Motivation • Current and future rising of wind power • Stochastic nature of the wind: - Active power fluctuations of the wind farms - Balance between produced and consumed power - Grid frequency excursions • High penetration of cooling and heating loads, which cycle on and off • Grid Code requirements
Aim of the work • Studying the contribution of the demand side to the primary frequency control • Assessing the effect of positive ramp limitation (PRL) applied to the active power generated form wind, on both the frequency excursions and the Demand Response

Conclusions • Demand-side must be considered as a potencial contributor to the primary frequency control. • Simulations have shown a significant reduction of grid frequency excursions for a reasonable amount of controllable loads. • Only negative frequency errors have been considered for the Demand Response model.
Conclusions • Regulation techniques such as PRL can be usefull for improving the behaviour of big wind farms in the power system. • A 1% curtailment of the available wind power can reduce significantly the frequency fluctuations caused by wind farms.
