Abstract

Renewable energy sources are becoming as one of the major generation strategies around the world. The wind energy systems have been technologically advanced and integrated to the power system in a rapid routine. This paper looks into the modelling as well as operational exploration of a three blade wind turbine connected to asynchronous generator. State-of-the-art wind turbine topologies and a comparative summary of real-time simulation technologies for electrical systems are described. A 2.4 MW wind turbine with three blades is modelled for the analysis of power characteristics. The shift from sub-synchronous to super-synchronous mode is analysed for type-A wind energy conversion system (WECS) with 2 MW asynchronous generator by using MATLAB/Simulink model. The step-by-step standard operating procedure for modelling and real-time simulation of 2 MW type-A WECS having asynchronous generator under hardware-in-the-loop platform is elucidated. The steady state and transient behaviours of the WECS are validated by the real-time emulation under a hardware-in-the-loop platform.
