The microgrids supported by battery storage requires frequent maintenance and are prone to operational failures. So, the wind-powered agricultural pumping system is re-configured to form a hybrid microgrid with wind electric system (WES) and pico hydel energy storage (PHES) to meet the water and energy demands of the remote communities. As the frequency stability of autonomous microgrid is critical, a hierarchical frequency control framework is proposed in this paper. It has three different control aspects: firstly, novel droop augmented rapid power, and rapid speed control strategies are proposed for PHES. Secondly, the wind turbine is de-loaded by a dynamic droop integrated pitch angle controller to increase the inertial response of the system. Finally, a power management algorithm with suitable constraints is used to combine the control strategies of PHES and WES to derive the hierarchical frequency control framework. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is analysed through time-domain simulations using MATLAB/Simulink� by considering the change in wind speed, load, and the violation of water volume constraint. The proposed frequency control framework effectively managed the microgrid sources with suitable constraints and ensured minimal de-loading of the wind turbine. Furthermore, the framework also minimized the frequency nadir/peak and maintained the frequency within limits specified by the Indian Electricity Grid Code. � 2020 Elsevier Ltd Final 2023-05-29T09:08:04Z 2023-05-29T09:08:04Z 2021 Article 10.1016/j.ijepes.2020.106666 2-s2.0-85098092837 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85098092837&doi=10.1016%2fj.ijepes.2020.106666&partnerID=40&md5=f38ec315a7c137ec31c337ce188ad462 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/26234 127 106666 Elsevier Ltd Scopus
