As wind penetration increases in power systems around the world, new challenges to the controllability and operation of a power system are encountered. In particular, frequency response is impacted when a considerable amount of power-electronics interfaced generation, such as wind, is connected to the system. This paper uses small-signal analysis and dynamic simulation to study frequency response in power systems and investigate how Type-3 DFAG wind turbines can impact this response on a test power system, whose frequency response is determined mainly by a frequency-regulation mode. By operating the wind turbines in a deloaded mode, a proposed pitch-angle controller is designed using a root-locus analysis. Time simulations are used to demonstrate the transient and steady-state performance of the proposed controller in the test system with 25% and 50% wind penetration.
