Coordinated Operation of an ESS-Integrated Wind Turbine for Inertial Support

Abstract

The increasing penetration of converter-interfaced renewable generation reduces the natural inertia available in modern power systems, leading to higher rates of change of frequency (RoCoF) during disturbances. This paper investigates the capability of an energy storage system (ESS) integrated wind turbine to provide inertial support. A control strategy that enables the wind turbine to emulate inertia while operating in maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mode is presented. In addition, the capability of a DC-link connected supercapacitor to deliver fast inertial response (IR) is analyzed. A coordinated control strategy is proposed that prioritizes the ESS due to its fast response and lack of recovery effects. At the same time, the wind turbine's kinetic energy (KE) is used as a supplementary source when required. The proposed approach is evaluated in the MATLAB/Simulink environment under a worst-case frequency disturbance scenario. Simulation results demonstrate that both the wind turbine and the SC can effectively contribute to IR while respecting system and converter limitations.
