academic works.

3. Demonstration
Depending on the range of frequencies to be represented, three simulation methods are currently
available in SimPowerSystems™ to model VSC based energy conversion systems connected on power
grids.
The detailed model (discrete) such as the one presentented in the “power_wind_dfig_det.mdl” model
in the DR demo library. The detailed model includes detailed representation of power electronic IGBT
converters. In order to achieve an acceptable accuracy with the 1620 Hz switching frequency used in
this demo, the model must be discretized at a relatively small time step (5 microseconds). This model
is well suited for observing harmonics and control system dynamic performance over relatively short
periods of times (typically hundreds of milliseconds to one second).
The average model (discrete) such as the one presentented in this demo. In this type of model the
IGBT Voltage-sourced converters (VSC) are represented by equivalent voltage sources generating the
AC voltage averaged over one cycle of the switching frequency. This model does not represent
harmonics, but the dynamics resulting from control system and power system interaction is preserved.
This model allows using much larger time steps (typically 50 microseconds), thus allowing simulations
of several seconds.

The phasor model (continuous) such as the one presentented in the “power_wind_dfig” model in the
DR demo library. This model is better adapted to simulate the low frequency electromechanical
oscillations over long periods of time (tens of seconds to minutes). In the phasor simulation method, the
sinusoidal voltages and currents are replaced by phasor quantities (complex numbers) at the system
nominal frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz).This is the same technique which is used in transient stability
softwares.
A 9 MW wind farm consisting of six 1.5 MW wind turbines connected to a 25 kV distribution system
exports power to a 120 kV grid through a 30 km, 25 kV feeder. A 500 kW resistive load and a 0.9 Mvar
(Q=50) filter are connected at the 575 V generation bus. The turbine parameters specifying ratings of
power components of the wind turbine are saved in a companion M file (power_wind_dfig_data.m).
This file is automatically executed at simulation start so that parameters for the 6x1.5 MW turbine are
loaded in your Matlab workspace. (See Model pre-load function specified in the Model Properties). If
you want to use this DFIG model with a different rating in another application, you must copy and edit
this file in order to change the relevant parameters.
Wind turbines using a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) consist of a wound rotor induction
generator and an AC/DC/AC IGBT-based PWM converter modeled by voltage sources. The stator
winding is connected directly to the 60 Hz grid while the rotor is fed at variable frequency through the
AC/DC/AC converter. The DFIG technology allows extracting maximum energy from the wind for low
wind speeds by optimizing the turbine speed, while minimizing mechanical stresses on the turbine
during gusts of wind. The optimum turbine speed producing maximum mechanical energy for a given
wind speed is proportional to the wind speed.
In this demo the wind speed is maintained constant at 10 m/s. The control system uses a torque
controller in order to maintain the speed at 1.09 pu. The reactive power produced by the wind turbine is
regulated at 0 Mvar.
Double-click on the “Wind Turbine Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (Average Model)” block to see how
the model is built. The sample time used to discretize the model (Ts_Power= 50 microseconds) as well
as the sample time used by the control system (Ts_Control=100 microseconds) are specified in the
Initialization function of the Model Properties.
Right-click on the “Control System” block and select “Look Under Mask” to see details of the controller.
Open the “Wind Turbine” block menu and check "Display wind-turbine power characteristics". The
turbine mechanical power as function of turbine speed is displayed for wind speeds ranging from 6 m/s
to 13 m/s. For a wind speed of 10 m/s, the maximum turbine output is 0.55 pu of its rated power
(0.55*9MW=4.95 MW) at a speed of 1.09 pu of generator synchronous.
3. Demonstration
In this demo you will observe the steady-state operation of the DFIG and its dynamic response to
voltage sag resulting from a remote fault on the 120-kV system. Open the “120 kV” block modeling the
voltage source and see how a six-cycle 0.2 pu voltage drop is programmed at t=0.03 s
Start simulation. Observe voltage and current waveforms on the Scope. At simulation start the “xInitial”
variable containing the initial state variables is automatically loaded (from the
“power_wind_dfig_avg_xinit.mat” file specified in the Model Properties) so that the simulation starts in
steady state.
Initially the DFIG wind farm produces 4.8 MW. This active power, corresponds to the maximum
mechanical turbine output for a 10m/s wind speed (0.55*9 MW=4.95 MW) minus electrical losses in
generator. The corresponding turbine speed is 1.09 pu of generator synchronous speed. The DC
voltage is regulated at 1200 V and reactive power is kept at 0 Mvar. At t=0.03 s the positive-sequence
voltage suddenly drops to 0.8 p.u. causing an oscillation on the DC bus voltage and on the DFIG output
power. During the voltage sag the control system regulates DC voltage and reactive power at their set
points (1200 V, 0 Mvar). The system recovers in approximately 4 cycles.
Double click the blue block entitled “Show Detailed and Average Simulation Results”. A figure opens
showing comparison of the phase A voltage at DFIG terminals, DC link voltage, active and reactive
powers and speed for the detailed model and the average model. Notice that the two models are in
good agreement. The average model represents correctly the low frequency control and power system

