An energy storage of the flywheel is proposed which is an integral part of a wind turbine rotor. The rotor blades of a wind turbine are equipped with internal weights, which increase the inertia of the rotor. The inertia of this flywheel can be controlled by varying the position of the weights, ie by placing them closer to the center of rotation (closer to the hub) or closer to the tip of the blades. The simulation model used in this study is briefly introduced. The system of steering wheel equations is established. Finally, simulations of different scenarios show the performance of this controllable flywheel. The conclusion is that the proposed system can mitigate transients in the energy production of wind turbines. Therefore, it can withstand frequency control in a power system by contributing to the inertia of the power system. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
