Wind Farm SSO in Real World
In Oct. 2009, ERCOT reported a SSO in wind-integrated system, triggered by a single line-to-ground fault.
A NREL report in 2013 presents several SSO incidents recorded by wind power plants of Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company.
China Jibei Power Grid also encounters SSO induced by wind power integration.

Basic Characteristics of Wind Farm SSO
3
Characteristics of Wind Farm SSO
Electrical oscillation typically in the frequency range of 20 – 50 Hz.
Caused by interactions among wind generators, controllers of power electronic devices, and series compensated network.
Can be difficult to filter since the oscillation frequency may be close to synchronous frequency.
DFIG-based wind turbine are most sensitive to SSO among all kinds of wind turbines.

System Condition
Steady-State Infinite Bus |V| = 1 pu
Steady-State Infinite Bus θ = 0 rad
Steady-State DFIG Pout = 1 pu
Steady-State DFIG Power Factor = 0.9
Wind Speed = 4 m/s
Series Compensation Level = 52.38%
5 oscillation modes in total: 3 sub-synchronous and 2 super-synchronous
22.06 Hz sub-synchronous mode is unstable in low wind speed condition.
The other two sub-synchronous modes are stable with small damping compared with super-synchronous modes.

22.06 Hz mode is sensitive to network parameters and DFIG converter controller parameters.
8.09 Hz mode is sensitive to DFIG parameters and network parameters.
1.27 Hz mode is sensitive to torsional system parameters, network parameters and controller parameters.
Network inductor and capacitor values are of high sensitivities in all three sub-synchronous modes.
Parameters in current control loops of converter controllers have higher sensitivities over torque control loops.
DFIG rotor speed (determined by wind speed) has significant influence on all three modes.

Conclusions
What Happened: Sub-synchronous oscillation happens in wind-integrated power system.
Why It Occurred: Inappropriate operating conditions, series-compensated network parameters as well as DFIG converter controller parameters .
How To Eliminate: Eigenvalue adjustment based on sensitivity analysis and parameter tuning (including DFIG converter controller gains and network compensation level).
Future Work
Extend sensitivity analysis to multi-machine systems.
Design optimal mitigation control strategies for wind farm SSO.