oscillations produced by the voltage sag, but voltage waveforms do not show the high frequency
harmonics produced by the PWM switching of the two converters.

Model Description
A 9-MW wind farm consisting of six 1.5 MW wind turbines connected to a 25-kV distribution system
exports power to a 120-kV grid through a 30-km, 25-kV feeder. A 2300V, 2-MVA plant consisting of a
motor load (1.68 MW induction motor at 0.93 PF) and of a 200-kW resistive load is connected on the
same feeder at bus B25. Both the wind turbine and the motor load have a protection system monitoring
voltage, current and machine speed. The DC link voltage of the DFIG is also monitored.
Wind turbines use a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) consisting of a wound rotor induction
generator and an AC/DC/AC IGBT-based PWM converter. The stator winding is connected directly to
the 60 Hz grid while the rotor is fed at variable frequency through the AC/DC/AC converter. The DFIG
technology allows extracting maximum energy from the wind for low wind speeds by optimizing the
turbine speed, while minimizing mechanical stresses on the turbine during gusts of wind. The optimum
turbine speed producing maximum mechanical energy for a given wind speed is proportional to the
wind speed. For wind speeds lower than 10 m/s the rotor is running at subsynchronous speed . At high
wind speed it is running at hypersynchronous speed. Open the turbine menu, select "Turbine data" and
check "Display wind-turbine power characteristics". The turbine mechanical power as function of
turbine speed is displayed for wind speeds ranging from 5 m/s to 16.2 m/s. The DFIG is controlled in
1 of 3 1/9/2004 4:04 AM
order to follow the red curve. Turbine speed optimization is obtained between point B and point C on
this curve. Another advantage of the DFIG technology is the ability for power electronic converters to
generate or absorb reactive power, thus eliminating the need for installing capacitor banks as in the
case of squirrel-cage induction generators.
The wind-turbine model is a phasor model that allows transient stability type studies with long
simulation times. In this demo, the system is observed during 50 s.
Open the wind turbine block menu and look at the four sets of parameters specified for the turbine, the
generator and the converters (grid-side and rotor-side). The 6-wind-turbine farm is simulated by a
single wind-turbine block by multiplying the following three parameters by six, as follows:
1. The nominal wind turbine mechanical output: 6*1.5e6 watts, specified in the Turbine data menu
2. The generator rated power: 6*1.5/0.9 MVA (6*1.5 MW at 0.9 PF), specified in the Generator data
menu
3. The nominal DC bus capacitor: 6*10000 microfarads, specified in the Converters data menu
Also, notice in the Control parameters menu that the "Mode of operation" is set to " Voltage regulation".
The terminal voltage will be controlled to a value imposed by the reference voltage (Vref = 1 pu) and
the voltage droop (Xs = 0.02 pu).
Demonstration
1. Turbine response to a change in wind speed
Open the "Wind Speed" step block specifying the wind speed. Initially, wind speed is set at 8 m/s, then
at t = 5s, wind speed increases suddenly at 14 m/s. Start simulation and observe the signals on the
"Wind Turbine" scope monitoring the wind turbine voltage, current, generated active and reactive
