Abstract

With the participation in automatic generation control (AGC), a large-scale wind farm should distribute the real-time AGC signal to numerous wind turbines (WTs). This easily leads to an expensive computation for a high-quality dispatch scheme, especially considering the wake effect among WTs. To address this problem, a hierarchical power control (HPC) is constructed based on the geographical layout and electrical connection of all the WTs. Firstly, the real-time AGC signal of the whole wind farm is distributed to multiple decoupled groups in proportion of their regulation capacities. Secondly, the AGC signal of each group is distributed to multiple WTs via the data-driven surrogate-assisted optimization, which can dramatically reduce the computation time with a small number of time-consuming objective evaluations. Besides, a high-quality dispatch scheme can be acquired by the efficient local search based on the dynamic surrogate. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is thoroughly verified with different AGC signals under different wind speeds and directions.
