Hydropower is a clean energy source that can effectively reduce fossil energy consumption and plays a vital role in carbon emission reduction and resource conservation. However, the large-scale grid integration of hydropower may introduce wide-band oscillation risks arising from the interaction between hydropower units and the power grid, which may threaten equipment safety and degrade the operational stability of the power grid in severe cases. The impedance analysis method can effectively simplify the process of stability analysis, its physical meaning is clear, and the model is easy to systematically extend. Therefore, based on the impedance analysis method, this paper divides the hydropower unit into three components, namely the synchronous generator, hydraulic turbine, and governor. The small-signal linearized equations of each component are derived, and the impedance model of the hydropower unit is established in the dq coordinate system. On this basis, the sequence impedance model is further constructed according to the mathematical transformation relationship with the dq impedance model. Firstly, this method is based on the modular impedance model, and when the system structure and parameters are changed, only the transfer functions and parameters of the corresponding modules need to be changed without re-establishing the system model. Secondly, the frequency scanning method is used to validate the established impedance model by scanning, which proves the accuracy of the impedance model established in this paper. Finally, the stability analysis of the grid-connected system of hydraulic turbine unit and new energy unit based on impedance method is carried out. The results show the applicability of the established impedance model of hydropower unit in oscillation analysis.
