Abstract With rapid proliferation of wind generation in current generation mix,
the issue of low frequency oscillations (LFOs) may get escalated in the modern
power grids. The eigenvalue and dynamic sensitivity analysis have been employed
to examine the effect of wind integration on system damping. Further, a wide area
based robust damping improvement control is suggested. It involves the coordinated
control of power system stabilizers (PSSs) of synchronous generators (SGs) and
power oscillation dampers (PODs) of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs). The
robust control is attained by employing a new fitness function based on eigenvalue
and damping ratio and optimized by Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The
wide area POD inputs are selected using modal observability criterion, obtained using
phasor measurement units (PMUs) located optimally in the system. The results are
verified on IEEE benchmark 68 bus NY-NE (New York- New England) test system.
The simulation results highlights the robustness of proposed control to changing
system conditions and shows its effectiveness in augmenting system damping and
thus small signal stability with high level of wind penetration.
