This paper proposes a coordinated wind farm (WF) operation strategy that exploits the wake interaction within a WF. In contrast to the conventional WF operation strategy where each wind turbine (WT) is optimized individually, three operation strategies are suggested: 1) maximization of the WF's power while maintaining WF's rotational kinetic energy; 2) maximization of the WF's rotational kinetic energy...
The present study proposes an alternate approach to design and shape the Emulated Inertial Response (EIR) from Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWT) by exchanging its kinetic energy (KE) with the grid. Although, the KE released by the deceleration of VSWT can momentarily reduce the generation-demand difference, and thereby alleviate the frequency stability, limiting the effects of subsequent VSWT recuperation...
The increasing penetration of wind generation impacts the reliability and stability of power systems. This paper investigates and analyses the effect of PID controller parameters on the inertial response of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine to support the frequency control of a power system in the event of sudden power changes. The goal of this review is to extensively determine...
The increasing level of wind power integration using doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) has implications for local frequency support as a consequence of decoupling between DFIG rotor speed and grid frequency. To ensure reliable and stable power system operation with DFIG integration, supplementary inertial control strategies are required. Conventional inertial control algorithms which use the...
The use of kinetic energy, stored in the rotational masses of Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWT), for inertial support is well established. The idea is to employ the fast control response of the VSWT to inject additional power for the short duration following the disturbance. However, the variable speed operation of the VSWT poses a great challenge in successfully designing an appropriate control...
In this paper a procedure for estimating the inertial frequency response of a power system with high wind energy penetration is presented, and the influence of the wind power fluctuations on the variability of the inertial response is analyzed. The procedure is based on the accuracy of the disturbance start-time detection and the frequency's rate of change. An algorithm for estimating the disturbance...
As wind penetration levels on power systems increase worldwide, the dynamic characteristics of these systems are changing due to the displacement of synchronous generation. One issue, of particular concern, is the resulting reduction in system inertia. Modern, variable speed wind turbines are controlled by power electronics and so do not inherently contribute to the inertial response of the system...
The increasing penetration of modern wind plants may cause primary frequency regulation to fall below acceptable levels, especially in isolated grids. This paper investigates the contribution of variable speed wind generators to short-term frequency support. First, the extractable inertial power from a DFIG wind turbine is quantified. Based on that, a controller is designed to transiently release...
Due to irregular wind velocity, the output power of a wind turbine generator system (WTGS) is fluctuated. There are many methods to propose to generate smooth output power of a wind turbine. For example, energy storage devices, electric double layer capacitors, flywheels are well-known. But these methods are required a significant extra cost for installation and maintenance. In recent years, some...
The paper examines two major implementations of inertial response in variable-speed wind turbine generators. Through time-domain simulations, these supplementary loops are compared based on their impact on grid frequency and the wind plant. Testing is performed on an isolated, hydro-dominated power system benchmark, to which a DFIG-based wind plant is connected. The results show that when these implementations...
This paper presents an assessment of the kinetic energy reserve that could be made available by aggregating a distributed group of wind farms. The size of reserve available for a single turbine and the range of wind speeds where it can be assumed available is computed and compared with the kinetic energy delivered by synchronous generators during typical transients. The size and availability of an...
This paper introduces definitions and an analysis method for estimating how much kinetic energy can be made available for inertial response from a wind turbine over a year, and how much energy capture must be sacrificed to do so. The analysis is based on the static characteristics of wind turbines, Weibull distributions of wind speed, and standard definitions of turbulence intensity. A control scheme...
In this paper, a dynamic continuum modeling method is proposed to evaluate effective torsional structural properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes without any need to assume their fictitious wall thickness. The dynamic continuum modeling method has been developed based on the energy equivalence principle as well as on the molecular mechanics. The proposed dynamic continuum modeling method is applied...
