Abstract
This paper investigates the limits to frequency response capabilities of wind turbines equipped with full converters and permanent magnet generators. It takes as a base case real frequency excursions on the GB network and demonstrates control methods to emulate a conventional power plant. However, it shows that droop may be limited to 4% or less and the effective inertial constant may not exceed 3 seconds without increased drive ratings.
