FIELD OF INVENTION:
[001] The present invention relates to the field of a control system for the rotor side converter (RSC) to dampen sub synchronous oscillations (SSO). More particularly present invention relates to control system for damping of sub-synchronous oscillation in variable speed hydro generating units connected with 765 kV series compensated transmission lines.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART:
[002] Conventional hydrogenerators, mostly synchronous generators, are now employed in domestic and international hydropower facilities, with a limited number of standard asynchronous generators frequency range (50Hz).
[003] Doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) with partial rated megawatt (MW) power converters are widely preferred in large rated variable speed pumped storage power plant (VSPSPP) since it offers higher energy efficiency at wide variation in water head, reduced cost and grid stability. Partial rated power converters are adopted for rotor excitation of DFIM and it handles bulk excitation current (e.g. a typical 250 MW DFIM handles 11620 A). Due to the limited power handling capacity of semiconductor devices, parallel connected power converters are adopted. Any failures occur in the excitation system the operation of the generating unit is interrupted, as it is asynchronous in nature.
[004] SSR (Sub-Synchronous Resonance) is a phenomenon that occurs in electrical power networks when a turbine-interaction generator interacts with a long-distance series compensated transmission line. An electrical power system exists in a situation where electrical networks exchange energy. Mechanical system of the generator at frequencies lower than the typical frequency of the transmission line (50Hz).
[005] The induction generator effect, torsional interaction, and torque amplification are three types of sub-synchronous resonance. A steady state disturbance causes the first two categories, whereas transient disturbances induce the third.
[006] It is reported that shaft failure of rotor is due to Sub Synchronous Oscillation (SSO) of series compensated power system.

[024] The article entitled “SSR damping controller design and optimal placement in rotor-side and grid-side converters of series-compensated DFIG-based wind farm” by Hossein Ali Mohammadpour; Enrico Santi; IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy (Volume: 6, Issue: 2); April 2015 talks about the sub synchronous resonance (SSR) phenomena in a capacitive series-compensated DFIG-based wind farm. Using both modal analysis and time-domain simulation, it is shown that the DFIG wind farm is potentially unstable due to the SSR mode. In order to damp the SSR, the rotor-side converter (RSC) and grid-side converter (GSC) controllers of the DFIG are utilized. The objective is to design a simple proportional SSR damping controller (SSRDC) by properly choosing an optimum input control signal (ICS) to the SSRDC block, so that the SSR mode becomes stable without decreasing or destabilizing the other system modes. Moreover, an optimum point within the RSC and GSC controllers to insert the SSRDC is identified. Three different signals are tested as potential ICSs including rotor speed, line real power, and voltage across the series capacitor, and an optimum ICS is identified using residue-based analysis and root-locus method. Moreover, two methods are discussed in order to estimate the optimum ICS, without measuring it directly. The studied power system is a 100 MW DFIG-based wind farm connected to a series-compensated line whose parameters are taken from the IEEE first benchmark model (FBM) for computer simulation of the SSR. MATLAB/Simulink is used as a tool for modeling and designing the SSRDC, and power system computer aided design/electromagnetic transients including dc (PSCAD/EMTDC) is used to perform time-domain simulation for design process validation.
[025] The article entitled “SSCI damping controller design for series-compensated DFIG-based wind parks considering implementation challenges” by Mohsen Ghafouri; Ulas Karaagac; Jean Mahseredjian; Houshang Karimi; IEEE Transactions on Power Systems (Volume: 34, Issue: 4); July 2019 talks about the use of supplementary controllers for mitigating sub synchronous control interaction (SSCI) in doubly-fed induction generator based wind parks is quite promising due to their low investment costs. These SSCI damping controllers are typically designed and tested using an aggregated wind turbine (WT) model that represents the entire wind park (WP). However, no research has been reported on their implementations in a realistic WP. This paper, first presents various implementation schemes for a linear-quadratic regulator based SSCI damping controller, and discusses the corresponding practical challenges. Then, an implementation scheme that obviates the need for high rate data transfer between the WTs and the WP secondary control layer is proposed. In the proposed implementation, the SSCI damping controller receives only the WT outage information updates from the WP controller, hence it is not vulnerable to the variable communication network latency. The SSCI damping controller parameters are also modified when there is a change in WT outage information for the ultimate performance. The effectiveness of the proposed implementation scheme is confirmed with detailed electromagnetic transient simulations, considering different wind speeds at each WT and WT outages due to sudden decrease in wind speeds.
