In this paper, a wind-turbine active power control strategy is proposed from the cluster level to optimize the active power set-point for each wind turbine in a specific cluster. The wind turbine power tracking characteristic is described as an inertial link to establish the power tracking predictive model, and the model predictive control (MPC) method is used to optimize the cluster power demand and output. Time-varying constraints are proposed to coordinate the power output for different time-scale wind turbines and sustain that the cluster has enough fast-tracking capacity when the cluster power demand changes. Under different scenarios, the proposed strategy is tested to verify the effectiveness in improving the power output stability and frequency support ability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
