It is time for a change
Wind generation capacity no longer “invisible”
60 GW worldwide, 40 GW in Europe, >9 GW in the US,
>4 GW in the WECC footprint
Some regions experiencing high saturation levels
Significant expansion expected in the near future
Adequate simulation models are indispensable
Evaluate impact of adding new generators
Perform planning studies to maintain system reliability
at the local and regional level
The Status Quo is not acceptable
One-of-a-kind, proprietary models unnecessarily difficult
to refine, validate, and maintain
Yet another A different modeling effort

Mission statement
Invest best efforts to accomplish the following:
Develop a small set of generic (non-vendor specific),
non-proprietary, positive-sequence power flow and
dynamic models suitable for representation of all
commercial, utility-scale WTG technologies in large
scale simulations
The models should be suitable for typical transmission
planning and system impact studies
Develop a set of best practices to represent wind
plants using generic models as basic building blocks
Coordinate directly with wind manufacturers and
other stakeholder groups outside WECC
Proposed standard models
Four basic topologies based on grid interface
Type 1 – conventional induction generator
Type 2 – wound rotor induction generator with variable
rotor resistance
Type 3 – doubly-fed induction generator
Type 4 – full converter interface

Technical issues
Complexity vs. completeness
Need the right tool for the job!
Wind plant “equivalencing” (e.g., single-generator or
several-generator reduced equivalent) necessary and
sufficient for both power flow and dynamic simulations
Grid vs. wind disturbances
Standard models are intended for studying the effects of
grid disturbances, not wind disturbances
For a typical wind plant, constant wind power during transient
events (0 to 20-second time frame) is not a bad assumption
Other tools that account for geographical diversity should be
used to study the effect of wind variability in operations planning
Model vs. reality
Validation is required--will be challenging!

Turbine Aerodynamic Model
Detailed aerodynamics in most WTG models
The mechanical power (Pmech) applied to the
generator is a function of the Power Coefficient (Cp)
Pmech = ½ × (air density) × (swept area) × Cp × (Vw)3
Cp is a function of blade pitch and tip-speed ratio
During a large electrical disturbance, blade pitch and tip
speed ratio vary, thus Cp and Pmech will also vary
Cp is modeled using a look-up table or Cp matrix
specific to each WTG (usually considered confidential,
proprietary information)
Aerodynamic Model Simplification
Assume that during grid disturbances:
Wind speed change is negligible
Shaft speed change has negligible effect on Cp
Aerodynamic model: Pm = f (θ)
For variable speed WTGs (Type 3 and Type 4),
investigation of detailed model has shown:
Change of mechanical power (Pm) varies nearly linearly
with change in pitch angle (θ) in the range 0<θ<30 deg
Pm varies linearly with respect to wind speed (Vw) from
cut-in to rated wind speed
θ varies linearly with respect to Vw for wind speeds
above rated
Example – GE 1.5 (Type 3)
Example – GE 1.5 (Type 3)
Simplified aerodynamic model:
Pm = Pm – θ ( θ - θ ) / 100
Initialization:
Pm = Pelec (from power flow)
If Pm < Prated, θ = 0
If Pm = Prated and
Vw > rated wind speed,
use Fig. 9 to compute θ
Simplified model – Case 1a
100% output, rated Vw
Simplified model – Case 1b
50% output
Blue = standard model; Red = simplified model
Simplified model – Case 1c
Super-simplified – Case 1c
100% output, 125% rated Vw
Assumes constant Pm (not good!)
Blue = standard model; Red = simplified model
Lessons learned
For Type 3 and 4 WTGs, aerodynamic simplification
is possible without significant loss of accuracy
No need for Cp curves, etc.
Model does not perform as well if aerodynamics are
ignored (e.g. constant mechanical power)
Similar results expected for Type 1 and 2 WTGs
Relationship between ΔPm and Δθ may not be as linear.
Simplified model may involve more complicated
equations.
Status
Type 3 and 4 standard model currently under
development; Types 1 and 2 to follow
Prototyping and testing models in MatLab prior to
implementation is PSLF and PSSE
Significant validation effort needed
High-order models
Field recordings (turbine and plant-level)
Future
Model “revisions” based on the same fundamentals
Need continued collaboration among stakeholders-program developers, wind industry, power industry, other
