Abstract
This paper proposes a temporary frequency-support scheme of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) that can improve the frequency nadir while ensuring rapid frequency stabilization, particularly for high wind power penetration levels (WPPLs). Upon detecting a disturbance, the power reference is increased by the incremental power and maintained for a preset period. The proposed incremental power varies with the rotor speed and WPPL. Then, to force the rotor speed to converge to a stable operating range, the reference decreases with the rotor speed. During the deceleration period, the proposed scheme releases less kinetic energy, which helps in the rapid recovery of the rotor speed. During the acceleration period, to accelerate the rotor speed recovery, the reference smoothly decreases with time and rotor speed until it reaches the maximum power point tracking curve. The test results, which are based on the IEEE 14-bus system, demonstrate that even though less kinetic energy is released, the proposed scheme can improve the frequency nadir while rapidly recovering the rotor speed under various wind conditions and penetration levels, but it is particularly effective for higher penetration levels. The scheme helps providing a promising solution to the ancillary services of a DFIG in a power system with high WPPLs.Keywords
