“…Generic WT models developed by IEC 61400-27-1 have been implemented, simulated and validated using field measurements in several scientific contributions, following the IEC validation procedure [8,9,12,13]. In [8], a Type 3 WT developed by standard IEC 61400-27-1 was validated using the measurements of a real WT following the IEC guidelines.…”

The expansion of wind power around the world poses a new challenge that network operators must overcome, namely the integration of this renewable energy source into the grid. Comprehensive analyses involving time-domain simulations must be carried out to plan network operation and ensure power supply. In light of the above, and with the aim of extending the use of the wind turbine models developed by Standard IEC 61400-27-1 and assessing their performance according to national grid code requirements, an IEC Type 3 wind turbine model has been submitted for the first time to Spanish grid code PO 12.3. Indeed, there is a lack of studies submitting generic wind turbine models to national grid code requirements. The model’s behavior is compared with field measurements of an actual Gamesa G52 machine and with its detailed simulation model. The outcomes obtained have been comprehensively analyzed and the results of the validation criteria highlight that several modeling modifications, in the cases of non-compliance, must be implemented in the IEC-developed Type 3 model in order to comply with PO 12.3. Nevertheless, the results also show that when the transformer inrush current is not considered, the reactive power response of the generic Type 3 WT model meets the validation criteria, thus complying with Spanish PO 12.3.

“…To validate the generic Type 3 WT model and, in general, all IEC-developed WTs, they must be compared with field measurements, studying their accuracy and testing their performance. To carry out this work, standard IEC 61400-27-1 issued validation guidelines, on which different studies, mentioned later in this document, are based [8,9].…”

“…A generic type 4B model was validated against one voltage dip in [22], where the post-fault power oscillations were clearly observed. Generic type 3B and type 4A models, both from the same vendor, were validated in [5,8,12] based on the field results obtained from several test cases. It should be noted that the authors of the present work collaborated in most of the previously cited contributions, as well as being members of Working Group 27 of the IEC Technical Committee 88 in charge of the development of IEC 61400-27.…”

“…In this sense, the models developed by WT manufacturers are able to reproduce the behavior of their WTs with the greatest accuracy [5]. Nevertheless, the use of WT vendor models for transient stability analysis presents the following challenges: (i) they require specific simulation software [6], (ii) each vendor model is commonly subject to a non-disclosure agreement [7], (iii) each WT has specific controls depending on the manufacturer [8], (iv) increased accuracy is provided at the expense of increased complexity and number of parameters and, as a consequence, high computation time [9].…”

The participation of wind power in the energy mix of current power systems is progressively increasing, with variable-speed wind turbines being the leading technology in recent years. In this line, dynamic models of wind turbines able to emulate their response against grid disturbances, such as voltage dips, are required. To address this issue, the International Electronic Commission (IEC) 61400-27-1, published in 2015, defined four generic models of wind turbines for transient stability analysis. To achieve a widespread use of these generic wind turbine models, validations with field data are required. This paper performs the validation of three generic IEC 61400-27-1 variable-speed wind turbine model topologies (type 3A, type 3B and type 4A). The validation is implemented by comparing simulation results with voltage dip measurements performed on six different commercial wind turbines based on field campaigns conducted by three wind turbine manufacturers. Both IEC validation approaches, the play-back and the full system simulation, were implemented. The results show that the generic full-scale converter topology is accurately adjusted to the different real wind turbines and, hence, manufacturers are encouraged to the develop generic IEC models.

“…Thus, it is necessary to compare and analyze their responses under the most critical conditions, i.e., under voltage dips [13]. Indeed, in order to conduct a quantitative comparison, specific validation guidelines have been specifically developed by the IEC [14].…”

Forecasts for 2023 position wind energy as the third-largest renewable energy source in the world. This rapid growth brings with it the need to conduct transient stability studies to plan network operation activities and analyze the integration of wind power into the grid, where generic wind turbine models have emerged as the optimal solution. In this study, the generic Type 3 wind turbine model developed by Standard IEC 61400-27-1 was submitted to two voltage dips and implemented in two simulation tools: MATLAB/Simulink and DIgSILENT-PowerFactory. Since the Standard states that the responses of the models are independent of the software used, the active and reactive power results of both responses were compared following the IEC validation guidelines, finding, nevertheless, slight differences dependent on the specific features of each simulation software. The behavior of the generic models was assessed, and their responses were also compared with field measurements of an actual wind turbine in operation. Validation errors calculated were comprehensively analyzed, and the differences in the implementation processes of both software tools are highlighted. The outcomes obtained help to further establish the limitations of the generic wind turbine models, thus achieving a more widespread use of Standard IEC 61400-27-1.
