    Abstract

    With rapid growth of installed wind power capacity worldwide and significant development of wind turbine generator (WTG) technologies, WTGs gradually have the capability to participate in system frequency regulation. To this regard, an overview of grid-integration codes on WTG’s frequency regulation in several typical countries is first carried out. Then, typical WTG frequency control strategies, such as inertial emulation, de-loading control, overproduction, and droop control, are investigated in detail to reflect the development of related WTG technologies. In particular, existing research works about frequency coordination control at three levels, WTG level, wind-farm level, and system level, are discussed in depth and summarized. Future trends are discussed in the end.
