As the penetrated level of wind in power grids increases, the online system inertia becomes weak. Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine generators (WTGs) are required to provide virtual inertia response to support system frequency. The present inertia control strategy with fixed control gain is not suitable and may cause stall of the DFIG-based WTG, as the virtual inertia response potential from the DFIG-based WTG is different with various wind speed conditions. This paper addresses a virtual inertia control method for the DFIG-based WTGs to improve the system frequency stability without causing stalling of the wind turbine for various wind speed conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed virtual inertia control method is investigated in a small system embedded with the DFIG-based WTG. Results demonstrate that the proposed virtual inertia strategy improves the frequency stability without causing the rotor speed security issue. Thus, the proposed control strategy can secure the dynamic system frequency security of power systems under the scenarios of full and partial loads, and, consequently, the proposed method provides a promising solution of ancillary services to power systems.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of the baseline control system (BCS) on the fragility of large-scale wind turbine when seismic and wind actions are considered simultaneously. The BCS is used to control the power output by regulating rotor speed and blade-pitch angle in real time. In this study, the fragility analysis was performed and compared between two models using different peak ground acceleration, wind speeds, and specified critical levels. The fragility curves with different wind conditions are obtained using the multiple stripe analysis (MSA) method. The calculation results show that the probability of exceedance specified critical level increases as the wind speed increases in model 1 without considering BCS, while does not have an obvious change in the below-rated wind speed range and has a significant decrease in the above-rated wind speed range in model 2 with considering BCS. The comparison depicts that if the BCS is neglected, the fragility of large-scale wind turbine will be underestimated in around the cut-in wind speed range and overestimated in the over-rated wind speed range. It is concluded that the BCS has a great effect on the fragility especially within the operating conditions when the rated wind speed is exceeded, and it should be considered when estimating the fragility of wind turbine subjected to the interaction of seismic and aerodynamic loads.

<span lang="EN-US">In this paper, we study the primary frequency control that allows the variable speed Aeolian to participate in the frequency regulation when a failure affects the network frequency. This method based on the control of the generator rotational speed or the control of pitch angle makes it possible to force the wind turbine to produce less power than its maximum available power, consequently we will create an active power reserve. This wind turbine must inject into the grid a part of its power reserve when the frequency drops, in contrary the wind turbine reserves more of energy. So, this work presents the performances of this control strategy for the different wind speed value. The results are obtained by a simulation in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.</span>

The continuous improvement of new energy penetration reduces the inertia of the system, which leads to the frequency deviation and the rate of change of frequency (RoCoF) being easily exceeded. To improve the frequency stability of sending-end power systems with large-scale renewable energy access via ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC), the coordinated frequency control for UHVDC participating in system frequency regulation (FR) including primary FR and system inertial response is presented. Based on the simplified system model, the mechanism of UHVDC participation in system frequency support and its influence on receiving-end system frequency response characteristics are analyzed. Compared with the inertia response and primary FR of traditional synchronous generators, the parameter calculating method of UHVDC coordinated frequency response control is proposed. Based on the system root trajectory analysis, the influence of the frequency response control parameters on the sending-end system’s stability is analyzed, and the constraints of UHVDC participating in the system frequency response control are analyzed. Then, based on the RTDS verification platform containing the Lingshao ±800 kV UHVDC control and protection system, the system frequency response characteristics under different control strategies, operating conditions and control parameters are verified and analyzed. The experimental results show that the UHVDC frequency coordinated control can effectively increase the equivalent inertia of the sending-end system, restrain the RoCoF and the frequency deviation, and increase the FR capability of the UHVDC system.

As the battery energy storage system (BESS) has been considered to be a solution to the diminished performance of frequency response in the Korean power system, in which renewable energy resources (RESs) are expected to increase rapidly, this paper proposes a control strategy for providing both the virtual inertia and primary frequency response considering the MW-scale BESS installed by the Korea Electricity Power Corporation (KEPCO). The benefit of such a fast and flexible BESS can be maximized by the proposed control strategy for making it provide both the inertia and primary frequency response, which would be deficit with the increased RES. In the proposed control strategy, the state of charge (SOC) is maintained in the specific range in which the life cycle is maximized, the interference of SOC recovery by frequency control is minimized, the responding capacity for providing the virtual inertia response is maximized during the transient period, and the performance requirements for frequency response are satisfied. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified by both Korean power system model-based simulation and on-site operations.

