Abstract:

Here, the flywheel energy storage system is used to stabilize the active power output of wind farms to make the change in active power in the wind farm meet the recommended value range of the active power change limit in the national standard. Based on the low-pass filtering method, the flywheel energy storage system responds to the high-frequency component of the active power output of the wind farm to reduce the impact of grid-connected power fluctuations on the primary frequency modulation of the power grid. A two-level optimization model with different cut-off frequencies and flywheel energy storage system power and capacity is established to obtain the optimal flywheel energy storage system capacity that meets the flywheel energy storage system's constraints and the requirements of wind power grid-connected active power changes and economic indicators. The outer model initializes the cut-off frequency of the frequency divider, obtains the high-frequency power command, and inputs it to the flywheel energy storage system. Conversely, the flywheel responds according to the reference power in the inner model. After connecting with the wind farm's power, the fluctuation degree of the active power of the grid point is verified. Furthermore, the flywheel energy storage system model is established; the simulation results show that the flywheel energy storage system can better respond to the power command and effectively suppress wind power fluctuation.

Key words: flywheel energy storage, active power output, low pass filtering, capacity of energy storage system
