Abstract

Recently, the use of wind energy conversion system (WECS) is increasing all over the world. Wind generators with several mega-watt rating have been developed and installed in wind farms, therefore, the influence of WECS on power system is becoming greater. Particularly a frequency variation of power system is a significant problem. This will damage to power quality, and cause a restriction of wind farm introduction. This paper proposes an application of flywheel energy storage system with a wind farm to improve the network frequency stabilization. The proposed method is evaluated by simulation
