The expansion of renewable generation has raised some red flags in terms of power system stability, control, and management. For instance, unlike traditional synchronous energy sources, the doubly-fed induction generator- (DFIG-) based wind turbines (WTs) do not instinctively act against frequency deviations. In fact, the power electronics interfacing the generator, merely controlled to warrant maximum wind power conversion, make its output power and mechanical speed immune to the characteristics of the electric network frequency. Moreover, significant wind power penetration (WPP) promotes the retirement of many traditional generation groups, consequently curtailing the power system corresponding inertia and displacing the primary reserves that are essential to retain the frequency within an acceptable range of variation. This paper explores different control approaches, using backstepping, allowing DFIG-based WTs to engage actively in frequency regulation using a coordinated control of the rotor speed and pitch angle to regulate the system during both partial- and full-load operation modes. The first method momentarily discharges part of the kinetic energy stored in the WT spinning masses, and the second method follows a deloaded operation characteristic, so as to keep a specific power reserve that can be automatically activated at the events of frequency excursions. A study case considering an isolated power system that consists of synchronous generators, DFIG-based wind farm, static load, and a sudden frequency disturbance was performed. The simulation result in a Matlab/Simulink environment highlights the robustness and capability of the coordinated control scheme to furnish, under variant operation conditions, active power aid, consequently lifting the frequency nadir up to a superior level than that obtained with 0% wind power penetration in the system.

With high levels of wind energy penetration, the frequency response of isolated power systems is more likely to be affected in the event of a sudden frequency disturbance or fluctuating wind conditions. In order to minimize excessive frequency deviations, several techniques and control strategies involving Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWTs) have been investigated in isolated power systems. In this paper, the main benefits and disadvantages of introducing VSWTs—both their inertial contribution and primary frequency regulation—in an exclusively renewable isolated power system have been analyzed. Special attention has been paid to the influence of the delays of control signals in the wind farm when VSWTs provide primary regulation as well as to the wind power reserve value which is needed. To achieve this objective, a methodology has been proposed and applied to a case study: El Hierro power system. A mathematical dynamic model of the isolated power system, including exclusively renewable technologies, has been described. Representative generation schedules and wind speed signals have been fixed according to the observed system. Finally, in order to obtain conclusions, realistic system events such as fluctuations in wind speed and the outage of the generation unit with the higher assigned power in the power system have been simulated.

With the increasing installed capacity of the wind power, the power system has an obviously low inertia characteristic. It is of great significance to actively promote the virtual inertia frequency regulation technology of wind turbines (WTS) for improving the system frequency quality. The frequency regulation capability and frequency regulation effects of wind & thermal power units were analysed, and a variable inertia coordination frequency regulation strategy for different wind power penetration conditions was proposed in this paper. At the wind farm level, the dynamic frequency regulation participation coefficient of wind farms was fuzzily determined according to the operation conditions of WTS and the wind power penetration ratio. At the wind turbine level, the calculation method of the equivalent inertia constant of WTS was given based on the effective rotational kinetic energy. And the allowable range of frequency regulation parameters of WTS was determined by considering the incremental model of the system. Results indicated that the proposed coordinated frequency regulation strategy not only provided a reliable inertia support, but also maintained the stability of WTS. The frequency response performance of the high-penetration wind power system was improved.

With the improvement of the permeability of wind and photovoltaic (PV) energy, it has become one of the key problems to maintain the small-signal stability of the power system. Therefore, this paper analyzes the small-signal stability in a power system integrated with wind and solar energy. First, a mathematical model for small-signal stability analysis of power systems including the wind farm and PV station is established. And the characteristic roots of the New England power system integrated with wind energy and PV energy are obtained to study their small-signal stability. In addition, the validity of the theory is verified by the voltage drop of different nodes, which proves that power system integrated with wind-solar renewable energy participating in the frequency regulation can restore the system to the rated frequency in the shortest time and, at the same time, can enhance the robustness of each unit.

The article presents an original simulation model of a wind farm (WF) consisting of 30 wind turbine-generator units connected to the electrical power system (EPS) through power converters. The model is dedicated to the evaluation of the WF capabilities to participate in frequency and voltage regulation services in the power system. A system that allows for frequency and voltage control is proposed and implemented in the presented model. The system includes primary frequency regulation with synthetic inertia and secondary regulation available on request from the system operator. The concept of a reference power generation unit was introduced, according to which only one wind generator unit was modeled in detail, and the other units were replaced with simple current sources. Such a solution allowed for the reduction of size and complexity of the model as well as shortened the simulation time. Simulation tests were conducted in the PSCAD/EMTDC environment for an electrical power system composed of the wind farm, a synchronous generator, and a dummy load. The performance of the wind farm control system was analyzed in different operation conditions, and the control capabilities of the farm were assessed. Selected simulation results are presented and discussed in the paper. They illustrate the regulatory properties of the WF and confirm the correctness of the developed model.
