The article presents an original simulation model of a wind farm (WF) consisting of 30 wind turbine-generator units connected to the electrical power system (EPS) through power converters. The model is dedicated to the evaluation of the WF capabilities to participate in frequency and voltage regulation services in the power system. A system that allows for frequency and voltage control is proposed and implemented in the presented model. The system includes primary frequency regulation with synthetic inertia and secondary regulation available on request from the system operator. The concept of a reference power generation unit was introduced, according to which only one wind generator unit was modeled in detail, and the other units were replaced with simple current sources. Such a solution allowed for the reduction of size and complexity of the model as well as shortened the simulation time. Simulation tests were conducted in the PSCAD/EMTDC environment for an electrical power system composed of the wind farm, a synchronous generator, and a dummy load. The performance of the wind farm control system was analyzed in different operation conditions, and the control capabilities of the farm were assessed. Selected simulation results are presented and discussed in the paper. They illustrate the regulatory properties of the WF and confirm the correctness of the developed model.

This paper proposes a comparative study among a widely known optimal control approach (Linear Quadratic Gaussian-LQG) and a novel predictive one (Unrestricted Horizon Predictive Controller-UHPC) for the pitch control of a grid-connected wind turbine. The main challenge for the use of predictive controllers in power systems is the size of plant's model and controller's sampling time, which increase substantially the computational cost. On the other hand, the UHPC promises a lower computational cost, which is a welcome feature for power system applications. For the development of this work, first, the wind turbine is implemented at a simulation environment to allow its linearization and state-space modelling. Later, both controllers are presented and equated. Finally, the wind turbine is modelled and simulated in two benchmark systems: a Single-Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system and a 11-bars test system. The simulation results show that the UHPC presents lower control oscillations for external perturbations of the grid, leading to less mechanical stress on the generator, which tends to increase its lifespan.
