<span lang="EN-US">In this paper, we study the primary frequency control that allows the variable speed Aeolian to participate in the frequency regulation when a failure affects the network frequency. This method based on the control of the generator rotational speed or the control of pitch angle makes it possible to force the wind turbine to produce less power than its maximum available power, consequently we will create an active power reserve. This wind turbine must inject into the grid a part of its power reserve when the frequency drops, in contrary the wind turbine reserves more of energy. So, this work presents the performances of this control strategy for the different wind speed value. The results are obtained by a simulation in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.</span>

Participation of a wind turbine (WT) in primary frequency control (PFC) requires reserving some active power. The reserved power can be used to support the grid frequency. To maintain the required amount of reserve power, the WT is de-loaded to operate under its maximum power. The objective of this article is to design a control method for a WT system to maintain the reserved power of the WT, by controlling both pitch angle and rotor speed simultaneously in order to optimize the operation of the WT system. The pitch angle is obtained such that the stator current of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is reduced. Therefore, the resistive losses in the machine and the conduction losses of the converter are minimized. To avoid an excessive number of pitch motor operations, the wind forecast is implemented in order to predict consistent pitch angle valid for longer timeframe. Then, the selected pitch angle and the known curtailed power are used to find the optimal rotor speed by applying a nonlinear equation solver. To validate the proposed de-loading approach and control method, a detailed WT system is modeled in Matlab/Simulink (The Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA, 2017). Then, the proposed control scheme is validated using hardware-in-the-loop and real time simulation built in Opal-RT (10.4.14, Opal-RT Inc., Montreal, PQ, Canada).

For the rotor speed of variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) is decoupled from system frequency, the system equivalent rotary inertia and primary frequency control ability are decreased with wind power penetration growing continuously. To solve the problems, VSWT with additional frequency control was studied. The dynamic characteristics of input and output power of VSWT during participating in system frequency regulation are analyzed. The relationships between the active power increments and the duration of VSWT participating frequency control are quantified. A coordination frequency control strategy base on time sequence control is proposed. According to the control strategy, the VSWTs can participate in frequency regulation depending on the coordination of wind speed, power increments and duration. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy, which can make full use of the frequency regulation ability of VSWTs as well as minimize the negative effects on system frequency.

Wind energy is a clean and desirable power source, but wind turbines can potentially operate to the detriment of grid stability. As wind turbine penetration increases, concerns grow regarding power intermittency and frequency regulation. These factors motivate a need for control methodologies that enable a wind turbine to support grid frequency regulation. In this paper, a control design is proposed for a wind turbine to operate in conjunction with a backup synchronous generator for primary frequency control in a microgrid. The proposed design capitalizes on the idea that the wind turbine has a significant amount of rotational inertia in its rotor, and so the power output of the wind turbine can be rapidly adjusted for frequency support via power electronic commands. A novel torque controller is proposed to quickly track the commanded power output without causing wind turbine instability, and an H2 gain-scheduled pitch controller has been developed to optimally track the commanded power output while avoiding turbine overspeeding. The proposed design may be used for either un-deloaded or deloaded wind turbine operation, depending on the available wind power. Simulation results show that the proposed wind turbine frequency control effectively enhances the grid frequency response by reducing the frequency deviation from its nominal value following a power imbalance event.

Traditional decoupling control strategy of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine makes little contribution to system inertia and do not participate in the system frequency control, the synchronization of large-scale wind power requires wind turbine have the ability to participate in the regulation of power system frequency. This paper adds a frequency control segment to traditional DFIG wind turbine and considers the doubly-fed wind turbine operating on the state of the super-synchronous speed, by analysis the effect of inertia and proportional control strategies, a fuzzy control strategy which combines the advantages of the former two control strategies is proposed, simulation results show that this control strategy can more effectively improve the system frequency response.
