In this paper, an industrial application-oriented wind farm automatic generation control strategy is proposed to stabilize the wind farm power output under power limitation conditions. A wind farm with 20 units that are connected beneath four transmission lines is the selected control object. First, the power-tracking dynamic characteristic of wind turbines is modeled as a first-order inertial model. Based on the wind farm topology, the wind turbines are grouped into four clusters to fully use the clusters’ smoothing effect. A method for frequency-domain aggregation and approximation is used to obtain the clusters’ power-tracking equivalent model. From the reported analysis, a model predictive control strategy is proposed in this paper to optimize the rapidity and stability of the power-tracking performance. In this method, the power set-point for the wind farm is dispatched to the clusters. Then, the active power control is distributed from the cluster to the wind turbines using the conventional proportional distribution strategy. Ultra-short-term wind speed prediction is also included in this paper to assess the real-time performance. The proposed strategy was tested using a simulated wind farm based on an industrial wind farm. Good power-tracking performance was achieved in several scenarios, and the results demonstrate that the performance markedly improved using the proposed strategy compared with the conventional strategy.
