Abstract
When a wind farm (WF) provides frequency support for the power grid, the frequency regulation parameters of wind turbine generators (WTGs) are normally set by the control of the rotor-side converter and generally decoupled from the time-varying available rotor kinetic energy (RKE) in WTGs. Therefore, it may lead to a mismatch between the frequency regulation parameters and the frequency regulation ability of a WTG. The paper proposed an optimal WF frequency regulation parameter setting method, considering the available RKE evaluation and establishing the coupling relationship between frequency regulation parameters and available RKE. Firstly, by analyzing the spatiotemporal differences in wind speed within a WF using copula functions and the improved LSHCD (Latin hypercube sampling-Cholesky decomposition) method, a forecasting scenario-based evaluation method of the WF available RKE for a future time is proposed. Secondly, to improve the system frequency dynamic response under power disturbance, a functional optimization model for WF frequency regulation parameters is constructed and offline solved with numerical method to realize the adaptive frequency regulation parameters set according to the time-varying available RKE of WF. Then the frequency regulation parameters of the WTGs within a WF are set according to the energy-weight ratio. Finally, a case study is conducted to verify the proposed available RKE evaluation and the effectiveness of the optimal frequency regulation parameter setting method. The results show that the energy evaluation method can effectively reduce evaluation error and the optimal frequency regulation parameter can improve the system frequency dynamic response, and prevent over-deceleration of WTG.
