1. INTRODUCTION

The amount of grid connected wind power has increased enormously

during last decade. Penetration of wind power with other distributed
generation sources has been reducing the amount of power supplied from
conventional power plants. Large wind farms are being connected to the
high voltage transmission lines all over the world. The penetration of wind
energy in power systems will increase and they may begin to influence
overall power system behavior. This situation has to be investigated in order
to sustain power system operation. However, adequate models of power
system components and wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are
needed to use in grid investigation studies and simulations.

Power system simulation packages are commonly used for power

system operational studies by Transmission System Operators (TSO). All
power system components are modeled by reasonably accurate and low-
capacity-demanding models. Simplifications are done for every component
model used in the system to get convenient computation time and results.
Models of the new types of generation units, like wind turbines, have to
comply with this requirement. There are simulation packages, which in
principle can describe a complete wind turbine with all units. However, the
turbine description used in those programs can not be viable in grid
simulations packages because of high computational burden and can not be
used to represent wind farms containing hundred of wind turbines in grid
simulations without proper simplifications.

In order to obtain adequate models of power system components and

WECS, studies have been performed with the help of simulation platforms.
In this study; a review of modeling wind farms in power system simulation
studies will be given with brief statements.

2. GRID CONNECTION OF WIND FARMS

The wind farms have different impacts and functions on the

performance of the grid than conventional power plants, because of

48
 Modeling Wind Farms in Power System Simulation Studies: A Review

variation of wind speed in time. The increasing percentage of WECS in

electrical power production has amplified the need to address grid
integration concerns. Grid codes, determining the requirements about grid
connection of wind farms, have been developed by research groups. These
grid codes are being updated due to the new technologies and grid
connection studies. Also TSO need simulation tools and scientific practices
before wind power-power system integration to guarantee reliable operation
of the system with wind power. Power system reliability consists of system
security and adequacy.

2.1 Grid Codes

At the end of the 1980s, distribution network companies in Europe

started to develop their own interconnection rules or standards. In the
beginning, each network company that faced an increasing amount of
interconnection asks the wind farms to follow its own rules. During the
1990s, these interconnection rules were harmonized on a national level, like
in Germany and Spain.

In order to assure reliable operation, TSO demanded high short-circuit

power capability at wind farm connection buses, like at least 20 times
greater than the wind farm nominal power. These regularities impede further
penetration of wind power because of power system operational
precautions.

Modern MW wind turbines currently replace a large number of small

wind turbines and there is a significant attention to offshore wind farms,
mainly because of higher average wind speed and no space limitations.
Large power rated wind farms are started to operate in superior power
systems and more large power rated wind farms are in construction or in the
planning stage all over the world.

However, in order to achieve objectives as continuity and security of

the supply, a high level of wind power into electrical network posses new
challenges as well as new approaches in operation of the power system.

49
 Özgür Salih MUTLU

Therefore countries started to issue dedicated “grid codes” for connecting

the wind turbines/farms to the electrical network addressed to transmission
and/or distributed system.

These requirements have focus on power controllability, power

quality, low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability and grid support during
network disturbances. Grid code regulations often contain costly and
demanding requirements for wind farm operators due to the increase in
share of wind farms in power production. Large wind farms connected at the
transmission level have to act as a conventional power plant and participate
in primary (local) and secondary (system level) frequency/power control.

2.2 Need for Accurate Models

Since these demanding requirements can limit the penetration of the

wind power in a given area, it was stated that grid codes and other technical
requirements should reflect the true technical needs for system operation
and should be developed in cooperation between TSO, the wind energy
sector, government bodies, universities and research institutes [1-2]. To
facilitate the investigation of the impact of a wind farm on the dynamics of
the power system to which it is connected, an adequate model is required
[3].

According to the grid codes, wind farm operators have to provide

evidence of the fulfilment of LVRT capability requirements for their
particular case. For single wind turbines it may be sufficient to present a
certificate for LVRT capability, but large power rated wind farms need to be
investigated by simulations, which include steady state as well as dynamic
studies. Besides, fulfilling grid requirements must be monitored
continuously after installation [4].

3. MODELING WIND FARMS

Many studies have been performed on grid connected wind farms

and related power system issues. Different techniques and models have been

50
 Modeling Wind Farms in Power System Simulation Studies: A Review

used for determining problems; the impacts of wind farms on technical and
operational characteristics of power systems and technical requirements for
wind farm-grid connections were analyzed.

