Abstract

A multi-farm wind power dispatch management system is provided which includes wind turbine dispatch controllers for controlling wind power dispatch of respective wind farm components and wind farm dispatch management systems for receiving respective wind farm component operating parameters and generating respective farm-level operating parameters. The system also includes group dispatch management systems for receiving the farm-level operating parameters and generating respective group level operating parameters. The system also includes a master dispatch management system for receiving the group-level operating parameters; computing a real time output power generated by the wind farm components; determining a difference between the real time output power and a committed output power; and generating reference commands, based on the difference, for controlling at least one of, the wind farm component operating parameters, the farm-level operating parameters, the group level operating parameters, or combinations thereof to reduce the difference and dispatch the committed output power.
