[Introduction] Large-scale connection of wind power to the power grid poses great challenges to the stability (especially frequency stability) of grid operation.In order to solve the problem of inadequate frequency regulation capability caused by large-scale connection of wind power to the power grid and improve the frequency adaptability of wind power grid connection, wind turbines need to have frequency regulation function and response timeliness. [Method] This paper adopted a frequency regulation system scheme based on rotor kinetic energy and pitch angle reserve, which could provide active support for the power grid quickly and accurately during the power grid frequency change. Firstly, the main control algorithm was designed based on the theoretical analysis of inertia response and primary frequency regulation algorithm logic. Then, the functional verification was carried out on the co-simulation platform. Finally, the actual test was carried out in a project.[Result] The simulation and test results showed that the frequency regulation system scheme based on rotor kinetic energy and pitch angle reserve could cope with a variety of grid frequency changes and quickly provided active support. [Conclusion] The frequency regulation system scheme of wind turbines can perform a fast inertia response (with the response time less than 500 ms) and primary frequency regulation response (with the response time less than 5 s) under various frequency change conditions and provide active support for the power grid, which can help recover the grid frequency and effectively improve the frequency adaptability of wind turbines