For an islanded micro-grid with a high penetration of photovoltaic (PV) power generators, the low inertia reserve and the maximum peak power tracking control may increase the difficulty of maintaining the system’s supply–demand balance, and cause frequency instability, especially when the available generation is excessive. This will require changes in the way the PV inverter is controlled. In this paper, a virtual inertia frequency control (VIFC) strategy is proposed to let the two-stage PV inverters emulate inertia and support the system frequency with a timely response (e.g., inertia response), and the required power for inertia emulation is obtained from both the DC-link capacitor and the PV reserved energy. As the rate of the system frequency change can be reduced with the inertia increase, the proposed method can mitigate the frequency contingency event before the superior-level coordination control is enabled for the frequency restoration. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

With many grid-connected wind farms of Doubly-fed Induction Generator (DFIG) type taking the palce of conventional synchronous generators, the frequency control ability of the system will decrease. But the existing control strategy based on maximum wind power tracking of DFIG can not response to the deviation of the system frequency. This paper proposes a new hybrid frequency control strategy based on the research of the frequency response to the doubly fed induction wind turbine curves switching inertia control loop and the ability for the pitch angle control participating in the system primary frequency modulation. The strategy reduces the initial rate of change and the steady state error of system frequency with the combined action of the curves switching inertial control and pitch frequency control. Finally, the simulation results of the two areas with four generators validate the effectiveness of the strategy.

With the rapid increase in the proportion of the installed wind power capacity in the total grid capacity, the state has put forward higher and higher requirements for wind power integration into the grid, among which the most difficult requirement is the zero-voltage ride through (ZVRT) capability of the wind turbine. When the voltage drops deeply, a series of transient processes, such as serious overvoltage, overcurrent, or speed rise, will occur in the motor, which will seriously endanger the safe operation of the wind turbine itself and its control system, and cause large-scale off-grid accident of wind generator. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the uninterrupted operation ability of the wind turbine. Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) can achieve the best wind energy tracking control in a wide range of wind speed and has the advantage of flexible power regulation. It is widely used at present, but it is sensitive to the grid voltage. In the current study, the DFIG is taken as the research object. The transient process of the DFIG during a fault is analyzed in detail. The mechanism of the rotor overcurrent and DC bus overvoltage of the DFIG during fault is studied. Additionally, the simulation model is built in DIgSILENT. The active crowbar hardware protection circuit is put into the rotor side of the wind turbine, and the extended state observer and terminal sliding mode control are added to the grid side converter control. Through the cooperative control technology, the rotor overcurrent and DC bus overvoltage can be suppressed to realize the zero-voltage ride-through of the doubly fed wind turbine, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the wind farm. Finally, the simulation results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and the proposed control strategy.

New large-scale laboratory data are presented on a physical model of a spar buoy wind turbine with angular motion of control surfaces implemented (pitch control). The peculiarity of this type of rotating blade represents an essential aspect when studying floating offshore wind structures. Experiments were designed specifically to compare different operational environmental conditions in terms of wave steepness and wind speed. Results discussed here were derived from an analysis of only a part of the whole dataset. Consistent with recent small-scale experiments, data clearly show that the waves contributed to most of the model motions and mooring loads. A significant nonlinear behavior for sway, roll and yaw has been detected, whereas an increase in the wave period makes the wind speed less influential for surge, heave and pitch. In general, as the steepness increases, the oscillations decrease. However, higher wind speed does not mean greater platform motions. Data also indicate a significant role of the blade rotation in the turbine thrust, nacelle dynamic forces and power in six degrees of freedom. Certain pairs of wind speed-wave steepness are particularly unfavorable, since the first harmonic of the rotor (coupled to the first wave harmonic) causes the thrust force to be larger than that in more energetic sea states. The experiments suggest that the inclusion of pitch-controlled, variable-speed blades in physical (and numerical) tests on such types of structures is crucial, highlighting the importance of pitch motion as an important design factor.
