Conclusions & remarks
Variable speed WTs’ capabilities for inertia response and primary frequency control was studied
Suitable control systems for variable speed WTs need to be developed for integrating high amounts of wind power in the grid
Grid frequency stability can be improved combining WT inertia response and primary frequency control
Instability in wind turbines with bad settings of primary control and inertia response: Capability depends on the combination of droop value, power reserve and inertia emulation.
