Study on the resonance stability problem of the wind power base with the MMC–HVDC system

Considering the negative resistance effect of power electronic equipment, unstable resonance problems may occur between wind farms and converter stations. This paper focuses on the resonance stability problem of a wind power base coupling with a multi-level converter−high-voltage direct-current transmission (MMC–HVDC) system. Firstly, the s-domain impedance models of the doubly-fed induction wind generator, the permanent magnet synchronous wind generator, and the modular MMC are built, through the theoretical derivation and simulation test. Secondly, based on the s-domain nodal admittance matrix method, the resonance structure of the wind power base coupling with an MMC–HVDC system is analysed, including the resonance mode frequencies, the resonance mode damping factors, the nodal participation factors, and the nodal voltage mode shapes. Thirdly, the main factors influencing the resonance structure are studied, including the topology of the wind power base, the capacity of the wind turbines, and the operation mode of the MMC station. Finally, a brief conclusion ends the paper.
