Abstract
The wind–thermal-bundled transmission system is a feasible way to transmit wind power generation; however, the stability of the system should be paid more attention under high wind power penetration. In this article, the impact of wind energy penetration on torsional vibration and electrical characteristics is investigated for wind–thermal-bundled transmitted by high-voltage direct current system. The torsional vibration responses of generator shaft with different wind–thermal-bundled ratios are analyzed by time and frequency methods. The electrical characteristics of wind–thermal-bundled transmission system are disclosed under the influence of the wind farm penetration. The analysis illustrates that the penetration of doubly fed induction generation makes the torsional vibration of turbo generator and wind turbine shaft present different mode characteristics, and the risks of different modes are different. The current and voltage of wind–thermal-bundled transmission system show regular evolution with the change of wind–thermal-bundled proportion. Analytical results provide the value for the design and control of the wind–thermal-bundled transmitted system, which contributes to the improvement of power system stability.
