Description
Summary:The increasing wind integration in present grids to generate clean energy escalates the problem of low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) in the system. Here, a wide area-based coordinated control strategy of power system stabilisers (PSSs) and doubly fed induction generator's (DFIGs) power oscillation dampers (PODs) is presented to improve the system damping. An improved eigenvalue-based objective function is employed to optimally tune the variables of the controller using whale optimisation algorithm (WOA). The impact of DFIG location and thus the suitable wind farm locations are also found out using eigenvalue analysis and dynamic sensitivity analysis. The results are investigated on IEEE 68 bus test system highlighting the effectiveness of proposed strategy for a wide range of operating scenarios.
