Inertial Response Coordination between wind-Conventional Power Plant

The motivation for this book is to enhancement of inertial response of power system by inertial response coordination between wind and conventional power plants. As wind turbine technology differs significantly from conventional generators (synchronous generators) the dynamic characteristic of the electrical power network may be drastically changed and hence the requirements for network control may also be different. In addition, new grid code regulations for connection of large wind farms now impose the requirement that wind farms should be able to contribute to network support in inertial and primary frequency response of the power system. To address these challenges good knowledge of wind generation dynamic models, control capabilities and interaction with power system becomes critical. The book aims to provide a basic understanding of impacts of high penetration of variable speed wind turbines on the inertial response of the system, and to examine the control philosophies and schemes that enable the reliable, and secure control of generation systems.
