Fuzzy Active Disturbance Rejection-Based Virtual Inertia Control Strategy for Wind Farms

Abstract

This paper presents an advanced virtual inertia control strategy for wind farms to provide transient power support in the presence of frequency events, where a fuzzy active disturbance rejection controller is developed to enable the operation of an energy storage system (ESS) so as to provide support for frequency regulation of the power grid. To effectively estimate the system frequency under uncertain noises, fuzzy rules are presented to adaptively tune the parameters of the extended state observer and to realize the power-sharing, to improve the anti-interference ability of the wind power system. Finally, simulation analysis in MATLAB/Simulink is provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. Simulation results show that the developed virtual inertia control strategy based on fuzzy active disturbance rejection control has a good inertia support capability. In addition, the proposed method is able to improve the anti-noise capability of the wind power system.
