Optimal Configuration of Energy Storage System Coordinating Wind Turbine to Participate Power System Primary Frequency Regulation

Abstract

Large scale wind power integration has a negative influence on the frequency response. Assistant measurement improves the frequency stability of power systems under high wind penetration. The Proportional Curtailment Strategy (PCS) for wind turbines provides a primary frequency reserve for power systems. To solve the worthless curtailed wind power, the PCS is used to improve the utilization of wind power curtailment. Then the wind turbine and the lithium battery Energy Storage System (ESS) provide primary frequency reserves together. Different control strategies of ESS have been proposed based on the different methods for selecting valid reserves. The economic benefits of different control strategies have been compared based on the same frequency regulation reserve. The optimal control strategy is the maximum method. The economic benefit of the maximum value method is ¥4,445,300.
