Modeling of Wind Turbines for Power System Studies

Journal article, 2002

In this paper the modelling of wind turbines for power system studies is investigated. Complexities of various parts of a wind turbine model, such as aerodynamic conversion, drive train, and generator representation, are analyzed. The results are verified by field measurements made on a stall-regulated fixed-speed wind turbine. The modelling focuses on deriving a representation that is suitable for use in grid simulation programs
