Such endeavors are crucial for grid operators to assess the system's ability to withstand disturbances. This paper proposes a multi-layer frequency control method for hybrid wind power and energy storage (ES) systems. All WTGs and ESs in the wind farm are divided into several clusters. At the wind farm layer, the wind farm control center quantitatively assesses the maximum inertia that the wind farm can provide based on real-time wind speed and the operational status of WTGs, and communicates this information to the grid control center. At the grid layer, the power system operators establish the security boundary related to the RoCoF based on the inertia level of the wind farm and synchronous generators, thereby continuously evaluating the system's ability to withstand disturbances in real-time. In the event of significant disturbances (N-1 event), the power system dispatch center issues instructions to the wind farm, specifying the required level of inertia to be provided. The wind farm, in turn, coordinates the allocation of inertia among WTGs and ESs based on the dispatch center's instructions and considers the operational status of different WTGs, while tracking the system control commands. Through this approach, the inertia response ability of different WTGs and ESs can be fully utilized to enhance the transient frequency characteristics of the grid.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50547,"journal":{"name":"Electric Power Systems Research","volume":"239 ","pages":"Article 111190"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The suggested control approach uses battery storage devices’ ability to deliver or absorb active power during power shortages or surpluses in order to regulate the system frequency and voltage. The controller uses consensus-based distributed coordination among agents in order to achieve stabilise frequency and voltage. In primary mode, each node exchanges local information with its neighbour, such as battery energy, power, and state of charge (SoC), to reach an agreement value in finite time. In secondary mode, the controller achieves its stability by sharing active and reactive power to regulate the frequency and the voltage. The conventional PI controller with a state feedback loop controller is used as a local controller for LFC in the multi-agent control platform. Numerical examples are considered throughout the simulations to highlight the controller’s functionality and are compared with the past literature. As simulation results suggested, the proposed model with the MBESS will have a efficient system performances compare to traditional LFC mode. In this case, each single battery model has the ability to work as a generator and as an active load to the grid to balance frequency and voltage fluctuations.

Among the various existing metrics, the transfer function correlation metric emerged as the most robust. However, its application to high-impedance faults also presents challenges. This difficulty can be attributed to the unknown real fault resistance in the direct-time process, where the guessed fault resistance is typically set to 0 during the reversed-time process of the electromagnetic time reversal fault location method. Consequently, this practice yields comparable direct-time and reversed-time transfer functions for low-impedance faults. Conversely, high-impedance faults exhibit significant discrepancies between direct-time and reversed-time transfer functions, leading to errors in fault location. To overcome this challenge, this paper proposes a location method based on specific guessed fault resistance preset during the reversed-time process. First, the direct-time voltage and reversed-time current transfer functions under high-impedance faults were derived in the frequency domain. Subsequently, by comparing transfer function differences when fault resistances in the direct-time and reversed-time processes did not align, a principle for selecting the guessed fault resistance was established. Additionally, the similarity of the two transfer functions under specific guessed fault resistances was investigated. Furthermore, the symmetry of the fault current was leveraged to reflect the correlation between the two transfer functions, and the differential fault current symmetry coefficient metric was introduced. A fault location time-domain algorithm based on guessed fault resistance was proposed, and its effectiveness was demonstrated through both reduced-scale and simulation experiments.
