| Summary: | With the rapid development of photovoltaic and wind power, the penetration rate of renewable energy in power system is gradually increasing. This escalation poses a challenge as it results in a continuous reduction in the inertia and damping of the power grid, accentuating the issue of frequency stability in power systems. It is one of the effective measures to deal with this risk that renewable energy sources such as wind turbines actively provide frequency support for power grid. This paper carries out research into the examination of wind turbines’ capacity to contribute to system frequency support, considering two aspects: inertia support and primary frequency regulation capabilities. Subsequently, the frequency control method of the wind turbine support system is analyzed, emphasizing the roles of rotor kinetic energy control and power reserve control in facilitating frequency support. The evaluation of the transient frequency support capability of wind turbines is introduced, incorporating factors such as control methods, controller parameters, and the duration of transient frequency support. Key metrics, including accumulated energy and frequency change rate indices during the transient frequency support stage, are proposed to quantitatively assess the transient frequency support capability of wind turbines. These indices provide a comprehensive framework for the quantitative evaluation of wind turbine transient frequency support capabilities.
