With the increasing wind power in power systems and the wide application of frequency regulation technology, the accurate calculation of the limit wind power capacity in systems is critical to ensure the stability of the frequency and guide the planning of wind power sources. This paper proposes an analytical method for calculating the maximum wind generation penetration under the constraints of frequency regulation control and frequency stability taking doubly fed induction generator as an example. Firstly, the frequency-domain dynamic model of the doubly fed induction generator is established considering the supplementary frequency proportion-differentiation control under small disturbance. The equivalent inertia time constant of the doubly fed induction generator is calculated. On this basis, the frequency response model of the power system with the consideration of wind power integration in frequency regulation control is constructed. Then, the frequency-domain analytical solution of the system frequency is obtained. Finally, with the constraint by the steady-state deviation and dynamic change rate of the system frequency, the maximum wind generation penetration is analytically solved. The accuracy of the proposed analytical calculation method for the limit value of the percentage of wind power is verified by MATLAB/Simulink.

Due to increasing demand in power, the integration of renewable sources like wind generation into power system is gaining much importance nowadays. The heavy penetration of wind power into the power system leads to many integration issues mainly due to the intermittent nature of the wind and the desirability for variable speed operation of the generators. As the wind power generation depends on the wind speed, its integration into the grid has noticeable influence on the system stability and becomes an important issue especially when a fault occurs on the grid. The protective disconnection of a large amount of wind power during a fault will be an unacceptable consequence and threatens the power system stability. With the increasing use of wind turbines employing Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology, it becomes a necessity to investigate their behavior during grid faults and support them with fault ride through capability. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a doubly fed induction generator according to grid code compatibility driven by a wind turbine connected to the grid. This paper analyses the voltage sag due to a three-phase fault in the wind connected grid. A control strategy including a crowbar circuit has been developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK to bypass the rotor over currents during grid fault to enhance the fault ride through capability and to maintain system stability. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies in DFIG based grid connected wind turbine system.

Wind turbines can participate in frequency regulation by controlling active power output, but the indeterminacy and volatility of wind power result in low reliability of frequency support. Therefore, as a kind of energy storage system, an electric vehicle is adopted to coordinate with wind turbines to regulate system frequency considering its large-scale development. First, based on the reasonable division of wind speed regions and operation point selection of pitch angle, the de-loading strategy of doubly-fed induction generator for reserve capacity under continuously varying wind speed is proposed. Then, through the combination of rotor speed and pitch angle control, frequency regulation model of a doubly-fed induction generator in whole wind speed range is established. Finally, taking into account the driving demand of electric vehicle owners, through the real-time allocation of system frequency regulation task based on frequency regulation capacity, the coordinated control strategy of doubly-fed induction generator and electric vehicle cluster for secondary frequency regulation is put forward. The simulation results show that the coordinated frequency regulation strategy based on real-time allocation can suppress frequency deviation effectively, and the regulation effect is better than the situations of wind turbine coordinating with the conventional unit or coordinating with electric vehicle cluster based on fixed allocation ratio.

The increase in wind power penetration, at 456 GW as of June 2016, has resulted in more stringent grid codes which specify that the wind energy conversion systems (WECS) must remain connected to the system during and after a grid fault and, furthermore, must offer grid support by providing reactive currents. The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) WECS is a well-proven technology, having been in use in wind power generation for many years and having a large world market share due to its many merits. Newer technologies such as the direct drive gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator have come up to challenge its market share, but the large number of installed machines ensures that it remains of interest in the wind industry. This paper presents a concise introduction of the DFIG WECS covering its construction, operation, merits, demerits, modelling, control types, levels and strategies, faults and their proposed solutions, and, finally, simulation. Qualities for the optimal control strategy are then proposed. The paper is intended to cover major issues related to the DFIG WECS that are a must for an overview of the system and hence serve as an introduction especially for new entrants into this area of study.
