description This paper presents an architecture for controlling grid-forming wind turbines, focusing on the frequency support features of grid-forming wind turbines based on doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), for the purpose of quantitatively analyzing their key parameters, including inertia time constant and droop coefficient. Based on the main differences between "grid-forming" control and "grid-following" control in the implementation of conversion system control, the initial analysis addressed the main principles of currently prevailing approaches: virtual synchronous control mode and droop control mode. Then, an electromagnetic model of grid-forming wind turbines was established based on the proposed architecture and PSCAD platform, incorporating active power-frequency (P-F) virtual synchronization control and active power-frequency droop control. Subsequent verification was conducted on technical aspects, including the key parameters and features of active frequency support. The results showed good response performance in inertia support for the virtual synchronization control mode, due to its imitation on synchronizer characteristics. It is feasible to achieve scenario-matching inertia support response by applying suitable time constants. Single wind turbine achieves an active support of 5.5% of the rated power when frequency change rate is 1 Hz/s. On the contrary, the grid-forming wind turbines utilizing the droop control mode exhibited diminished inertia support response, despite their good performance in responding primary frequency regulation,and the droop coefficient of wind turbine can be effectively adjusted between 5% and 10%.
