AUTOMATIC GENERATION CONTROL AUGMENTATION FOR WIND PLANT INTEGRATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for augmenting an automatic generation control of an energy management system grid, comprising:
- establishing a bilateral communication between a grid energy management system and a wind plant control system of a wind plant;
communicating a ramp rate signal from an automatic generation control of the grid energy management system in response to an area control error augmentation calculation performed by the automatic generation control to a wind plant supervisory control system; and
communicating wind plant control active power functions from the wind plant control system to the energy management system.

Abstract
An automatic generation control (AGC) augmentation system and method for wind power plant integration for controlling the power contribution to a grid by the wind plant is disclosed that provides for the calculation of the area control error (ACE) by actively communicating to the wind plant ramp rate limits and curtailment requests contributing to the ACE calculation. The augmented control of the ACE minimizes the amount of lost energy production by the wind plant.

6. A method for augmenting an automatic generation control of an energy management system of a grid, comprising:
-
establishing a unilateral communication between a grid energy management system and a wind plant control system of a wind plant; communicating a ramp rate signal from an automatic generation control of the grid energy management system in response to an area control error augmentation calculation performed by the automatic generation control to a wind plant supervisory control system; and communicating a request from the grid energy management system to the wind plant control system to curtail power as determined by a calculation of the area control error or the unit control error in the area generation control. - View Dependent Claims (7)
