Constant active power operation using a wind farm controller

Abstract

This study shows that using a wind farm controller applied to wind turbine, the wind power output at point of common coupling (PCC) with different wind speeds can be controlled to an almost constant value by combining automatic determination of the target output according to the wind speed and suppression control of each wind turbine power output. Also, the responsiveness of the output increase by using the suppressed operation is obtained, and it may be data for quantitatively considering the possibility of grid demand control such as a load frequency control or a balancing control in wind power generation.
