Abstract

With the increasing penetration of wind power into the grid, its intermittent and fluctuating characteristics pose a challenge to the frequency stability of grids. Energy storage systems (ESSs) are beginning to be used to assist wind farms (WFs) in providing frequency support due to their reliability and fast response performance. However, the current schemes mostly focused on the sole operation of either WT or ESSs for frequency support, lacking in economy and reliability. To address these issues, this work proposes a sliding mode consensus control (SMCC) method for ESSs to assist the frequency response of WTs. First, a coordination strategy for the WTs and ESS is proposed to reinforce the frequency support capability of a WT–ESS by determining the optimal capacity of ESSs. Meanwhile, a novel SMCC is proposed to achieve proportional power sharing among ESSs and increase the total power output of the entire WFs during wind energy shortages. Moreover, an event triggered communication mechanism is utilized to reduce the information exchanges among ESSs. Subsequently, a Lyapunov stability analysis is conducted to prove the stability and finite time consensus of the proposed method. Simulation case studies are conducted in IEEE 39-bus system to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