powers, DC bus voltage and turbine speed. At t = 5 s, the generated active power starts increasing
smoothly (together with the turbine speed) to reach its rated value of 9 MW in approximately 15 s. Over
that time frame the turbine speed will have increased from 0.8 pu to 1.21 pu. Initially, the pitch angle of
the turbine blades is zero degree and the turbine operating point follows the red curve of the turbine
power characteristics up to point D. Then the pitch angle is increased from 0 deg to 0.76 deg in order to
limit the mechanical power. Observe also the voltage and the generated reactive power. The reactive
power is controlled to maintain a 1 pu voltage. At nominal power, the wind turbine absorbs 0.68 Mvar
(generated Q = -0.68 Mvar) to control voltage at 1pu. If you change the mode of operation to "Var
regulation" with the "Generated reactive power Qref " set to zero, you will observe that voltage
increases to 1.021 pu when the wind turbine generates its nominal power at unity power factor.
2. Simulation of a voltage sag on the 120-kV system
You will now observe the impact of a voltage sag resulting from a remote fault on the 120-kV system.
First, in the wind speed step block, disable the wind speed step by changing the Final value from 14 to
8 m/s. Then open the 120-kV voltage source menu. In the parameter "Time variation of", select "
Amplitude". A 0.15 pu voltage drop lasting 0.5 s is programmed to occur at t = 5 s. Make sure that the
control mode is still in Var regulation with Qref = 0. Start simulation and open the "Grid" scope. Observe
the plant voltage and current as well as the motor speed. Note that the wind farm produces 1.87 MW.
At t = 5 s, the voltage falls below 0.9 pu and at t = 5.22 s, the protection system trips the plant because
an undervoltage lasting more than 0.2 s has been detected (look at the protection settings and status in
the "Plant" subsystem). The plant current falls to zero and motor speed decreases gradually, while the
wind farm continues generating at a power level of 1.87 MW. After the plant has tripped, 1.25 MW of
power (P_B25 measured at bus B25) is exported to the grid.
Now, change the wind turbine control mode to "Voltage regulation" and repeat the test. You will notice
that the plant does not trip anymore. This is because the voltage support provided by the 5 Mvar
reactive power generated by the wind-turbines during the voltage sag keeps the plant voltage above the
0.9 pu protection threshold. The plant voltage during the voltage sag is now 0.93 pu.
3. Simulation of a fault on the 25-kV system
Finally, you will now observe impact of a single phase-to-ground fault occurring on the 25-kV line at
B25 bus. First disable the 120-kV voltage step. Now open the "Fault" block menu and select "Phase A
2 of 3 1/9/2004 4:04 AM
Fault". Check that the fault is programmed to apply a 9-cycle single-phase to ground fault at t = 5 s.
You should observe that when the wind turbine is in "Voltage regulation" mode, the positive-sequence
voltage at wind-turbine terminals (V1_B575) drops to 0.8 pu during the fault, which is above the
undervoltage protection threshold (0.75 pu for a t > 0.1 s). The wind farm therefore stays in service.
However, if the "Var regulation" mode is used with Qref = 0, the voltage drops under 0.7 pu and the
undervoltage protection trips the wind farm. We can now observe that the turbine speed increases. At
t= 40 s the pitch angle starts to increase in order to limit the speed.

