9. China's first offshore wind power primary frequency modulation test was successfully implemented in the National Energy Group

Recently, the National Energy Group Longyuan Power Jiangsu Sheyang Offshore Wind Farm, in cooperation with the Automation Department of Jiangsu Control Center, completed a dynamic test of a 405 MW offshore wind turbine primary frequency regulation, becoming the first offshore wind farm in China with primary frequency regulation.

The primary frequency regulation function is an important part of the safety evaluation of the grid connection of generators. It can ensure that the wind turbines can be connected to the grid in a safer, higher quality and more economical manner to a certain extent, so as to realize the optimal allocation of electric energy resources. Compared with the onshore wind farm units, the wind farm units are farther away from the onshore centralized control center, reaching more than 70 kilometers, which to a certain extent caused the problem of long communication delay between the centralized control center and the offshore wind turbines. The initial test results show that the response of offshore wind turbines has a long lag time for primary frequency modulation, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of the power grid. The successful completion of the test this time provides a comprehensive and accurate reference for my country to formulate relevant industry standards for offshore wind power primary frequency modulation.
