Abstract: To promote the frequency stability of a system with high penetration of wind power integrated into it, this paper presents a systematic frequency regulation strategy for wind farms (WFs). As preparation for frequency response, a coordinated deloading control (CDC) scheme combining the over-speed control (OSC) and the pitch angle control (PAC) methods is proposed for wind turbine generators (WTGs) to preserve power reserve. The novelty lies in the consideration of high wind speed situations and pitch angle protection. Then, a group-based droop control (GBDC) scheme is proposed for a WF consisting of WTGs with the CDC. In this scheme, WTGs are divided into two groups for different controls. To improve the frequency response performance and ensure stable operation, the droop coefficients of the WF, groups, and all WTGs are determined according to their frequency regulation capabilities (FRCs). Moreover, pitch angle protection during the frequency response process is considered in this scheme. The effectiveness of the GBDC scheme is verified by comparing it with several existing droop control schemes in various situations.