driven by variable-pitch wind turbines

Model Description
Demonstration
Model Description
A wind farm consisting of six 1.5-MW wind turbines is connected to a 25-kV distribution system exports
power to a 120-kV grid through a 25-km 25-kV feeder. The 9-MW wind farm is simulated by three pairs
of 1.5 MW wind-turbines. Wind turbines use squirrel-cage induction generators (IG). The stator winding
is connected directly to the 60 Hz grid and the rotor is driven by a variable-pitch wind turbine. The pitch
angle is controlled in order to limit the generator output power at its nominal value for winds exceeding
the nominal speed (9 m/s). In order to generate power the IG speed must be slightly above the
synchronous speed. Speed varies approximately between 1 pu at no load and 1.005 pu at full load.
Each wind turbine has a protection system monitoring voltage, current and machine speed.
Reactive power absorbed by the IGs is partly compensated by capacitor banks connected at each wind
turbine low voltage bus (400 kvar for each pair of 1.5 MW turbine). The rest of reactive power required
to maintain the 25-kV voltage at bus B25 close to 1 pu is provided by a 3-Mvar STATCOM with a 3%
droop setting.
Open the "Wind Farm" block and look at "Wind Turbine 1". Open the turbine menu and look at the two

sets of parameters specified for the turbine and the generator. Each wind turbine block represents two
1.5 MW turbines. Open the turbine menu, select "Turbine data" and check "Display wind-turbine power
characteristics". The turbine mechanical power as function of turbine speed is displayed for wind
speeds ranging from 4 m/s to 10 m/s. The nominal wind speed yielding the nominal mechanical power
(1pu=3 MW) is 9 m/s. The wind turbine model (from the DR library) and the statcom model (from the
FACTS library) are phasor models that allow transient stability type studies with long simulation times.
In this demo, the system is observed during 20 s.
The wind speed applied to each turbine is controlled by the "Wind 1" to "Wind 3" blocks . Initially, wind
speed is set at 8 m/s, then starting at t=2s for "Wind turbine 1", wind speed is rammed to 11 m/s in 3
seconds. The same gust of wind is applied to Turbine 2 and Turbine 3, respectively with 2 seconds and
4 seconds delays. Then, at t=15 s a temporary fault is applied at the low voltage terminals (575 V) of
"Wind Turbine 2".
Demonstration
Turbine response to a change in wind speed
Start simulation and observe the signals on the "Wind Turbines" scope monitoring active and reactive
power, generator speed, wind speed and pitch angle for each turbine. For each pair of turbine the
generated active power starts increasing smoothly (together with the wind speed) to reach its rated
value of 3 MW in approximately 8s. Over that time frame the turbine speed will have increased from
1.0028 pu to 1.0047 pu. Initially, the pitch angle of the turbine blades is zero degree. When the output
power exceed 3 MW, the pitch angle is increased from 0 deg to 8 deg in order to bring output power
back to its nominal value. Observe that the absorbed reactive power increases as the generated active
power increases. At nominal power, each pair of wind turbine absorbs 1.47 Mvar. For a 11m/s wind
speed, the total exported power measured at the B25 bus is 9 MW and the statcom maintains voltage
at 0.984 pu by generating 1.62 Mvar (see "B25 Bus" and "Statcom" scopes).
Operation of protection system
At t=15 s, a phase to phase fault is applied at wind turbine 2 terminals, causing the turbine to trip at
t=15.11 s. If you look inside the "Wind Turbine Protections" block you will see that the trip has been
initiated by the AC Undervoltage protection. After turbine 2 has tripped, turbines 1 and 3 continue to
generate 3 MW each.
Impact of STATCOM
You will now observe the impact of the "STATCOM". First, open the "Fault" block menu and disable the
phase to phase fault. Then put the "STATCOM" out of service by double clicking the "Manual Switch"
block connected to the "Trip" input of the "STATCOM". Restart simulation. Observe on " B25 Bus"
scope that because of the lack of reactive power support, the voltage at bus "B25" now drops to
0.91pu. This low voltage condition results in an overload of the IG of "Wind Turbine 1". "Wind Turbine
1" is tripped at t=13.43 s. If you look inside the "Wind Turbine Protections" block you will see that the
trip has been initiated by the AC Overcurrent protection.
