Abstract

High penetration of wind farms into the power grid lowers system inertia and compromises stability. This paper proposes a grid-forming control strategy for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) wind turbines based on DC-link voltage matching and virtual inertia. First, a relationship between grid frequency and DC-link voltage is established, replacing the need for a phase-locked loop. Then, DC voltage dynamics are utilized to trigger a real-time switching of the power tracking curve, releasing the rotor’s kinetic energy for inertia response. This is further coordinated with a de-loading control that maintains active power reserves through over-speeding or pitch control. Finally, the MATLAB/Simulink simulation results and RT-LAB hardware-in-the-loop experiments demonstrate the capability of the proposed control strategy to provide rapid active power support during grid disturbances.
