Abstract: Large-scale Doubly-fed induction generator-based wind power plants connected to the series-compensated transmission system are facing the risk of sub-synchronous resonance(SSR). A regional grid recently suffered from a spate of SSR failures. The incidents have seriously affected the safe and stable operation of the power grid. The SSR phenomenon characteristics of the wind power in the region are summarized from the aspects of precondition, spectral characteristics, damping ratio and performance of different kinds of wind turbines. Based on the analysis, simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC are used to demonstrate a typical SSR. Through the eigenvalue analysis, the mechanism of the wind power SSR phenomenon is defined as the DFIG control-involved induction generator effect.

Key words: sub-synchronous resonance, Doubly-fed induction generator, converter control, series compensation, induction generator effec
