DFIG has the capability to participate in power system frequency modulation through inertial control by returning the energy stored in the rotating mass of the generator that is delivered to the grid. When frequency modulation occurs, the primary frequency drop can lead to a reduction in the rotor kinetic energy stored in the DFIG, which is subsequently used to produce extra active power to sustain the system frequency. However, once the available rotor kinetic energy is released, the output power of the DFIG abruptly drops to restore the rotor speed. To reduce the extent of the secondary frequency deviation caused by the inertial control of DFIGs, this paper applies an analytically derived approach to optimize the parameters of temporary primary frequency control during rotor speed recovery. Specifically, the parameters optimized include termination time and active power Simulation results conducted using DIGSILENT simulation software have demonstrated that the optimized temporary primary frequency control strategy is capable of effectively reducing the secondary frequency drop that may occur when the DFIG is removed from frequency control. Moreover, setting the optimal termination time and controlling the active power output while the rotor speed is being restored are crucial to prevent excessive mechanical wear and fatigue that may be induced by a too-rapid recovery of rotor speed.
