Abstract

Series-Compensated Transmission Lines (SCTLs) are widely used for connection of large scale wind power plants (WPPs) to the power system to transmit the active power generated from WPPs. However, it can lead to sub synchronous resonance (SSR) phenomena in WPPs connected with SCTLs. Also, capacitive compensation of transmission lines reduces the line impedance, which leads to increasing short circuit current level in WPPs. This study proposes the resistive bridge-type fault current limiter (RBFCL) for SSR mitigation and limiting short circuit current in WPPs connected with SCTLs. Also, its performance is compared with the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the RBFCL in terms of SSR mitigation. The WPP used in this paper is modelled based on an aggregated squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG) derived by an aggregated wind turbine (WT). The PSCAD/EMTDC software and the IEEE first benchmark model are used for this study. Simulation results demonstrate that the RBFCL not only limits the short circuit current contribution of WPPs, but also effectively damps the SSR oscillations due to IGE as well as TI, when the WPP is subjected to a large disturbance.
