A Multilayer Eigen-Sensitivity Method Using Loop Gain Model for Oscillation Diagnosis of Converter-Based System

Abstract

Loop gain-based eigen-sensitivity (LGES) is a useful frequency-domain tool for oscillation diagnosis of converter-based system. However, the existing theory is still scant in two aspects: participation factor (PF) is bound up with the frequency-domain modal characteristic that does not necessarily point to the stability as that of the time-domain eigen-sensitivity (i.e., PF of oscillation mode); a systematic LGES analysis framework containing both component- and parameter- level sensitivity is missing. These two factors hinder the application of LGES method on the proper evaluation of stability effects, which are closely related with the time-domain oscillation mode. To address these issues, this paper proposes a multilayer LGES method directed to the oscillation mode, and a full set of indices like PF, component and parameter sensitivity are established. The link from the eigen-sensitivity of frequency domain to that of time domain is revealed, through which it is shown how the proposed LGES method can facilitate the control parameter tuning-guided oscillation suppression. The effectiveness of the proposed LGES method is validated via case studies conducted on a generic AC/DC converter-based system.
