The investigation and determination of the impact of DFIG wind farms and their controllers on power system transient performance require power system simulation and analysis tools that incorporate both an accurate dynamic model of a DFIG wind turbine and a realistic representation of a power network [1]. This paper investigates the dynamic performance of DFIG wind turbines in multiple machine s...

Wind energy represents one of the least cost methods of electricity generation, produces no carbon emissions, and is highly scaleable. However, the intermittency of wind and the passive reaction of wind turbines means spinning and scheduled reserves are required to ensure grid security. It is vital for transmission network planning that temporally and spatially accurate models of wind power are...

The sporadic behavior of wind currently hampers electrical companies from fully utilizing wind energy as a viable resource. Observations of reported wind generation data suggest that there may be diurnal patterns in wind generation. Predicting the magnitude and graphical shape of wind generation at different times during the day would help control room operators to better direct the assignment ...

The estimation of flicker emission by a wind park is a complex issue because the network is shared with other loads or generators, even with other wind parks, which contribute to the flicker level. This estimation can be done by means of simulation as depicted in international standards, where the wind turbine generator (WTG) is simulated with a fictitious network, and the results of flicker em...

The variability of wind and solar power is perceived as a major obstacle in employing otherwise abundant renewable energy resources. Based on the available geographically dispersed data for the WECC U.S. area (excluding Alaska) and eastern U.S., we analyze the extent to which the geographic diversity of these resources can offset their variability. The set of wind and PV sites that best matches...

-This paper presents the modeling and real-time simulation of a doubly-fed induction generator driven by a wind turbine in large power systems. The Matlab/Simulink/ SimPowerSystems software is used to develop the model for simulation of electromagnetic transients in power systems. The code generated by the Real-Time Workshop of Simulink is linked to the Hypersim digital real-time simulator. A c...

Direct drive wind turbine generators are gaining importance for light weight, compact design in wind power generation. A new design approach of superconducting wind generator having both axial and radial air gaps between stator and superconducting rotor winding is selected for this simulation work. This paper deals with the simulation of magnetic flux distribution in stator and rotor coil of th...
