Comprehensive Wind Park Model Including a Reduced Order Model for an Induction Generator and a STATCOM for Reactive Compensation

In this paper, a comprehensive time domain model for a wind park, suitable for stability analysis, is presented. The wind generator is modeled with a reduced order model for an asynchronous machine, whilst the wind turbine model takes into account the dimension of the turbine, the rotor blade and blade pitch angle. Each wind generator incorporates a STATCOM (static compensator) controller in order to provide reactive power compensation needed by the induction generators. The dynamic behavior of a 50 MW wind park is reported for different operating scenarios.
