Short-Term Frequency Response of Large-Scale Wind Farms by Using Energy Storage Systems
摘要
The increasing penetration of wind power poses a significant challenge to the frequency regulation of power systems, as wind turbine generators (WTGs) inherently lack the ability to contribute to system frequency response. To address this issue, this chapter proposes a control strategy that compensates for the lack of short-term frequency response capability in wind farms by utilizing an energy storage system (ESS). First, the rated power and capacity of the ESS, which is installed at the point of common coupling of the wind farm, are determined to enable the wind farm to exhibit similar short-term frequency response characteristics as synchronous generators. The theoretical minimum rated power of the ESS should be approximately 5% of the wind farm’s rated power, assuming the ESS provides active power at its rated capacity throughout the entire inertial response period. Next, a fuzzy logic controller is designed for the ESS to ensure that its required rated power is minimized to the greatest extent possible. Simulation results of a simplified practical power system demonstrate that wind farms with the proposed strategy can respond rapidly to frequency changes and support short-term frequency control effectively under various load disturbances and wind speed fluctuations.
