Impact Of VSC-HVDC In Frequency Regulation Of Offshore Wind Farms

Abstract

The emerging large offshore wind farms represent a promising and efficient power production technology. The generating capacities of offshore plants are much large when compared to onshore plants. This is because of availability of high wind penetration at offshore sites. These offshore wind farms are subjected to random variation of turbine speed, due to the high wind penetration. This leads to abnormal variation of frequency of output power generated and fed to the AC power grid. The offshore wind farms are however required to provide a rapid frequency regulation as like the conventional power plants utilizing synchronous generators. But the inertial support of the wind farm may lead to damage of wind turbines, rotating at high speeds. Thus the integration of large offshore wind farms with AC power grid becomes a difficult task. To overcome this various technologies are available. This work presents a Voltage Source Converter based High Voltage DC transmission system (VSC based HVDC) which represents the most competitive and feasible solution for integration of offshore wind farms with AC power grid. Thus providing an efficient frequency regulation for the system. The results are obtained from simulations performed through MATLAB simulink software.
