inertial element is 120591 Typicalparameters of DFIG are substituted into 120591 and we can get it isabout 10ms This means that the single turbine can respondat the level of ms under external control command
42 Quick Adjustment of the Active Power of Wind Farms inTransient Process In the previous research the wind farmswere usually equaled to a single wind turbine [8 11] Obvi-ously they are different Section 41 has already proved thatthe single turbine can respond at the level of ms but whetherthis holds true to the wind farms still needs to be proved
A large-scale wind farm has hundreds of wind turbinesControlling them depends on wide-field communicationtechnology The control system of the wind farms has amaster-slave structure There are two methods of commu-nication (1) one-to-multiple answering transmission and(2) one-to-multiple global broadcast For method (1) as allturbines (200 sets) are slave turbines it means 200 messagesare sent in a controlling cycle For method (2) as everyturbine receives the same message only 1 message is sent in acontrolling cycle
Message transmission presents the following featuressuppose the length of the message is 200 bits and the serialcommunication baud rate is 1Mbps It is calculated that itcosts 02ms to send the message If fiber communicationis adopted for long-distance transmission 15ms should beused in photovoltaic conversion So the total time which isthe delay time of the fiber communication for long-distancetransmission is 17ms Therefore time delay in a controllingcycle in method (1) is 200ms and that in method (2) is17msObviouslymethod (2) is suggested as 17ms timedelaywill not pose significant influence on the closed-loop controlsystem
According to the analysis in Sections 41 and 42 based onglobal broadcast fiber communication technology the windfarms can be an active power source which is able to beadjusted quickly
5 Coordinated Control Strategy of WindFarms and DC Power Transmission System
51 Basic Ideas and Purposes of Coordinated Control Eventhough it may weaken the damping of conventional powerplant and angle stability when the wind farms are con-nected with the thermal power plant the ability of poweradjustment of the wind farms would increase the dampingof synchronous generator and enhance angle stability Basicideas of coordinated control of wind farms and DC powertransmission system are mainly described as follows therevolving speed or the frequency of synchronous generatorof the conventional power plant is fed back to the controllerthen the controlled quantity that can activate small-scaledynamic active power in the wind farms is produced throughgain calculation and phase correction and the dynamic activepower of the wind farms propels the synchronous generatorto produce electromagnetic torque with damping character-istic So the damping can be increased and oscillation canbe restrained The key to supply the synchronous generatorswith the positive damping is that the wind farms must becontrollable and can be controlled quickly
52 Technical Framework of Coordinated Control Based onthe controllability of the wind farms and DC transmissionsystem the damping control principle of the thermal power

Figure 2 Coordinated control strategy framework
plant is described in Figure 2 Firstly the frequency ofcommon DC-bus of the wind farms (Δ119891
119901119888119888) or speed or
angle of the synchronous generator is collected Secondlythe collected signal passes smooth block and scaling blockand integral link Then the controlled signal of the 119894th windturbine (Δ119906
119902119903119894) is confirmed according to its working state
and the allocation algorithm This controlled signal is sentto the active circuit of each wind turbine through wide-fieldfiber communication network (excitation voltage referencepoint at axis 119902 of 119889119902 decoupling control of the excitationconverter) so that the wind turbines can adjust the activepower synchronically As a result the active power in thetransient process can increase the damping of the syn-chronous generator and prevent low frequency oscillation
Parameter design of damping controller is expressed asfollows the value of 119879
1is set up under the condition that the
low frequency signals are able to pass through and the anglefor compensation is figured out by calculating the dynamicfrequency before adjustment and the values of 119879
2and 119879
3are
calculated based on these values the value of119870 is confirmedaccording to the expected dynamic frequency
When the power transmission system is disturbed themost important thing is to extract fault characteristic quantityand analyze the type and the place of the fault in other wordsto judgewhether it occurs in theDC systemor theAC systemIf the fault occurs in the DC system DC block results in thegreat reduction of power At this moment the active output
of the wind farm should be lowered within controllable timeto protect the synchronous generator from instability Andthe reactive output is captured to prevent abrupt rise of thevoltage and the instability of the wind turbine
When the fault occurs in the AC system the powerreduces substantially The output power of the DC systemshould be increased within set time But the sudden supplyof DC power may increase the demand of reactive power anddecrease AC bus voltage at the converter station Thus thereactive output of the wind farms should be adjusted quicklyto prevent voltage fall At the same time the reactive powerdemand in the transient process is calculated according to theoutput power of DC system and the reactive power is sentfrom the wind farms
6 Modeling and Prototype TestBased on RTDS
An experimental prototype is designed according to the coor-dinated control strategy frameworkmentioned in Section 52To test the coordinated control strategy and verify the effec-tiveness of the experimental prototype ldquohardware in-the-loop simulationrdquo is conducted The experimental prototypeis the real object and the wind-thermal power transmissionsystem is the visual object based on Real Time Digital System(RTDS)