Slootweg et.al. and Petru & Thiringer focused on deriving a

representation that was suitable for use in grid simulation programs and
investigated the modeling requirements of a wind turbine in power system
studies. It was found that a third-order generator representation, together
with two drive train equations and a precalculated shaft torque signal were
sufficient to represent a fixed-speed wind turbine for power system
simulations. For a variable-speed wind turbine, the control and protection of
the converter and generator systems must be included in a model [5,6]. Also
importance of calculating initial conditions of the dynamic equipment
models for simulation software was emphasized by [7] and [8].

Raiambal and Chellamuthu studied the effects of variation in grid

voltage and frequency on the performance of grid connected wind turbines
for different wind speeds. A fixed speed wind turbine equipped with a
squirrel cage induction generator model and other system components like
transformers and transmission lines were presented in MATLAB/Simulink.
Based on the simulation results, the best location for the compensating
capacitor was suggested [9].

Akhmatov described the considerations and the results of the

investigation on short-term voltage stability carried out on a large wind
power network model. In the investigation, a distinction was made between
large wind farms connected to the transmission network which must ride
through three-phased as well as unbalanced short-circuit faults and local
wind turbines connected to the distribution networks which could
disconnect in case of a grid fault. The large power grid model was
implemented in the PSS/E and as a result; access to the strong power grid
stated very favorable for the connection of the large offshore wind farms to
reduce the demands on the control applied to the grid as well as to the wind
turbines [10].

Bleijs analyzed the difference in dynamic behaviour of wind turbines

using synchronous and induction generators, connected to different size of
networks. Frequency domain analysis of models had been used to quantify
the effect of system parameters, such as enhanced drive train damping,
diesel governor action and generator slip, on dynamic interaction. The
dynamic behaviour was analyzed using standard routines available in
MATLAB [11].

Zhou et al. analyzed the detailed WECS model and the impact of
different parameters and control system to the voltage stability by
simulation in the Electromagnetic Transients Program (EMTP). Analyzed
parameters of the system were the short circuit capacity at the PCC, the ratio
X/R of the transmission line impedance, the use of static synchronous
compensator (STATCOM) for power factor control and rotor speed
feedback system [12].

Anandavel et.al. used the mathematical model of the WECS

developed in MATLAB to design a neuro controller for power optimization.
For a given rated grid voltage and for different wind velocities, as the
variation in the duty ratio to capture maximum power from the wind was
non-linear, a neural based controller was designed for automatic variation of
duty ratio of the DC/DC converter [13].

Slootweg and Kling studied the effects of wind power on the main
types of power system oscillations, namely oscillations of a group of
generators against a strong system and intra- and inter-area oscillations. The
test system was investigated by gradually replacing the power generated by
the synchronous generators in the system by power from either constant or
variable speed wind turbines, while observing the movement of the
eigenvalues through the complex plane. PSS/E was used to calculate the
eigenvalues of the investigated scenarios and it was shown that constant
speed wind turbines damp power system oscillations more than variable
speed turbines [14].

52
 Modeling Wind Farms in Power System Simulation Studies: A Review

Alanen et.al. studied the effects of variable speed wind power system
with dual energy storage, on a typical distribution network by applying the
transient simulation software PSCAD/EMTDC. PSCAD/EMTDC enabled a
detailed modeling of the inverters involved considering also their switching
patterns, which affected on the harmonics generated by the plant. For the
wind power plant four different configurations were compared: Fixed speed
system, asynchronous generator; Variable speed system, full-scale inverter;
Variable speed system, full-scale inverter, dual energy storage system
included; Variable speed system, full-scale inverter, dual energy storage
system with power quality conditioner (active filter) included [15].

Chen et.al. discussed the voltage variation and flicker emission of grid
connected wind turbines with DFIGs. The simulation model of the wind
turbine was developed in PSCAD/EMTDC and a method to compensate
flicker by using a voltage source converter based STATCOM was
presented. The results showed that the STATCOM was an effective means
to improve system voltage quality [16].

Muyeen et al. examined the effects of drive train parameters, such as

inertia constant, spring constant and damping constant on transient stability
analysis using the six-mass, three-mass and two-mass drive train models.
Also different types of symmetrical and asymmetrical faults at different
wind generator power levels were considered in the simulation analyses
with and without considering damping constants in six-mass, three-mass
and two-mass shaft models by using PSCAD/EMTDC [17]. Muyeen et.al.
discussed the energy capacitor system, composed of power electronic
devices and electric double layer capacitor, to enhance the low voltage ride
through capability of fixed speed wind turbine generator system during
network disturbance. A real grid code defined in the power system was
considered and it was concluded that energy capacitor system could
significantly enhance the LVRT capability of grid connected WTGS during
network disturbance, where simulations had been carried out by using
PSCAD/EMTDC [18].

