A Novel Frequency Regulation Strategy for a PV System Based on the Curtailment Power-Current Curve Tracking Algorithm

The challenges of modern power systems with a high level of renewable generation penetration will impose increased ancillary service on Photovoltaic (PV) systems, including frequency regulation. In this paper, a frequency regulation strategy for PV systems without energy storage is proposed. The pro...

description The challenges of modern power systems with a high level of renewable generation penetration will impose increased ancillary service on Photovoltaic (PV) systems, including frequency regulation. In this paper, a frequency regulation strategy for PV systems without energy storage is proposed. The proposed strategy is divided into two layers: the frequency regulation layer and the power reserve control layer. In the power reserve control layer, a novel power reserve control is proposed as the core element and novel feature. The existing power reserve control for PV systems must estimate the maximum available power, which is difficult because of the variation in environmental conditions and complex modeling of PV systems. Instead, a power tracking control method based on a curtailment power-current curve is proposed. It can automatically track a given reserve ratio under any environmental condition without an irradiance sensor. In the frequency regulation layer, the combination of droop control and virtual inertia control is used to adjust the given power reserve ratio. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy offers good accuracy and tracking speed and can significantly improve the frequency response of the power system.
