Abstract
Typically, wind farms (WFs) are intermittent re-sources that rely on stochastic wind speed profiles. Hence, fulfilling transmission system operators (TSOs) requirements such as frequency support, flicker mitigation and reactive power compensation is challenging due to higher active power fluctuations. In this paper, a proposed operational and control scheme is proposed for a DC wind farm (DCWF) attached to a high voltage direct current based voltage source converters (VSC-HVDC) system via a small-scale battery energy storage (BES) system. The main objective is to mitigate wind farm power fluctuations at the point of common coupling (PCC) in order to assist in ancillary services demanded by TSOs. Accordingly, the WF is made predictable, reliable and easily controllable power source as conventional generators. An average model for an offshore DCWF connected to a VSC-HVDC system integrated with BES is modeled in Matlab Simulink and different case studies are investigated Which validate the proposed scheme.
