Optimal capacity configuration of the wind-storage combined frequency regulation system considering secondary frequency drop
Abstract
With wind power integrated into the power system on a large scale, the system has become vulnerable to the frequency stability issue. The battery energy storage system (BESS) is considered the key solution to improving the system frequency regulation performance due to its fast response ability. Furthermore, the construction of wind-storage combined frequency regulation systems has been developed for many years, in which the optimal capacity configuration of the wind-storage system is getting more attention. However, the secondary frequency drop (SFD) caused by wind turbines (WTs) participating in primary frequency regulation (PFR) is neglected in most existing capacity configurations, which is worthy of further study. In this paper, the optimal capacity of the wind-storage combined frequency regulation system is studied from the perspective of SFD. The time-domain expressions of two-stage system frequency response considering SFD are derived based on the wind-storage combined frequency regulation model. Next, considering the technical and economic characteristics of wind-storage combined frequency regulation, an optimization model of the energy storage capacity configuration is established with the objective of minimizing the sum of the maximum frequency deviations in two stages and the energy storage cost. The optimization model is solved by the multi-objective salp swarm algorithm (MSSA) to obtain the setting value of wind-storage combined frequency regulation parameters and the optimal energy storage capacity. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in MATLAB. The simulation results show that the proposed model can effectively improve the frequency regulation effect of the system and ensure the optimal capacity configuration with better economy.
