Abstract

Type-3 wind generators in series-compensated networks could lead to subsynchronous resonance (SSR) oscillations- a phenomenon observed recently. In this letter, impedance-based Nyquist stability criterion is applied to explain the phenomenon. The resonance is not due to the shaft´s torsional characteristics, but rather due to its slip related impedance, which can give rise to equivalent negative resistance. The explanation corroborates the authors´ previous explanation of self-excitation using net negative resistance concept. Nyquist map is also able to demonstrate the impact of wind speed on SSR.