[026] In order to overcome above listed prior art, the present invention aims to provide a control system and method for the Rotor Side Converter (RSC) to dampen sub synchronous oscillations in variable speed hydro generating units connected with series compensated extra high voltage transmission lines.

[027] The principal object of the present invention is to provide a control system and method for the Rotor Side Converter (RSC) to dampen sub synchronous oscillations in variable speed hydro generating units connected with series compensated extra high voltage transmission lines.
[028] Another object of the present invention is to provide a supplementary damping controller for Rotor Side Converter (RSC) to dampen SSR oscillations in series compensated transmission lines with variable speed hydro generating units.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
[030] The present invention relates to a system and method for a control system to dampen SSO in rotor side control system (RSCS) of a variable speed hydropower plant. It relates to rotor side damping controller (RSDC) in the rotor side converter (RSC) of variable speed pumped storage units with series compensated transmission line to dampen sub synchronous oscillation. This is an efficient control system for RSDC in RSC of a variable speed hydro generating unit equipped with extra high voltage lines. The controller makes the damping of sub synchronous oscillation fast.
[031] The DFIM operation in hydro energy conversion system is distinct in view of (i) controllers involving with the hydro power unit contains three sections such as (a) hydro turbine controller, (b) rotor side converter controller, and (c) grid side converter controller, whereas research articles in the wind farm consider only RSC and GSC controllers for controlling power in the DFIM fed plants.
[032] (ii) In DFIM fed hydropower generation, parallel connected high power converters are placed in the rotor side (In case of Tehri DFIM fed hydro, five parallel connected converter are employed and each converter is rated as 2400 A, 3300 V) for ensuring variable speed operation. This parallel connected converter brings more challenges during sub synchronous control interaction.
[033] (iii) Phase-shift transformers (PSTs) have been designed in the DFIM fed hydro units to eliminate the lower-order harmonics and to suppress the circulating current in the parallel connected converter (In case of Tehri hydro, PSTs were arranged with two sets of groups: (i) one primary and three secondary windings (Yd1 (- 12⁰), d1 (-0⁰), d1 (12⁰)), and (ii) one primary and two secondary windings (Yd1 (-6⁰), d1 (6⁰))) [24], such transformer design is considered while analyzing SSCI, however PSTs may not be employed in wind power generation.
[034] Finally, (iv) a limited power rating (maximum rating of a wind generating unit is 8 MW) of wind power generation does not make any impact on the stability of the power grid if it gets shutdown due to resonance stability. However, in large-rated hydro generating unit, the power rating of DFIM is very high in comparison with wind power unit. This patent describes the control system to dampen SSO in a variable speed hydro generating unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
[042] The present invention provides a control system and method to dampen SSO in the rotor side control system (RSCS) of a variable speed hydropower plant (HPP). It provides rotor side damping controller (RSDC) in the rotor side converter (RSC) of variable speed pumped storage units with a series compensated transmission line to dampen sub synchronous oscillation. This is an efficient controller for RSDC in RSC of a hydro generating unit equipped with a doubly fed induction machine (DFIM). The controller makes the damping of sub-synchronous oscillation fast.