61 Simulation of the Wind-Thermal Power Transmission Sys-tem The wind-thermal power transmission system is simu-lated and tested as shown in Figure 3 Compared to the con-ventional power plant each wind turbine has small capacityand the wind farms have a large number of wind power units[19] It is impossible to simulate every turbine set [14] There-fore ldquoequivalent similitude ratiordquo method is adopted in thesimulation In other words the large-scale wind turbine sys-tem is replaced by a relatively small DFIG in which there aremany wind turbine sets closely related to each other Parame-ters are scaled down to a proper proportion Thus a large-scale wind farm is divided into sections and each sectionis simulated by DFIG As a result electromagnetism andtransient process can be better reflected and the process issimplified to make the simulation close to the real situation
The proposed wind-thermal power transmission systemmodel based on RTDS consists of six wind turbines and onesynchronous generator set Wind-thermal capacity is in ratioof 1 15 According to the principle of ldquoequivalent per-unitvalue of parameterrdquo the capacity of the synchronous gener-ator is scaled down to the level of MW The rated capacity ofa DFIG is 22MVA and the rated frequency is 60Hz
In Figure 3 parameters of the DFIG are as follows statorwinding resistance is 000462 pu stator leakage inductanceis 0102 pu rotor winding resistance is 000736 rotor leakageinductance is 011 pu and stator and rotormutual inductanceis 262 pu parameters of synchronous generator are (refer toliterature [16] for name and physical definition)

62 RTDS Hardware Requirement and Calculation Assign-ment RTDS hardware has the following requirement 10processors (GPC-PB5) of 2 RACKs and 1 12-channel analoginput card (GTAO) are used in the whole model RTDS isthe real time simulation equipment and the processors mustbe properly allocated whenmodeling To enhance simulationaccuracy small-step (lt2 us) RTDSRSCAD system is used asthe carrier ofDFIG systemmodel Eachmodel includesDFIGandPWMfrequency converter and transformer Small-step isset up in the VSCmodule in the small-step model base EachVSC module has a corresponding processor (GPC-PB5) Soamong 10 processors 6 of them correspond to 6 DFIGsrsquomodels respectively and the remaining 4 are for controllingcalculation and the synchronous generator simulation andthe grid simulation

