Popis: An asynchronous distributed optimal power control (OPC) scheme is proposed to minimize fatigue load in the wind farms (WFs) in this paper. To better satisfy the grid code, each wind turbine (WT) in the scheme is equipped with an energy storage system (ESS) at the DC link of the WT converter. Based on the WT topology, a WT-ESS control model is established, thus developing an OPC scheme to control the generator torque, pitch angle, and ESS output simultaneously for reducing fatigue load. By formulating the model predicted control (MPC)-based optimal problems, the virtual mechanical power control is proposed to regulate the ESSs output for clarifying the power interactions among WTs and ESSs. In order to achieve more effective control of the above three parameters among multiple WTs-ESSs, an asynchronous distributed alternating direction method of multipliers (AD-ADMM) is developed to simultaneously minimize the variations of thrust force, shaft torque, and flapping moment load of the WTs in a wider range. Considering the impact of communication delays, the proposed AD-ADMM algorithm has the higher time efficiency and system robustness. The convergence of the proposed AD-ADMM algorithm is analyzed, and several cases are used to validate the performance of the OPC scheme.© 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
