Transient Voltage Control Of Sending-End Wind Farm Using A Synchronous Condenser Under Commutation Failure Of Hvdc Transmission System

When the large-scale wind power is sent out through the high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system and a DC commutation failure occurs, the voltage of AC bus at the sending end decreases first and then increases. Suppose the reactive power supported in the low voltage ride-through process by various reactive resources is not timely returned. In that case, it may aggravate the voltage rise caused by the commutation failure, and the off-grid risk of wind turbine under high-voltage will be aggravated. In order to reduce the off-grid risk of wind turbines caused by the DC commutation failure, a transient voltage control strategy of DC sending-end regulator based on the online sequential extreme learning machine (OS-ELM) voltage prediction model is proposed. Firstly, the influence factors of commutation failures are analyzed. Aiming at the key factors, the real-time voltage comprehensive prediction model based on OS-ELM is used to predict the voltage increase during the commutation failure process and uses the voltage prediction results to optimize the transient response of the synchronous condenser. A large-scale wind farm together with the HVDC system is established in PSCAD to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can reduce the risk of wind power off-grid risk under DC commutation failures and increase the speed of voltage recovery at the point of common coupling.
