In recent years, the development and utilization of China’s wind energy resources have been greatly developed, but the large-scale wind power grid connection has brought threats to the safe and stable operation of the power grid. In order to ensure the stability of the power grid, it is necessary to reduce wind power output fluctuation and improve the tracking accuracy of dispatch instructions. Therefore, based on the distributed model predictive control of wind farm active power distribution strategy, an ultra-short-term wind power hybrid deep learning predictive model is proposed. The prediction results of a wind farm in North China show that the hybrid neural network model can achieve high ultra-short-term wind power prediction accuracy and is suitable for active power control prediction models. A two-layer distributed model is proposed to predict the active power control architecture of wind farms by implementing the clustering process with the Crow Search Algorithm. The distributed model predictive control strategy is proposed in the upper layer, and the centralized model predictive control algorithm is adopted in the lower control structure and optimized. The results show that the dual-layer distributed model predictive control strategy can better track the active power distribution instructions, reduce output fluctuation and scheduling value changes, and enhance the robustness of active power regulation, which is suitable for active power online control in wind farms.