Sharma et.al. performed simulations of a typical wind-diesel hybrid

system dynamic model in MATLAB/Simulink . The wind diesel hybrid
system transient behaviour was investigated as it undergone various
disturbances such as random wind speed, change in load, reactive
generation limit, as had the effect of changes in X/R ratios and load on
system voltage [19].

System(RW-WPGS)[20]

Han et.al. studied modeling of wind turbine system with the real
weather conditions introduced by the interface method of a non-linear
external parameter of the PSCAD/EMTDC. Three different cases; long term
and short term were examined. The efficiency of wind power generator,
power converter and flow of energy were analyzed by wind speed of the
long-term simulation. The generator output power and current supplied into
utility were obtained through the short-term simulation. Conceptual diagram
of the real weather –Wind Power Generation System is given in Fig.-1[20].

 Modeling Wind Farms in Power System Simulation Studies: A Review

Arifujjaman presented mathematical modeling and control strategy for

the grid connected Permanent Magnet Generator based small wind turbine
systems. A novel maximum power flow controller was designed to ensure
the sinusoidal current and maximum power output from the inverter to the
grid. The results of the MATLAB simulation were shown to prove the
concept and to verify the effectiveness of the control strategy [21].

3.1 Aggregated Modeling of Wind Farms

Slootweg & Kling discussed the development and specification of

aggregated wind farm models. It was stated that the structure of an
aggregated wind farm model should be such, that maximum user
friendliness was achieved while keeping the results as close to reality as
possible. Structure of aggregated model of Wind Park with constant speed
wind turbines and with variable speed wind turbines are given in Fig.-2 and
Fig.-3, respectively [3].

Figure-2 Structure of aggregated model of wind park with constant speed

wind turbines [3].

Figure-3 Structure of aggregated model of wind park with variable

speed wind turbines [3].

Andersson et.al. reported the studies about possible connection of the

640-MW off-shore wind farm to the 130kV subtransmission system and
gave brief description of the wind farm modeling. The wind farm had to be
represented in PSS/E, since this tool was used by the grid owner for this
kind of studies. Three types of variable-speed wind turbines were
considered. The turbines and one-fourth of the wind park were modeled
with details in the simulation package PSCAD/EMTDC and subjected to
voltage sags. Each cluster of wind turbines in the park was aggregated to
one unit. All clusters were then connected to the off-shore collection
transformer and connected to the grid via a cable. The results from these
simulations were then compared to a simplified model of the wind park
developed for PSS/E [22]. Larsson et.al. described the development of a
dynamic model of the same wind farm requested by the grid owner in order
to receive permission to connect the wind farm to the grid and used the
same simulation programs for this purpose [23].

Shafiu et. al. compared the behaviors of aggregated models of a large

scale wind farm against the totally individual turbine models in simulation
program IPSA+. Wind farm models using squirel cage induction generators
and wind farm models using doubly-fed induction generators(DFIG) were
implemented in simulation program separately and a transient fault was
applied for each one. Comparisons of results were given and differences
were highlighted [24].

56
 Modeling Wind Farms in Power System Simulation Studies: A Review

Akhmatov and Knudsen stated that the aggregate wind farm model
could be reduced to one machine equivalent or multi-machine equivalent
and presented simulations results of three different model; aggregate model,
multi-machine equivalent model and one machine equivalent model. The
windmill model was implemented in PSS/E to represent arbitrary number of
grid connectedwind turbines within power grids of arbitrary configurations.
The fact that the wind farm could not always be represented by the one
machine equivalent was explained by the presence of soft coupling of the
shaft systems in the wind turbine constructions [25].

Fernandez et.al. proposed a new equivalent model of DFIG wind

farms by aggregating all the wind turbines of a wind farm into one single
equivalent wind turbine to represent the whole wind farm at PCC to grid,
even though the wind turbines operate with different incoming winds. The
equivalent model of DFIG wind farm proposed had been verified by
comparing the steady-state and dynamic responses of equivalent and
complete wind farm models. These wind farm models had been
implemented and simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink [26].

Rauma et.al studied the resonances in an aggregated model of a wind

power plant with a relatively new method called harmonic resonance mode
analysis or simply modal analysis. The results given by this method were
validated using the frequency scan (also called the impedance scan).
MATLAB was used to carry out the modal analyses and PSCAD/EMTDC
to perform the frequency scans [27].

