Review on modeling of wind power generation systems

In recent years, renewable energy generations, such as wind power generation, have a rapid development in a large scale all over the world. The development trend of renewable energy, from auxiliary power supply to main power supply even leading power supply, is becoming increasing obviously. Due to the fluctuation and intermittence of wind power, the safe and stable operation of power system has been threatened. The modeling of wind power generation system has become a key factor and hotspot issue that influence the interaction between wind plant and power grid, with scholars domestic and overseas all weight in. Hence institutions and organizations, such as GE, IEC, WECC, EPRI, CEPRI, also have attached great importance to this issue, relevant research guideline or report about wind power generation system modeling have been published continuously. The existing research both in domestic and outside is presented first in this paper, then the problems in modeling are analyzed, suggestions and prospects for future research are given at last.
