Power GenerationConventional vs Wind Power Plant
• Many (hundreds) of wind turbines (1 MW – 5 MW each)
• Prime mover: wind (wind turbine) –renewable (free, natural, pollution free)
• Controllability: curtailment
• Predictability: wind variability based on wind forecasting, influenced more by nature (wind) than human, based on maximizing energy production (unscheduled operation).
• Located at wind resource, it may be far from the load center.
• Generator: Four different types (fixed speed, variable slip, variable speed, full converter) –non synchronous generation
• Type 3 & 4: variable speed with flux oriented controller (FOC) via power converter. Rotor does not have to rotate synchronously.
• Single or multiple large (100 MW) generators.
• Prime mover: steam, combustion engine – non-renewable fuel affected by fuel cost, politics, and pollution restrictions.
• Controllability: adjustable up to max limit and down to min limit.
• Predictability: preplanned generation based on load forecasting, influenced by human operation based on optimum operation (scheduled operation).
• Located relatively close to the load center.
• Generator: synchronous generator
• Fixed speed – no slip: flux is controlled via exciter winding. Flux and rotor rotate synchronously.

Reactive Compensations
Represented bySeparate Model
Type 1 and 2 WTGs are induction machines:
• Several stages of capacitors banks at the WTG terminals are normally applied . Net power factor at bus 5 ~ 1.0
• In power flow: • modeled as fixed shunt devices• WTG of type 1 is approximately PF=0.9 therefore the capacitor need is about to be ½ of the power output. • example, for a 100 MW WPP at full output, Qmin = Qmax = -50 Mvar• and add a 50 Mvar shunt capacitor at the WTG terminals.
• Plant level reactive compensation may still be installed to meet interconnection requirements and should be explicitly represented in power flow.
NREL is a national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC
Reactive Compensations
Type 3 and Type 4 WTGs (an estimate to start depending on the terminal voltage)
• These WTGs are capable of adjusting power factor to a desired value within the rating of the generator and converter. They are also capable of voltage control at the interconnection point or at its terminals.
• External reactive power compensation is often required to meet interconnection requirements
• If these WTGs do not participate in voltage control, the equivalent generator should be assigned a fixed power factor, typically unity. (i.e., Qmin = Qmax = 0).
• If the WTGs do participate in voltage control, then the equivalent generator should be assigned a reactive capability approximately equal to the aggregate WTG reactive power range (i.e., Qmin = -Srated tan(cos-1(0.90); and Qmax = Srated tan(cos-1(0.95)) ).
• For example, consider a 100 MW WPP that employs Type 4 WTGs with specified power factor range +/-0.95 at full output. In this example, Qmin should be set to -33 Mvar and Qmax should be set to +33 Mvar. At an output level below rated, the reactive limits should be adjusted according to the WTG capability curve.

Practical Limit of Reactive Power Output
• Due to collector system effects, some WTGs in the WPP will actually reach terminal voltage limits before reaching the nameplate reactive power limits.
• The net effect is that actual reactive power capability could be less than the nameplate.
• The reactive power capability can be determined by field test or careful observation of WPP performance during abnormally high or low system voltage.
• For example, Figure 7 shows the results of field tests to determine the practical reactive limits of a 200 MW WPP.
• All measurements were made at the interconnection point. Taking into account the effect of transformer and collector system impedances, the reactive power limits of the equivalent WTG can be established.
• Currently, there are no industry standard guidelines for testing WPP steady-state reactive limits.

Dynamic ModelingNeeds
Dynamic models are needed to study the dynamic behavior of power system. Users include system planners and operators, generation developers, equipment manufacturers, researchers, and consultants.
Wind Power Plant (WPP) models are needed to study the impact of proposed or existing wind power plants on power system and vice versa (i.e. to keep voltage and frequency within acceptable limits).
Models need to reproduce WPP behavior during transient events such as faults/clear events, generation/load tripping, etc.

Dynamic ModelValidation
•Prepare the simulation carefully (i.e. the correct information must be used): type of WTG, collector system impedance, transformers, power system network, input parameters to dynamic models, control flags settings set-up, reactive power compensation at the turbine level or at the plant level.
•Initialize the simulation based on pre-fault condition (check v, i, p, q, f, if available).
•Recreate the nature of the faults if possible, otherwise use the recorded data to drive the simulation and compare the measured output to the simulated output (pre-fault, during the fault, post-fault).
•Represent the events for the duration of observation (any changes in wind, how many turbine were taken offline due to the fault?).
•Prepare the data measured to match the designed frequency range of the software used.
•Field data is expensive to monitor, public domain data is limited, difficult to get, and quality of data needs to be scrutinized
– Anticipate errors in the measurement and make the necessary correction– The location of simulation should be measured at the corresponding monitored data.

Dynamic ModelValidation
•Another method to validate new model is to use another model that has been validated against field measurement as a benchmark model.
•Several transient fault scenarios can be performed using both models, and the results can be compared.
•Parameter Tuning– The new model and the benchmark model may have some differences in
implementation, we may have to perform parameter tuning to match the output of the benchmark model.
– However, one should realize that the model may not be able to match the output of the benchmark model in all transient events.
•Parameter Sensitivity– In order to limit the number of parameters that should be tuned, parameter
sensitivity analysis may need to be performed.– In general important parameters are varied one by one and the sensitive
parameters can be tuned to match the bench mark model.
