Abstract

With the increasing proportion of renewable energy in power grids, the inertia level and frequency regulation capability of modern power systems have declined. In response, this paper proposes a coordinated frequency regulation strategy integrating power generation, energy storage, and DC transmission for offshore wind power MMC-HVDC transmission systems, aimed at improving the frequency stability of onshore power grids. First, considering the inability of the receiving-end MMC-HVDC converter station under constant DC voltage control to directly respond to AC system frequency variations, a frequency regulation method is developed based on constant DC voltage control. The approach employs DC voltage as a transmission signal to coordinate the responses of wind turbines and energy storage systems. Subsequently, based on the energy storage configuration of the onshore renewable energy aggregation station, a secondary frequency regulation strategy is proposed. This strategy integrates offshore wind power, MMC-HVDC transmission system, and energy storage systems, balancing AC frequency regulation and the recovery of the state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage system. Finally, the proposed method is tested on a modified IEEE 39-bus system, the results demonstrate that the minimum frequency value can be in-creased by 37.5%, the system frequency can be restored to the initial state after secondary FM, and the results demonstrate its effectiveness.
