Abstract
Fast-frequency regulation (FFR) is becoming a key measure to enhance the frequency stability of power systems as the penetration of renewables and power electronics continues to grow and the system inertia declines. Although different control methods have been proposed to provide a wind turbine generator (WTG) with a limited capability of virtual inertia and frequency support, the coordination between the WTG and a battery energy storage system (BESS), as well as the potential optimization benefits, have not been fully studied. This study proposes a coordinated control of WTG and BESS that provides FFR to the AC system and at the same time extends the cycle life of the battery. First, a cost effective and SOC-based FFR strategy of BESS alone was proposed. Then, a coordinated FFR method for the WTG–BESS hybrid system under all wind speeds was proposed by analyzing the operational characteristics of WTG. The proposed coordinated strategy improves the FFR performance with a longer cycle life and lower cost of battery under different operating conditions. Simulation results based on varying wind speeds indicate that the proposed FFR strategy raises the frequency nadir and avoids the frequency secondary dip.
