The increasing
penetration of modern Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWTs) in microgrids
creates the problem of frequency stabilization due to reduced inertia of the
power system. To emulate the Inertia Response of the conventional synchronous
machines, wind turbines can be provided with an inertia emulation controller.
The modeling presented in this paper aims at equipping the modern Type D wind
turbine with inertia response and primary frequency control (PFC) capabilities.
Two controllers — inertial and droop, are implemented and their frequency
control capabilities are compared in an isolated power system which consists of
a conventional steam turbine generator and a wind farm. The results suggest
that proposed controllers help in better frequency control performance in the
microgrid.