3.2 Verification with Measurement Results

Soerensen et.al. implemented a previously developed model of a large

wind farm to the software program PARKWIND for analyzing the power
fluctuations from large wind farms. The measurements from the two large
offshore wind farms were used to assess the state of the art of that model
and to propose improvements of the model. Also two types of model

57
 Özgür Salih MUTLU

structures were discussed; a diversified model and an aggregated model

[28].

Hansen et.al. implemented six 2 MW wind turbine models in

DIgSILENT/Power Factory simulation program, to simulate the behaviour
of the wind farm during normal operation of wind farm and the ability of the
model to predict power quality was investigated. The comparison of the
computed power quality characteristics from simulations with measured
power quality characteristics, determined by the same computation methods
was given and the validation of the model was based on comparisons of the
simulations with the measurements for a wind turbine [29]. Hansen et.al.
considered the initialization strategy of a dynamic wind turbine model
connected to a grid model with the help of models in the same simulation
program [8].

Perdana et.al. presented a model of a single wind turbine and an

aggregate model of wind farm and the models were validated against field
measurement data. The simulations of wind turbines were carried out using
PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB/Simulink with SimPowerSystem Toolbox.
It was proved that the use of an aggregate model of a wind farm with a fifth-
order model of the generator in combination with a two-mass model of the
drive train was sufficiently accurate for power system dynamics study of a
small wind farm consisting of fixed-speed wind turbines [30].

Saniter et.al. presented and compared simulation results using

MATLAB/Simulink and measurements of a test bench that had been
described for grid-code simulations of multi-MW wind turbines. Topologies
of the test bench and control strategy were given. The test bench allowed
realistic grid simulations and it was shown that symmetric as well as
asymmetric voltage faults cuold be realised with this test bench [31].

Martins et.al. validated a fixed speed, stall regulated 180kW wind

turbine model using a recorded case obtained in a wind turbine through a
voltage dip. Two different transient stability simulation programs had been

58
 Modeling Wind Farms in Power System Simulation Studies: A Review

used to simulate the recorded case: PSS/E, by Siemens PTI and Power
Factory, by DIgSILENT [32].

3.3 Verification with Other Simulation Platforms

Iov et.al. investigated the ability of four different simulation tools;

MATLAB, SABER, DIgSILENT/Power Factory and HAWC in a
simulation platform. New models and new control algorithms for wind
turbines applications had been developed and tested in the considered tools.
The developed models and control algorithms were proven to be used in the
necessary preliminary studies before connecting wind farms to the power
system. Modeling aspects and levels in a WECS is given in Fig.-4 [33].

Figure-4 Modeling aspects and levels in a WECS [33].

59
 Özgür Salih MUTLU

Petersson et al. presented simulations and experimental verification of

the dynamic response to voltage sags of a DFIG wind turbine. Simulations
were carried out using a full-order model and with a reduced-order model.
Also comparative information was given about the particular properties and
required simulation time steps of PSCAD/EMTDC, Simpow and PSS/E
[34].

Kazachkov et al. discussed the most significant characteristics and

specifics of wind farms that were being developed for the PSS/E. Model
validation was addressed by comparison of the response of these models to
the response of more detailed, higher-bandwidth models created in a parallel
effort for use with the PSCAD/EMTDC program. Also IPLAN program,
which was a general-purpose computer language that functioned inside the
load flow package and had the ability to access load flow data, was used for
the automation of data entry process for both, detailed model and lumped
model [35].

Lei et.al. developed a simple DFIG wind turbine model in which the
power converter was simulated as a controlled voltage source, regulating the
rotor current to meet the command of real and reactive power production.
The proposed model had the form of traditional generator model ready to
integrate into the power system simulation tool such as PSS/E. An existing
grid including wind farm was simulated using the proposed model and the
model performance was also compared with the detailed model developed
by DIgSILENT/Power Factory [36].

Li et.al. designed a grid frequency controller; an offshore wind farm

using DFIGs with line-commutated converters high voltage direct current
link connection. The mathematical analysis and control design of offshore
wind farm were verified through both MATLAB and PSCAD/EMTDC
simulations. The controlled “STATCOM-less” system behaviour under both
normal and supply-loss fault conditions had been verified [37].

3.4 Studies with Other Simulation Platforms

Different simulation programs are being used for analyzing the mutual
interaction between electric power system and wind farms.
PSCAD/EMTDC, MATLAB/Simulink, DIgSILENT/Power Factory, and
PSS/E can be named as the most common simulation programs for these
analyses.

Haghifam and Omidvar offered a new probability model of power

output of wind farm. The simulation program MECORE was used for
computation. It was shown in results that the presence of wind power plant
in power network had remarkable effects on reliability indices [38].

