Supplementary Damping Control Design for Large Scale PV Power Plant at Transmission Level Interconnection

摘要

The deployment of large scale photovoltaic (PV) power generation has been witnessed in several countries worldwide with different installed capacities. Accordingly, codes and regulations to ensure secure and economical operation have been revised to address the challenges related with PV integration into electrical networks. This paper presents an H∞ mixed sensitivity robust control design for enhancing the overall damping of low frequency oscillations. The presented architecture will implement the output signal of the power oscillator damper (POD) at the control loop of the PV-based solar power plant. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is tested using the New-England, 10machines test system.
