Abstract
Environmentally friendly energy sources such as wind and solar are progressively supplying a sizeable amount of the world's electrical demands. Although there are other energy sources, wind energy is expanding most quickly. Kinetic energy (KE) is made available in wind turbines by rotor speed alternation. The frequency stability of the power system is influenced by intermittent supply, variation in projected energy load, and the volatility of wind power. Thus, the fundamental challenge in the energy system continues to maintain the grid's frequency of control while balancing the demand and supply of electricity. This issue can be resolved by developing variable-speed wind turbines (VSWTs) with frequency regulating capabilities for frequency contingencies. This work gives a general overview of how KE from WTs is used for grid connection. In connection to frequency regulation in the grid while using kinetic energy from wind turbines, it also thoroughly examines frequency regulation methods for VSWTs.
