Decentralized Grid-Forming Control Strategy and Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of High-Penetration Wind Power Microgrids.

As wind power generation transits from centralized development mode to decentralized on-site consumption mode, microgrid (MG) can provide an efficient solution for wind power integration into the distribution network. However, the high-penetration wind power MG is the typical weak power grid system. The traditional wind turbine generator (WTG) participates in system frequency regulation through grid-following current source, which relies on the phase-locked loop for voltage phase synchronization and is unable to provide strong frequency support in weak power grid conditions. To fill this gap, this paper presents a decentralized grid-forming control strategy of high-penetration wind power MG. A wind power adaptive dynamic droop mechanism considering wind energy characteristics and rotor speed dynamic is proposed, cooperating with the implementation of wind maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for economical operation. A detailed small-signal model for voltage source wind power-based system considering electromechanical transients and adaptive droop mechanism is developed. The dominant modes are figured out and the critical control parameters are established and optimized. The proposed wind power adaptive droop mechanism can effectively provide frequency regulation and robust control performance. Theoretical analysis, time-domain simulation results and hardware-in-the-loop experiments under various scenarios verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
