The increase in energy production from non-programmable renewable sources has radically altered the production scenarios, bringing undeniable environmental benefits but also some criticalities for the power networks. One of the most impacting issues is network inertia decrease. Currently wind and photovoltaic generators do not contribute to system inertia, reducing system stability in case of power...
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...
New control systems for Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWT) need to be developed in order to provide inertia response and frequency control to support the grid. This work studies the behavior and capability of VSWT for providing temporary active power overproduction. The study is conducted on a multi-megawatt VSWT with Doubly-Fed Induction Generator. It was found that it is possible to have an active...
