Evaluation of the effects of the representation of the synthetic inertia in the doubly-fed induction generators wind turbine in the control of frequency

The constant pursuit of sustainable development through the use of clean and renewable energy sources has fostered the growth of wind energy on the world stage. As a result, the production of electric energy through wind turbines reached a maturity stage that places it as a participant in the energy matrix in several countries where this natural resource is available, with a projection to have a significant participation in the world energy matrix in the coming decades. The integration of large wind power plants and wind farms into the electricity system has raised concerns about their impacts on frequency control and stability issues, as wind farms with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) engines and turbines with power converters do not contribute to system Inertia. As a result, the replacement of conventional generating units by wind farms results in the reduction of the total moment of inertia, causing a deterioration of the quality of the frequency in front of major disturbances. The wind power industry has developed a controller to allow inertial response in wind turbine generators, called Synthetic Inertia. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to discover the impact of integrating wind energy into the stability / maintenance of the frequency of the system and to evaluate the effects of the inertia emulation in wind turbines based on power converters and their impact at the moment of total inertia of the System after the occurrence of frequency disturbances.
