Frequency scanning (FS) is a powerful tool based on linear analysis to identify the all types of SSR by

computing the impedance of the whole system Z(s) as a function of frequency as seen from one
operating point in the system. The stability of the system can be observed by plotting the resistance R(s),
and reactance X(s) under a different range of frequency [90]. The point at which the waveform of
reactance X(S) crosses the frequency axis indicates the zero reactance, and the frequency at such point
is called sub-synchronous frequency. Moreover, the system will be prone to unstable SSR if the
waveform of the resistance R(s) shows a negative value

Steps

1. Define the system parameters and model: This includes defining the system
topology, HVDC converter model, control system model, and load model.
2. Calculate the impedance of the system: Calculate the impedance of the system
using the defined parameters and model. This will give you the transfer function
of the system.
3. Determine the critical frequency: Determine the critical frequency of the system
by analyzing the transfer function. This is the frequency at which the system starts
to become unstable.
4. Implement the frequency scanning algorithm: Implement a frequency scanning
algorithm to scan the frequency range around the critical frequency. The
algorithm should calculate the eigenvalues of the system for each frequency in
the range. The eigenvalues will indicate whether the system is stable or unstable.
5. Plot the results: Plot the eigenvalues as a function of frequency to determine the
stability of the system over the scanned frequency range.

DFIF FREQUENCY SCANING

The frequency scanning (FS) method is a popular technique for amplifying

subsynchronous resonance (SSR) in doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) systems.
Here's a MATLAB code for implementing the frequency scanning method for SSR
amplification in DFIG systems:

This code defines the system parameters, including the grid frequency, rotor frequency,
stator and rotor resistances and reactances, magnetizing reactance, and mechanical
inertia constant. It also defines the frequency scanning parameters, including the
minimum and maximum frequencies, frequency step, and frequency vector. The transfer
function numerator and denominator are defined using the DFIG system equations, and
the frequency response is computed for each frequency using the bode command. The
gain and phase angle are then stored in matrices and plotted as a function of frequency
using the plot command.
