Abstract

This study introduced a novel control approach based on fuzzy logic control (FLC) to enhance the frequency regulation capacity of variable-speed wind turbines (VSWTs). The proposed method integrates FLC within droop and inertia control loops. Real-time measurements of the system frequency and the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) serve as inputs to the FLC, enabling the method to improve the frequency response by VSWTs. In addition, the method employs FLC for pitch angle frequency control, optimizing reserve power for frequency regulation under varying wind speed levels. The innovative aspect of this study lies in the simultaneous application of FLC to pitch angle frequency control and droop/inertia control, leading to the enhanced frequency regulation capability of VSWTs and smoother operation across a range of wind speeds. Compared with traditional methods, the proposed approach provides a comprehensive and effective solution to the challenges associated with frequency regulation in VSWTs. Through simulations across different wind speed scenarios, the proposed control method demonstrated the best performance among various mature methods, highlighting the efficacy of the proposed method on the frequency regulation of VSWTs under different wind speeds. This study’s findings highlight the potential of the proposed FLC-based method to optimize frequency regulation and contribute to more reliable and efficient wind energy systems.