7 Joint Debugging of ExperimentalDevice and RTDS
71 Experiment Analysis of Damping Characteristic Theexperiment is described as follows rectify excitation param-eters and active power of the synchronous generator to pro-duce weak damping set up three-phase transient circuit faultat the common DC-bus to activate low frequency oscillationand record the speed of the synchronous generator activepower of the wind turbine stator current and rotor current
(1) Record the speed of the synchronous generator andobserve the additional damping control The speed is shownin Figure 5(a) under the condition that the experimentalprototype is not put into operation Compare Figures 5(a)and 5(b) and it is clear that the amplitude of the curve underadditional damping control is smaller and smaller whichpresents good damping characteristic This indicates thatunder additional damping control the damping characteris-tic of the system gets improved
(2) Record the active power of DFIG and analyze theactive power regulation ability of the wind turbine in thetransient process Figure 6(a) shows the real time activepower of DFIG without damping control strategy when shortcircuit occurs Figure 5(b) shows the active power of DFIGunder damping control Compare two figures and it is seenthat when low frequency oscillation occurs in the systemDFIG rectifies its active power according to additional con-trolling signals sent by the experimental device to activate
additional damping control When the experimental deviceis not connected DFIG outputs constant active power onlyaccording to the given value and does not provide anydamping for the synchronous generator
(3) Record the stator current and rotor current of theDFIG and observe the variation of current under additionaldamping control Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show rotor currentof DFIG when the experimental prototype is not put intooperation and when it is Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show thestator current of the DFIG when the experimental prototypeis not put into operation and when it is Compare these foursituations and it is found that the rotor current does not showsignificant change when there is experimental prototype andwhen there is not Although the stator current increasessubstantially when the experimental prototype is availablethe current changes within safe range because it is not directlyconnected with other power electric devices It indicates thatadditional damping control would not bring negative effectto the wind turbine and the system
From the results it is seen that the active power of eachwind turbine in the wind farms can be concentrated to beadjusted based on the integrated control platform of thewind farms and the technology of wide-field communicationWhen the system is working under weak damping theaction of additional damping control is excited to increasethe damping of the system and prevents low frequencyoscillation At the same time there is no negative influenceon the wind turbine and the system which proves thatthe method is available In addition wind-thermal ratio isan important factor influencing the damping effect If theratio is too small the damping effect is limited Compulsorydamping may lead to overload of the rotor
72 Experimental Analysis of Angle Stability
721 Fault Analysis of the Wind Farms After the large-scalewind farms are connected to the power system the overallstability of the power system declines greatly An experimentis carried out to find out reasons The wind farms in Figure 3are replaced by a thermal power plant (SG1) of the same levelSG and SG1 constitute a large-scale thermal power plantFault simulation is compared between the single thermalpower plant and the wind-thermal hybrid power system tosee how the wind farms affect the stability of the powersystem Assume that short circuit fault occurs on AC (B3-B4) for 03 s Simulation results under two power modes areshown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b)
From Figure 8(a) it is seen that after short circuit faultoccurs two thermal power plants have experienced an abruptdecline of power The active power of SG and SG1 is reducedto 011 pu respectively It suggests that the power decline isshared between two thermal power plants From Figure 8(b)it is found that after short circuit fault happens the powerof SG is decreased to 022 pu but that of the wind farmsremains unchanged It suggests that the power decline occursonly in the thermal power plant rather than both This is notconductive to the thermal power plant and may result in itspower-angle instability Thus a coordinated control strategyis proposed to address the power imbalance during the fault

and the allocation algorithm This controlled signal is sentto the active circuit of each wind turbine through wide-fieldfiber communication network (excitation voltage referencepoint at axis 119902 of 119889119902 decoupling control of the excitationconverter) so that the wind turbines can adjust the activepower synchronically As a result the active power in thetransient process can increase the damping of the syn-chronous generator and prevent low frequency oscillation
Parameter design of damping controller is expressed asfollows the value of 119879
1is set up under the condition that the
low frequency signals are able to pass through and the anglefor compensation is figured out by calculating the dynamicfrequency before adjustment and the values of 119879
2and 119879
3are
calculated based on these values the value of119870 is confirmedaccording to the expected dynamic frequency
When the power transmission system is disturbed themost important thing is to extract fault characteristic quantityand analyze the type and the place of the fault in other wordsto judgewhether it occurs in theDC systemor theAC systemIf the fault occurs in the DC system DC block results in thegreat reduction of power At this moment the active output
of the wind farm should be lowered within controllable timeto protect the synchronous generator from instability Andthe reactive output is captured to prevent abrupt rise of thevoltage and the instability of the wind turbine
When the fault occurs in the AC system the powerreduces substantially The output power of the DC systemshould be increased within set time But the sudden supplyof DC power may increase the demand of reactive power anddecrease AC bus voltage at the converter station Thus thereactive output of the wind farms should be adjusted quicklyto prevent voltage fall At the same time the reactive powerdemand in the transient process is calculated according to theoutput power of DC system and the reactive power is sentfrom the wind farms
6 Modeling and Prototype TestBased on RTDS
An experimental prototype is designed according to the coor-dinated control strategy frameworkmentioned in Section 52To test the coordinated control strategy and verify the effec-tiveness of the experimental prototype ldquohardware in-the-loop simulationrdquo is conducted The experimental prototypeis the real object and the wind-thermal power transmissionsystem is the visual object based on Real Time Digital System(RTDS)

