Wind System Modeling

Wind farms are required to operate as power plants with participation in grid operations such as stability, dynamic performance and control. To understand and evaluate the impact of increasing wind turbine penetration on power system, power system dynamic studies need to be carried out through dynamic models of wind turbines. In this course, we will develop non-linear and liner dynamic models for wind turbines. The models can be implemented by general purpose simulation tools such as MATLAB. The models include asynchronous and synchronous machines of Types 1, 2, 3 and 4.
