A novel real time simulation method for grid-connected wind generator system by using RTDS

Abstract

This paper presents a novel real time simulation method of grid connected wind generator system using RTDS (real time digital simulator). A 3 MW wind generator system connected to power grid is modeled by using RSCAD. Then the developed wind generator system in RSCAD program is interfaced with the RTDS in order to carry out simulations in real time. For the purpose of accurate simulation, real wind speed data extracted by anemometer is used in this work. Through the simulation results, the validity of the developed wind generator system is confirmed.
