Small-Signal Stability Analysis and Optimization of Grid-Forming Permanent-Magnet Synchronous-Generator Wind Turbines.

Due to the ability to improve the low-inertia characteristics of power systems and offer reliable voltage and frequency support, grid-forming permanent-magnet synchronous-generator wind turbines (PMSG-WTs) based on virtual synchronous-generator (VSG) technology are emerging se the direction for future developments. Previous studies on the small-signal stability of grid-forming PMSG-WTs that connect to the grid usually simplify them into grid-connected grid-side converters (GSC), potentially leading to errors in stability analyses. Therefore, this paper considers the machine-side converter (MSC) control and establishes impedance models for grid-forming PMSG-WTs. Based on the sensitivity calculation of controller parameters using symmetric difference computation based on zero-order optimization, the impact of the internal controller on outside impedance characteristics is quantitatively analyzed. Additionally, an optimization method to enhance the stability of a hybrid wind farm by adjusting the ratio of grid-forming and grid-following wind turbines is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
