With the increasing integration of new energy into the grid, the level of system inertia has been significantly reduced, posing a severe challenge to frequency stability. Consequently, there is an urgent need for wind turbine generators (WTGs) to actively provide inertia support through virtual inertia control. Assessing the inertia support capability of WTGs reasonably and setting appropriate controller parameters based on this assessment is a topic worthy of discussion. As WTGs’ characteristics are mostly ignored in the evaluation of inertia support capability for WTGs, an evaluation method based on symmetrical operation is proposed. The proposed method considers the impact of real inertia and aerodynamic characteristics, thereby helping to determine reasonable virtual inertia coefficients and de-loading reserve capacity for WTGs. With the proposed method, it can be determined that large WTGs can provide inertia support capabilities close to those of synchronous generators to the grid without exceeding a 0.1% reduction in reserve capacity during de-loading operation.
