Reasonable active power dispatch for wind farms can reduce the dynamic fatigue loads of wind turbines (WTs) and prolong the service lives of the WTs. An active power dispatch method for wind farms based on the improved fatigue load sensitivity of WT is proposed. According to the WT operating parameters, the fatigue load sensitivity to the power reference value is improved. The analytical equations of the fatigue load sensitivity are rederived, and the accuracies of the fatigue load sensitivity calculations are improved. The wind farm fatigue load minimization is taken as the target, the tracking power reference value is taken as the constraint, and the active power distribution model is established. The quadratic programming optimization algorithm is used to calculate the power reference of each WT. Case studies were conducted with wind farm control for different turbulent winds. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the rainflow cycles and the damage equivalent load.Reasonable active power dispatch for wind farms can reduce the dynamic fatigue loads of wind turbines (WTs) and prolong the service lives of the WTs.
