Modelling, Simulation and Analysis of Full Power Converter Wind Turbine with Permanent Synchronous Generator

Abstract

This paper focuses on PSS/E modelling and simulation of wind farms of full scale converter wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator and their impact on issues of Kosovo power system operation. The proper modelling of wind farm projects in systems studies is becoming increasingly important to system operators. In the past decade, wind power has evolved into a significant renewable energy source which continues to grow rapidly. The increased size of wind power projects and the development of large wind parks bring about a number of opportunities and challenges. Wind grid code currently require wind turbine to have high immunity against grid faults. In addition, wind turbines that are able to provide more reactive power support are increasingly preferred. This feature can be found in a full converter wind turbines with permanent synchronous generator.
