In the frequency support method, a state that can reflect a frequency modulation capability of a wind turbine is designed, measured, and recorded as a consistency factor of frequency modulation.

In this way, the states of the wind turbines in the wind farm are similar during the frequency support process, so that a reasonable distribution of frequency support power is achieved.