[043] The control system to dampen SSO in rotor side control system (RSCS) of a variable speed hydropower plant (VSHPP) it comprises of a reservoir and turbine, with inlet valve and intake gates that can either be in a fully closed or fully open position to cut off the water supply to the turbine and penstock, Generator, with generator circuit breaker (GCB 4), Unit circuit breaker (UCB 6), Power transformer (7), excitation transformer (8), doubly fed induction machine (10), (DFIM) converter including grid side converter (11), rotor side converter, and extra high voltage transmission line (13) and grid (14) characterized in that DFIM converter control consists of rotor side and grid side control strategies separately, and electromagnetic torque and reactive components of DFIM are controlled through rotor side converter and DC-link voltage, and reactive power component of grid are controlled through grid side controller, guide vane, hydraulic governor control system with asynchronous generating and the grid wherein the control of the output/speed of the unit is by adjusting the position of guide vane opening and are kept in any position between a fully closed and nearly fully open position and regulate the flow of water to the runner to match the required output at the existing head using a closed-loop feedback controller.
[044] The present invention provides a control system and method to dampens SSO of a hydro generating unit equipped with a doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) through RSDC as shown in Fig. 1.
[045] A 250 MW DFIM with 765kV extra high voltage transmission line is modelled in MATLAB/Simulink based on Fig. 2 and simulated through time domain analysis. The speed of the test system is chosen as 214 rpm (0.93 p. u) considering sub synchronous oscillation and delivering active power and reactive power of 225 MW, and 18 MVAr, respectively.
[046] As an when series compensation applied to EHV transmission line, SSO Occurs with distorted voltage and current containing electrical natural frequency components are measured and fed to controller, then controller process the distorted information, the reference signal fed to the PWM pulse generator contains sub synchronous distortion this cause negative damping leading to SSO.
[047] This invention identifies the method to tuning RSC gain to dampen SSO. To verify the SSO mitigation methods, initially DFIM system is compensated with 50% level. Then the mitigation methods are applied to the DFIM system at 3s, and results is shown in Fig. 4. It is inferred that without mitigation methods the oscillation is carried in the rotor current and make the system into unstable mode if it is continuously existence in the system.
[048] In case of SSO mitigation methods, tuning of rotor side converter controller approach is performed in the experimentation and result is given in Fig. 5. To analyze the performance of the proposed SSO mitigation method, at first DFIM is operated with 50% series compensation level and its stator current is keep oscillating due to the nature of series compensation and when applying the proposed SSO mitigation method then oscillations and ripples are reduced and back to the original waveform.
[049] Here the stator terminal of DFIM is connected with series compensated EHV Transmission line to grid, and the rotor terminal of DFIM is connected through a parallel-connected power converter.

The rotor current vs time is shown in Fig. 4b. and illustrate damping of the rotor current oscillations at t = 0.3 sec when series compensation is switched ON.
[062] B. Experimentation Validation and Results
[063] An experimental setup having a 2.2 kW DFIM connected to 415V grid through series compensated transmission line, which is presented as inductors and capacitors have been setup in laboratory. The Fig. 3 shows laboratory rest rig. Switching pulses for the RSC are obtained from dSPACE MicroLabBox 1202. The switching frequency of 2.5 kHz and dead band of 6 μ sec is used for pulse generation.
[064] In case of SSO damping methods, tuning of rotor side converter controller approach is performed in the experimentation and result is given in Fig. 5. To analyze the performance of the proposed SSO mitigation method, at first DFIM is operated with 50% series compensation level and its stator current is keep oscillating due to the nature of series compensation and when applying the proposed SSO mitigation method then oscillations and ripples are reduced and back to the original waveform.
[065] The variation in the real power with and without compensation is shown in Fig. 6. In compensated systems, active power flow is increased and the power factor is much higher. In this, 50% compensation is given for the line and it is observed that the total real power delivered from the stator is increased between 3 and 3.6 min to 550 from 440W. It is found that when compensation is applied to the line, power flow rises and power transfer capacity improves, however SSO occurs.
