Real-Time and Off-Line Simulation of a Detailed Wind Farm Model Connected to a Multi-Bus Network

Abstract

This paper describes the detailed modeling and simulation of a wind farm composed of eight doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) connected to a 24-bus electrical network. Once built, the model was brought to real-time using the eMEGAsim, a Simulink-based, distributed real-time simulator of electrical power systems. Then, analysis of the steady-state and transient response of the system is made. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion on the off-line performance and the real-time performance on the eMEGAsim simulator.