71 Experiment Analysis of Damping Characteristic Theexperiment is described as follows rectify excitation param-eters and active power of the synchronous generator to pro-duce weak damping set up three-phase transient circuit faultat the common DC-bus to activate low frequency oscillationand record the speed of the synchronous generator activepower of the wind turbine stator current and rotor current
(1) Record the speed of the synchronous generator andobserve the additional damping control The speed is shownin Figure 5(a) under the condition that the experimentalprototype is not put into operation Compare Figures 5(a)and 5(b) and it is clear that the amplitude of the curve underadditional damping control is smaller and smaller whichpresents good damping characteristic This indicates thatunder additional damping control the damping characteris-tic of the system gets improved
(2) Record the active power of DFIG and analyze theactive power regulation ability of the wind turbine in thetransient process Figure 6(a) shows the real time activepower of DFIG without damping control strategy when shortcircuit occurs Figure 5(b) shows the active power of DFIGunder damping control Compare two figures and it is seenthat when low frequency oscillation occurs in the systemDFIG rectifies its active power according to additional con-trolling signals sent by the experimental device to activate
additional damping control When the experimental deviceis not connected DFIG outputs constant active power onlyaccording to the given value and does not provide anydamping for the synchronous generator
(3) Record the stator current and rotor current of theDFIG and observe the variation of current under additionaldamping control Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show rotor currentof DFIG when the experimental prototype is not put intooperation and when it is Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show thestator current of the DFIG when the experimental prototypeis not put into operation and when it is Compare these foursituations and it is found that the rotor current does not showsignificant change when there is experimental prototype andwhen there is not Although the stator current increasessubstantially when the experimental prototype is availablethe current changes within safe range because it is not directlyconnected with other power electric devices It indicates thatadditional damping control would not bring negative effectto the wind turbine and the system
From the results it is seen that the active power of eachwind turbine in the wind farms can be concentrated to beadjusted based on the integrated control platform of thewind farms and the technology of wide-field communicationWhen the system is working under weak damping theaction of additional damping control is excited to increasethe damping of the system and prevents low frequencyoscillation At the same time there is no negative influenceon the wind turbine and the system which proves thatthe method is available In addition wind-thermal ratio isan important factor influencing the damping effect If theratio is too small the damping effect is limited Compulsorydamping may lead to overload of the rotor
72 Experimental Analysis of Angle Stability
721 Fault Analysis of the Wind Farms After the large-scalewind farms are connected to the power system the overallstability of the power system declines greatly An experimentis carried out to find out reasons The wind farms in Figure 3are replaced by a thermal power plant (SG1) of the same levelSG and SG1 constitute a large-scale thermal power plantFault simulation is compared between the single thermalpower plant and the wind-thermal hybrid power system tosee how the wind farms affect the stability of the powersystem Assume that short circuit fault occurs on AC (B3-B4) for 03 s Simulation results under two power modes areshown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b)
From Figure 8(a) it is seen that after short circuit faultoccurs two thermal power plants have experienced an abruptdecline of power The active power of SG and SG1 is reducedto 011 pu respectively It suggests that the power decline isshared between two thermal power plants From Figure 8(b)it is found that after short circuit fault happens the powerof SG is decreased to 022 pu but that of the wind farmsremains unchanged It suggests that the power decline occursonly in the thermal power plant rather than both This is notconductive to the thermal power plant and may result in itspower-angle instability Thus a coordinated control strategyis proposed to address the power imbalance during the fault

From Figure 8(a) it is seen that after short circuit faultoccurs two thermal power plants have experienced an abruptdecline of power The active power of SG and SG1 is reducedto 011 pu respectively It suggests that the power decline isshared between two thermal power plants From Figure 8(b)it is found that after short circuit fault happens the powerof SG is decreased to 022 pu but that of the wind farmsremains unchanged It suggests that the power decline occursonly in the thermal power plant rather than both This is notconductive to the thermal power plant and may result in itspower-angle instability Thus a coordinated control strategyis proposed to address the power imbalance during the fault

