DC Active Damper Control Strategy Based on Resonance Suppression Effectiveness Evaluation Method

Abstract

With the complication of the power system, features of the resonance interaction behave diversely and pose a threat to the effectiveness of the resonance suppression strategies. Existing resonance suppression strategies are usually designed for specific scenarios which are in close correlation with the impedance frequency-amplitude distribution, and their adaptability under different scenarios is hard to evaluate. In this paper, the resonance suppression domain of a DC distribution network is derived based on the node impedance variation before/after the resonance is suppressed. The derived criterion takes the admittance change of the resonance suppression strategies as variables, and the conservative/ideal suppression domain criteria are defined. On this basis, a method for evaluating the effectiveness of resonance suppression strategies is proposed, which simplifies the evaluation process and avoids a complicated matrix inverse process to each resonance suppression strategy during the system impedance calculation. Furthermore, a DC active damper control strategy based on the resonance suppression strategy evaluation is proposed, and the proposed strategy could suppress resonances under different scenarios by a targeted design of the reshaping admittance parameters. Time domain simulations with a 5-node distribution network are carried out to verify the proposed method.
