A Hierarchical Inertial Control Scheme for Multiple Wind Farms With BESSs Based on ADMM

Abstract

Wind farms (WFs) can provide inertial response to power systems through synthetic inertial control. In large scale power systems with high penetration level of wind power, WFs are located in different areas with different wind speed conditions, and it is necessary to coordinate them during inertial control. This paper proposes a hierarchical inertial control (HIC) scheme consisting of a WF level coordination and a wind turbine (WT)/battery energy storage system (BESS) level coordination in active power outputs during inertial control process, in order to improve the system frequency response and reduce the operational cost of each WF. First, the optimal active power references of multiple WFs during inertial control are determined to improve the frequency nadir of the system. Second, the active power references of the WTs/BESS of each WF is optimized to avoid over-deceleration of the WTs' rotor, and minimize the wind energy loss and degradation cost of the BESS. The optimization is achieved by developing a model predictive control (MPC) problem and solving it using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) to improve the computation efficiency. Simulations on 5 WFs integrated into IEEE 39-bus system were conducted to validate the proposed HIC scheme.

Resilience assessment for natural gas systems and electrical power systems without complete integration

“…In the NGS constraints, the Weymouth equation in constraint (28) is nonlinear and nonconvex. The linearization approximation technique is adopted widely to reduce the model's computational complexity and make the solution feasible based on Taylor series expansion.…”

“…In the above‐distributed algorithm research, it is shown that the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) has the superiority for convergence and accuracy [23]. Applications of ADMM in integrated energy systems have been implemented in optimal energy flow [23], distributed state estimation [24], optimization scheduling [25], energy management [26], power market [27], stability analysis [28], and so on. Obviously, ADMM algorithm is widely used, which is suitable for addressing consensus coordination optimization problems.…”

A two-layer multi-energy management system for microgrids with solar, wind, and geothermal renewable energy

“…Battery energy storage (BES), as an effective and economical type of ESS, can provide energy flexibility for end-users based on various operational strategies (Jin et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2021). Extensive studies on BESs in various wind and solar microgrids focus on active power coordination (Bao et al, 2020a), real-time charging/discharging management (Zhou et al, 2017a;Zhou et al, 2017b), and long-term microgrid management (Ju et al, 2017). Nevertheless, the battery service life would considerably degrade during frequent charging and discharging.…”

Short-term frequency regulation of power systems based on DFIG wind generation

“…Some scholars put forward power reference-based short-term frequency regulation methods. Bao et al (2021) propose a hierarchical control scheme, which includes a wind farm level coordination, plus a wind turbines/battery energy storage system level coordination in active power outputs. Yang et al (2018) presents a dynamic frequency support scheme, which supplies constant power during the deceleration period, and smoothly decreases the output of a DFIG during the acceleration period.…”
