This paper presents the mitigation of subsynchronous resonance (SSR) based on wide-area wide-area fuzzy controller in power systems including a double-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms linked to series capacitive compensated transmission networks. SSR damping is achieved by adding the fuzzy controller as a supplementary signal at the stator voltage loop of the grid-side converter (GSC) of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms. In addition, delays due to communication signals are important in using WAMS. If these delays are ignored, it causes system instability. In this paper, the delays are modeled with a separate fuzzy input to the controller. The effectiveness and efficiency of the WAMS-based fuzzy controller has been demonstrated by comparison with the particle swarm optimization (PSO), and imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) optimization methods. The effectiveness and validity of the proposed Auxiliary damping control are verified on a modified version of the IEEE second benchmark model including DFIG-based wind farms via time simulation analysis by using MATLAB/Simulink.
