1. Generic Models for Type 3 and 4 Wind Turbine Generators
Pouyan Pourbeik
WECC REMTF Meeting November, 2011

2. OVERALL MODEL STRUCTURE

3. ELECTRICAL CONTROLS

4. WT4
Most recent proposal [1] & [2]. Not very different from [3] and only a few changes compared to current WECC model.
Used Data graciously provided under NDA from Vestas and Siemens Wind Power, respectively.

5. THE MODEL
P-CONTROL

6. THE MODEL
OPTIONAL DRIVE-TRAIN

7. THE MODEL
Q-CONTROL or

8. FIELD MEASURED DATA

9. RESULTS WITH SIEMENS WTG [2]

10. ASIDE (see [2] for details)

11. RESULTS WITH VESTAS WTG [1]
Eight (8) cases studied

12. EXAMPLE CASES (RESULTS WITH VESTAS WTG [1])

13. EXAMPLE CASES (RESULTS WITH VESTAS WTG [1])

14. ABB CASES SHOWN PREVIOUSLY [4] STILL VALID WITH THIS MODEL
Data provide by ABB under NDA to EPRI

15. CONCLUSION
We believe that this model now caters to multiple vendor equipment, and has been shown to give good validation results
Some minor conventions have to be discussed and finalized
The “spike” issue need software resolution – several ideas are being pursued
