Effect of Steady-State Wind Turbine Generator Models on Power

Environmental concerns over the use of fossil fuels as energy
sources for electric power generation have resulted in
the rapid increase in the amount of wind-generated power
connected to electrical power networks worldwide. As such,
the inclusion of accurate wind turbine generator models in
power system simulation software has become increasingly
important. Steady-state and dynamic models of wind turbine
generators are required for different types of simulation
studies. Steady-state fixed-speed and variable-speed models
are examined in this paper in terms of their effect on the
power flow convergence, voltage stability limits, and their
ability to be used to provide good initial values in dynamic
models.
