Abstract

This article develops a model of a doubly fed induction generator system including the detailed dynamics of the converter circuitry. The order of the converter controls in terms of providing damping to the system is identified through residue principles. Supplementary damping controller has been incorporated so as to compensate for the phase lag introduced by the rotor voltage input, which was observed to have the largest residue contribution at the lightly damped mode. The improvement in damping profile was verified by simulating the system for a number of disturbance conditions. While the power oscillation damping (POD) controller was observed to enhance the system damping generally, it was also able to ride through low voltage conditions arising out of severe fault conditions thus averting total system collapse.
