Practical Application of Wind Power Models in System Analysis

This paper presents and discusses several wind power models available from Siemens PTI´s (power technologies international) software package PSS/E. These models merge groups of individual identical units into one or more equivalent machines. These equivalent machines are placed along with their step-up transformers at collector buses designated by the user, assuming the configuration between these collector buses and the system interconnection point(s) have been defined. The models include load flow models and generic generator models with manufacturer specific controller models of elements of wind turbines for application in stability simulations. The paper also includes case studies and results.
