(2024) Influence of the grid-side converter synchronization loop on the small-signal stability of a grid-forming DFIG wind turbine. In [IEEE], 2024 International Conference on Renewable Energies and Smart Technologies (REST) (pp. 1-5). IEEE. https://doi.org/10.1109/REST59987.2024.10645470979-8-3503-5890-210.1109/REST59987.2024.10645470https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/52692In grid-forming mode (GFM) doubly-fed induction generator based wind turbines connected to the grid, the converter connected to the rotor side is normally responsible for providing the grid-forming characteristics, while the grid-side converter commonly controls the DC-bus voltage thanks to a current control loop implemented in a rotating reference frame. The angle for the rotating reference frame is obtained by means of a phase-locked loop, which synchronizes the converter with the grid. However, this synchronization loop can introduce stability problems in weak grids. This paper proposes to synchronize the grid-side converter by means of the power synchronization loop of the GFM control of the rotor-side converter. This eliminates the need to use of a specific phase-locked loop, improving small-signal stability as demonstrated in the small-signal stability analysis performed in this paper.application/pdfeng© 2024 IEEE.
