Abstract |
In this paper, control principles to perform black start services by offshore wind farms (OWFs)integrating grid-forming (GFM) control are presented. The strategy consists in exploiting a GFM batteryenergy storage system (BESS) to provide black start services by an OWF equipped by grid-followingwind turbines. Controller modelling and operation methodology are explained. In order to show theproposed control and operation principles, the analysis is implemented on the CIGRE Working GroupC4.49 benchmark, which could resemble modern large OWFs in the United Kingdom, such as HornseaProject 1 and 2. Analysis simulations in the software PSCAD show the success of the proposed strategy. |
