This paper presents a study about the frequency and power control in an autonomous power system consisting of wind turbines, diesel generation units and energy storage devices. The system configuration and operation principles of the power system are presented. The characteristics of the generation units are described. The frequency and power control is discussed on the basis of the characteristics of these generation units for providing customers with quality power with maximum wind energy capture and minimized diesel consumption. The models of the generation units, the power system and frequency-power control are developed and simulation studies have been performed under various conditions. The results are presented and discussed
