Abstract:

Aiming at the complex control problem wherein a hybrid flywheel array composed of an inertia flywheel and a high-speed flywheel participates in grid inertia response and primary frequency modulation, this paper first introduces the concepts of magnetic suspension inertia flywheel and high-speed flywheel energy storage, as well as the architecture and working mechanism of the inertia flywheel array and high-speed flywheel array that participate in grid inertia response and primary frequency modulation. Secondly, the mathematical and control models of the flywheel energy storage system are established, and two control strategies are proposed: one is a collaborative control strategy based on inertia control and sag control, involving the inertia flywheel and high-speed flywheel array in grid inertia response and primary frequency modulation; the other is a control strategy based on inertia response and primary frequency modulation, respectively. Through simulation, the frequency modulation effects of the two control strategies are compared in terms of frequency change, frequency change rate and recovery time. The simulation results verify the correctness and feasibility of the two strategies, and they exhibit different advantages in the inertia response and primary frequency modulation stages.
