Mechanism analysis on a type of limit induced oscillation for single-machine infinite-bus system of PMSG with positive damping

Abstract

The mechanism of oscillations that occur in the system connected to renewable energy sources is complex, generally including negative damping oscillation, limit induced oscillation etc. Combining with the dynamic characteristics of the low-dimensional system after limit working, this paper analyses the mechanism of a type of limit induced oscillation that occurs when the output of the DC voltage outer loop continuously touches the limit for single-machine infinite-bus system of permanent magnet synchronous generator with positive damping under a large disturbance. Specific study as follows: firstly, a non-smooth state space model of single-machine infinite-bus system of permanent magnet synchronous generator with nonlinear state limit (clarified as a Filippov system) is established. Secondly, the small disturbance characteristics of the system are analysed when the limit does not work. Thirdly, the piecewise dynamic description of the system is analysed with the limit working, and the reason that the final contraction of the system to an eight-dimensional manifold is explained based on mathematical derivation and physical characteristics. Finally, the characteristics of equilibrium point of the system in a low-dimensional manifold are analysed when the limit continuously working, revealing that the existence of a pair of conjugate unstable eigenvalues in the low-dimensional system is the reason of system oscillation.
