Abstract:Ultra-low frequency oscillation suppression of interconnected power grid is crucial for safe and stable grid operation. The existing studies only consider optimizing the PI control parameters of hydroelectric governer, which may reduce the hydroelectric frequency regulation capability. The significant growth of static var compensators (SVC) in power grid introduces a new idea for ultra-low frequency oscillation suppression. A method to jointly optimize SVC with additional frequency control and PI parameters of hydroelectric gover-nors is proposed. Firstly, an equivalent model of a single-machine single-load system is established, which contains a hydraulic turbine and SVC. The principle of SVC with additional frequency control and its suppression effect on ultra-low frequency oscillation of system are analyzed. On this basis, taking damping coefficient of ultra-low frequency oscillation and primary frequency regulation performance of hydropower units as optimization objectives, the controller parameters are optimally designed to improve the overall capability of ultra-low frequency oscillation suppression. Finally, a simulation model for the hydropower units and SVC is constructed on PSCAD/EMTDC platform, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the damping capacity of ultra-low frequency oscillations in power grid with high proportion of hydropower, and can also improve the frequency regulation capability of hydropower units.