Efthymiadis et. al. from IPSA Power Engineering presented the load
flow analysis, fault level calculation results, controller modeling and
dynamic simulations of power system including different wind turbines
simulated in IPSA simulation program [39].

Ha and Saha investigated the possibility of integrating the full power

of two large wind farms into a subtransmission network, as well as their
impacts on the network losses and voltage stability by using NEPLAN, a
multi-functional package that supported different types of analysis [40].

Mohammed and Nwankpa simulated the 4-bus power system

including a WECS using PowerWorld Simulator and investigated the
security and stability of a WECS on an electrical utility to quantify the
limits of such a system’s operation [41].

Dysko et.al. investigated the effectiveness of Loss of Mains(LOM)

protection for future power systems with large portions of embedded
generation with respect to the criteria of sensitivity and stability. The
performance of actual LOM devices was systematically tested with 16
scenarios; using the ATP transient simulator for SG based scenarios and the
RSCAD real-time simulator for DFIG based, respectively [42].

61
 Özgür Salih MUTLU

Paap et.al. investigated the influence of voltage sags on the stability of

distribution networks with wind generation. The calculation of the
network’s responses on voltage sags was performed with the software
program SIMUNET. From the simulations it followed that stable operation
was possible for networks, where the generated power was equal or greater
than the local demand [43].

Varma and Auddy presented a study of the oscillations that migth be

caused due to interaction between self excited induction generator based
wind farm and the series compensated network. Modeling of the system had
been performed using different commercial grade software. The steady state
modeling of the system for load-flow studies had been performed with
PSAT of DSA Power Tools. The steady state power flow results had been
used to initialize all the dynamic devices in the nonlinear time domain
simulations performed with PSCAD/EMTDC [44].

Norheim et.al. presented a method for assessment of what the impact

of increased wind power into an area would have on possible congestion in
the grid, and this way enabled decision makers to make sound judgments on
how much wind power integration that could be integrated. The duration
curves were calculated with the combined power flow and market
simulation tool EPF, Energy and Power Flow model. Based on hourly
measured wind over one year at a location representing a planned wind farm
in the area feeding wind power into the system, a wind power production
profile was made [45].

Muljadi et.al. described an analytical approach that could be used to

derive the equivalent representation of a wind power plant collector system
in particular. To independently verify the calculations, two different
concepts were used. The first concept was based on circuit analysis, and the
second one was based on load flow analysis. Although the Positive
Sequence Load Flow program from General Electric was used for the
process, it was stated that other programs, such as PSS/E from Siemens
Power Technologies Inc., could also be used [46].

62
 Modeling Wind Farms in Power System Simulation Studies: A Review

Johnsen and Eliasson presented an aggregate wind farm model for use
in real-time power system studies. The model was developed in
Matlab/Simulink to operate with the ARISTO-Real Time Simulator System,
which had been used for operator training at Swedish National Grid. An
entire wind farm was represented with a single wind turbine and developed
on a synchronized real-time platform, which enables synchronization of
MATLAB and ARISTO [47].

Muljadi and McKenna analyzed a typical wind-diesel hybrid power

system for power quality issues using a package program, developed at the
National Renewable Energy Laboratory and described the operating
characteristics of the components as they relate to power quality in the
power network [48].

Muljadi et.al. used PSS/E and Visual Simulation (Vissim) from Visual
Solution Inc. to describe various aspects of power quality within a grid
connected wind power plant. The sources of disturbances that affect the
power quality, the voltage and frequency variations, the voltage and current
distortions created by harmonics and self-excitation problem were discussed
[49].

BiHui et.al. constructed an automatic generation control simulation

model of wind farms with the Full Dynamic Simulation program which had
been developed by China electric power research institute. The model
controled the conventional units output to verify the effect and influence of
automatic generation control in inhibiting the wind power fluctuations. The
simulation results showed that, in the normal operation conditions, AGC
could effectively reduce the frequency fluctuation brought by wind power
integration [50].

5. CONCLUSIONS

This paper has briefly described fifty selected studies about modeling
of wind farms for power system simulations. All the WECS concepts had
been analyzed due to the power system operational aspects by different

63
 Özgür Salih MUTLU

researchers. The fundamental parts of these analyses were the simulation

programs and the power system models including wind farms. And also
verifications of models with site measurement results in existing grid-
connected wind farms were usually included in these studies.

Computer simulations require a very responsible approach. The

quality of a computer simulation depends on the quality of the built-in
models and of the applied data. The results of the computer simulations can
be insufficient and unreliable unless the model and data quality are
sufficiently high for the problem in question.
