General Model for Representing Variable-Speed Wind Turbines in Power System Dynamics Simulations

Abstract

Abstract-A tendency to erect ever more wind turbines can be observed in order to reduce the environmental consequences of electric power generation. As a result of this, in the near future, wind turbines may start to influence the behavior of electric power systems by interacting with conventional generation and loads. Therefore, wind turbine models that can be integrated into power system simulation software are needed.In this contribution, a model that can be used to represent all types of variable speed wind turbines in power system dynamics simulations is presented. First, the modeling approach is commented upon and models of the subsystems of which a variable speed wind turbine consists are discussed. Then, some results obtained after incorporation of the model in PSS/E, a widely used power system dynamics simulation software package, are presented and compared with measurements.

Models for wind turbine generating systems and their application in load flow studies

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] are representative of one class of investigations, where the interest is in transient/dynamic behavior. The studies in refs.…”

New strategy of pitch angle control for energy management of a wind farm

“…The power coefficient depends on two parameters which are the TSR l and the orientation angle of the blades b [1]: …”

“…Indeed, taking into account the efforts undergone by the blades, the speed variation of this angle must be limited. It is limited to 10 /s for high wind variations and to 20 /s for very high wind variations [1,20]. The regulation of this angle is ensured by a proportional action regulator P generating a reference speed of the pitch variation.…”

“…The electric power is an essential factor for the development and the human society's evolution whether in the field of the living conditions improvement or in the industrial activities development [1]. In line with the liberalization of the electricity market, the tendency is currently directed toward the exploitation and the integration of the renewable resources to meet the energy needs on the one hand and to fight against massive outbursts of polluting gas on the other hand.…”

Impact of wind power generating system integration on frequency stabilization in multi-area power system with fuzzy logic controller in deregulated environment

“…The concept of releasing the kinetic energy of a WPGS when the frequency of the power system is reduced in order to prevent the reduction of system inertia is presented [1]. The experimental results of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine using converters [2], modeling of variable-speed wind turbine concepts in power system dynamic simulations [3], and impact assessment of high penetration of wind energy to the Irish network [4] are also available in literature. Frequency regulation and inertial support is also discussed in Refs.…”
