    Abstract:

    In this paper, the dynamic coupling between the wind turbine rotor speed recovery (WTRSR) and inertial response of the conventional virtual synchronous generator (VSG) controlled wind farms (WFs) is analyzed. Three distinguishing features are revealed. Firstly, the inertial response characteristics of VSG controlled WFs (VSG-WFs) are impaired by the dynamic coupling. Secondly, when the influence of WTRSR is dominant, the inertial response characteristics of VSG-WFs are even worse than the condition under which WFs do not participate in the response of grid frequency. Thirdly, this phenomenon cannot be eliminated by only enlarging the inertia parameter of VSG-WFs, because the influence of WTRSR would also increase with the enhancement of inertial response. A decoupling scheme to eliminate the negative influence is then proposed in this paper. By starting the WTRSR process after inertial response period, the dynamic coupling is eliminated and the inertial response characteristics of WFs are improved. Finally, the effectiveness of the analysis and the proposed scheme are verified by simulation results.
