Description
Summary:Abstract The ultra‐low frequency oscillation (ULFO) imposes an emerging stability challenge to the high proportion of hydropower grids. To suppress ULFO without reducing the primary frequency regulation of the hydro governor, a novel idea to exploit the voltage regulation effect of load is implemented. First, the additional damping controller is designed and configured in static var compensator (SVC), and the frequency analysis model considering the configuration of SVC as well as damping controller is established. Based on the model, the specific influence of SVC and controller on ULFO is analysed through eigenvalue calculation. In addition, the influence of various load models and SVC location on the damping level are further studied. Consequently, a parameter optimization design method for SVC additional damping control is proposed, it is modelled as the optimization problem of damping ratio in ULFO mode under multi‐operation conditions, which is solved by a particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the designed SVC additional damping controller is verified in the improved four‐machine two‐area power system and the actual power grid in China.
