description The kinetic energy stored in the doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG)-based wind farm can be utilized to sustain the dynamic system frequency. However, difficulties arise in determining the control gain to effectively improve the frequency nadir and smoothly return to the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operation. This paper addresses a two-phase short-term frequency response (STFR) scheme to boost the frequency nadir and minimize the second drop in the system frequency based on a piecewise control gain. To achieve the first goal, a constant control coefficient, which is determined according to the initial operating conditions of the DFIG-based wind farm, is employed until the frequency nadir produces. To achieve the second goal, the control coefficient, which changes with time, facilitates to smoothly return to the MPPT operation. The effectiveness of the proposed two-phase STFR scheme is verified under various wind power penetration levels, wind speeds, and disturbances. The results reveal that the frequency nadir is improved, and simultaneously, it smoothly returns to the MPPT operation and minimizes the second drop in the system frequency.
