Study on frequency characteristics of receiving power system with large-scale offshore wind power generation

Abstract

With the rapid development of offshore wind power and large-scale grid connection, the mechanical inertia and frequency regulation ability of the power system are greatly reduced, which seriously affects the frequency stability of the receiving end power grid. Aiming at the frequency stability analysis of large-scale offshore wind power connected to the receiving end power grid, this paper proposes a frequency response aggregation model which includes the frequency limiting controller (FLC) and the wind turbine generator (WTG) with frequency modulation (FM) capability. The rationality of model aggregation and the stability of transfer function are proved by theoretical analysis. Taking a southern province in China as an example, the effects of wind turbine generator access form and DC block capacity on different frequency response indexes are analyzed by using the proposed frequency response aggregation model. Through theoretical and simulation analysis, the correlation of system inertia, FM capacity and DC FLC capacity with frequency deviation nadir and quasi-steady state frequency index is obtained, and the relevant conclusions affecting frequency stability indexes are drawn. Finally, through the model simulation method, the improvement of the system frequency stability when the wind turbine provides inertia and primary FM support is analyzed. This paper concludes that when the wind power penetration is in the range of 10%∼40% and the wind power assisted frequency modulation capacity reaches 5% of the installed capacity, the minimum frequency of the system can be maintained above 49.5 Hz.
