Mid-Term Frequency Regulation using DFIG-Based Wind Turbine

The increasing penetration of wind power generations in Power Systems, brings new challenges for the system operation, particularly regarding active power balanceand frequency control. This paper, presents an assessment on frequency control capability of doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) wind turbines in Modern Power systems. The windreserve allocation according to available wind energy is proposed.