Figure 4 Joint debugging of the experimental prototype and RTDS
fiber channel the photoelectric conversion module and the3 km single-mode fiber are set up in the experimental deviceThe additional damping control signals are produced after thesignals collected from RTDS are processed through the datamanagement module and the algorithm producing moduleThen the additional damping control signals are connectedto GTAI of RTDS through profibus and photoelectricmoduleto control the stability of the system
In Figure 3 the first-order part of DC power transmissionsystem is simulated by RTDS and the controller of DCpower transmission system is a special controlling systemdeveloped on DPS3000 platform It is connected with RTDSthrough signal cable After the connection RTDS and theexperimental device construct a closed controlling system inwhich the experimental device is the controller and RTDS isbeing controlled as is shown in Figure 4
7 Joint Debugging of ExperimentalDevice and RTDS
71 Experiment Analysis of Damping Characteristic Theexperiment is described as follows rectify excitation param-eters and active power of the synchronous generator to pro-duce weak damping set up three-phase transient circuit faultat the common DC-bus to activate low frequency oscillationand record the speed of the synchronous generator activepower of the wind turbine stator current and rotor current
(1) Record the speed of the synchronous generator andobserve the additional damping control The speed is shownin Figure 5(a) under the condition that the experimentalprototype is not put into operation Compare Figures 5(a)and 5(b) and it is clear that the amplitude of the curve underadditional damping control is smaller and smaller whichpresents good damping characteristic This indicates thatunder additional damping control the damping characteris-tic of the system gets improved
(2) Record the active power of DFIG and analyze theactive power regulation ability of the wind turbine in thetransient process Figure 6(a) shows the real time activepower of DFIG without damping control strategy when shortcircuit occurs Figure 5(b) shows the active power of DFIGunder damping control Compare two figures and it is seenthat when low frequency oscillation occurs in the systemDFIG rectifies its active power according to additional con-trolling signals sent by the experimental device to activate
additional damping control When the experimental deviceis not connected DFIG outputs constant active power onlyaccording to the given value and does not provide anydamping for the synchronous generator
(3) Record the stator current and rotor current of theDFIG and observe the variation of current under additionaldamping control Figures 6(a) and 6(b) show rotor currentof DFIG when the experimental prototype is not put intooperation and when it is Figures 7(a) and 7(b) show thestator current of the DFIG when the experimental prototypeis not put into operation and when it is Compare these foursituations and it is found that the rotor current does not showsignificant change when there is experimental prototype andwhen there is not Although the stator current increasessubstantially when the experimental prototype is availablethe current changes within safe range because it is not directlyconnected with other power electric devices It indicates thatadditional damping control would not bring negative effectto the wind turbine and the system
From the results it is seen that the active power of eachwind turbine in the wind farms can be concentrated to beadjusted based on the integrated control platform of thewind farms and the technology of wide-field communicationWhen the system is working under weak damping theaction of additional damping control is excited to increasethe damping of the system and prevents low frequencyoscillation At the same time there is no negative influenceon the wind turbine and the system which proves thatthe method is available In addition wind-thermal ratio isan important factor influencing the damping effect If theratio is too small the damping effect is limited Compulsorydamping may lead to overload of the rotor

721 Fault Analysis of the Wind Farms After the large-scalewind farms are connected to the power system the overallstability of the power system declines greatly An experimentis carried out to find out reasons The wind farms in Figure 3are replaced by a thermal power plant (SG1) of the same levelSG and SG1 constitute a large-scale thermal power plantFault simulation is compared between the single thermalpower plant and the wind-thermal hybrid power system tosee how the wind farms affect the stability of the powersystem Assume that short circuit fault occurs on AC (B3-B4) for 03 s Simulation results under two power modes areshown in Figures 8(a) and 8(b)
From Figure 8(a) it is seen that after short circuit faultoccurs two thermal power plants have experienced an abruptdecline of power The active power of SG and SG1 is reducedto 011 pu respectively It suggests that the power decline isshared between two thermal power plants From Figure 8(b)it is found that after short circuit fault happens the powerof SG is decreased to 022 pu but that of the wind farmsremains unchanged It suggests that the power decline occursonly in the thermal power plant rather than both This is notconductive to the thermal power plant and may result in itspower-angle instability Thus a coordinated control strategyis proposed to address the power imbalance during the fault

8 Conclusion
Conclusions can be drawn as follows
(1) The active power and the reactive power of DFIGhave quick responses Under the support of wide-fieldoptical fiber network doubly fed wind farms can beadjusted quickly
(2) Quick adjustment of the active power of doubly fedwind farms is accomplished which can restrain thelow frequency oscillation of the thermal power unitand can supply the positive damping to the unit
(3) Through coordinated control for wind farms and DCpower transmission system the transient stability ofthe hybrid power system can be enhanced
(4) The experimental prototype and RTDS are connectedfor joint debugging Results show that the experi-mental prototype can pose significant damping effecton thermal power plant and lower the risk of lowfrequency oscillation of the grid The experimentalprototype can also enhance the transient stability ofhybrid ACDC power transmission system
