Impedance Modeling and Stability Analysis of VSG Controlled Type-IV Wind Turbine System

In order to realize the grid-friendly wind turbine system (WTS), applying of the virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control strategy to WTS has become a trend of research, and it is also required to analyze the grid-connected operation characteristics of the VSG controlled WTS. In this paper, the impedance modeling and impedance-based stability analysis of the VSG controlled type-IV WTS are carried out. Different from existing impedance modeling method that the WTS is modeled by a high dimensional impedance model with complex expressions, a model to describe the shaping effects of dc-link dynamics is proposed, and combined with the space vector diagram to analyze the system impedance characteristics. It is found that the impedance of the VSG controlled type-IV can be capacitive below the fundamental frequency, which is inherited from its GSC impedance and the capacitive characteristics has been weakened by the influence of dc-link dynamics. Instable risk has also been found between the VSG controlled type-IV WTS and the connected weak grid, and the instability can be avoided if the capacitive characteristics of the VSG controlled type-IV WTS are weakened by reshaping its GSC impedance or by enhancing the dc-link dynamics. Experiments are also carried out as verifications.
