“…This model is based on the idea that from the Point of Common Coupling (PCC), the machine performance is not relevant, because it is decoupled from the grid by a power converter [7]. Therefore, the drive train model, synchronous machine and machine-side converter can be omitted.…”

Wind power has achieved technological evolution, and Grid Code (GC) requirements forced wind industry consolidation in the last three decades. However, more studies are necessary to understand how the dynamics inherent in this energy source interact with the power system. Traditional energy production usually contains few high power unit generators; however, Wind Power Plants (WPPs) consist of dozens or hundreds of low-power units. Time domain simulations of WPPs may take too much time if detailed models are considered in such studies. This work discusses reduced order models used in interconnection studies of synchronous machines with full converter technology. The performance of all models is evaluated based on time domain simulations in the Simulink/MATLAB environment. A detailed model is described, and four reduced order models are compared using the performance index, Normalized Integral of Absolute Error (NIAE). Models are analyzed during wind speed variations and balanced voltage dip. During faults, WPPs must be able to supply reactive power to the grid, and this characteristic is Energies 2014, 7 7695 analyzed. Using the proposed performance index, it is possible to conclude if a reduced order model is suitable to represent the WPPs dynamics on grid studies.

Abstract.Renewable generation has undergone an enormous increase in the last decade all over the world, in terms of energy, installed power and number of plants. In order to cope with a huge number of connection applications, system operators are detailing specific procedures for verifying the compliance of the plant performance to the grid code requirements. This paper reviews the procedures used by system operators of different countries with the objective of introducing actual practices and highlighting the similarities and differences among countries. In general, for plants that include multiple similar units, the compliance procedure includes a mixture of commissioning tests and simulations results, with the later used for plant model validation purposes. Also, for some specific requirements only simulation results are accepted for the entire plant, when a single unit has been validated against measurements for the same requirement.

“…In order to reduce the negative effects of grid connection, the grid code of all countries has introduced more and more strictly requirements, such as high accuracy of wind farm power forecasting 907 system, multiple ways of active power regulation, fast and efficient reactive power regulation like voltage control, power factor regulation and reactive power regulation [3][4][5]. Meanwhile, high accuracy and complex wind farm and wind turbine model has provided a strong basis for grid planning, dispatching, operation, scientific research and other fields [6][7][8]. This paper will introduce a kind of method to realize advanced wind farm reactive power control system, which contains a wind farm calculator, transformer and feeder compensation, and wind turbine var distribution system, and then it implement the advanced control system into the modeling platform using DIgSILENT and Matlab to realize the function and performance; at last, we use the optimized advanced control system in a wind farm which contains 33 sets of 1.5MW wind turbines to compare the control result with simulation, where the parameter of facilities and control system is almost the same.…”

In order to regulate the voltages of Point of Common Coupling (PCC) and single wind turbine in a wind farm, it is necessary to control the output of reactive power of wind turbines, and in some case, it also need to control static var compensators (SVCs) or static var generators (SVGs) of the wind farm to satisfy the voltage set-point requirement. The accuracy of reactive power control system decides the control level of grid voltage. In order to improve the accuracy, this paper introduces modeling and simulation method of wind farm reactive power control system using DIgSILENT  and MATLAB . At first, it introduces the modeling process and co-calling principle of the two kinds of software tools, and then emphasizes that it develops a kind of advanced wind farm reactive power control logic to realize control accuracy improvement in MATLAB, whereas the power quality and distribution logic of reactive power among wind turbines are simulated and assessed. In the end, taking an Inner Mongolia wind farm with 33 double-fed wind turbines as a test application, the wind farm reactive power control model is verified by comparing real wind farm operating data and simulation results, and the result shows that the accuracy of reactive power control system is higher than traditional method.
