Modeling of Direct-Drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous Wind Power Generation System Considering the Power System Analysis in Multi-Timescales

Abstract

The dynamics of wind power generation cannot be neglected in the modern power system and could have a great impact on the system dynamics, even raising the risk of a blackout. Because of this, power system simulation has to include the model of wind power generation. However, due to the high order of the full model of the wind power generator, it is impossible to model them in detail in the use of the power system dynamic simulation considering the thousands of wind generators in the grid. In this context, a simplified model is normally used with the trade-off in lower accuracy. As a direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous wind power generation system (D-PMSG) would take up a certain occupation in the modern power system, a proper D-PMSG simplified model is needed in the power system simulation. For a different research purpose in a different timescale, a different complexity of the model can be used to maximize the accuracy, in the meantime speeding up the simulation. This paper proposes a set of simplified models of the direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous wind power generation system (D-PMSG) and classifies them according to the timescale of the dynamics and the use cases, i.e., faults (transient stability analysis), system contingencies (voltage and frequency stability analysis) and wind speed variations (energy transformation). The accuracy of the proposed simplified models is verified by comparing them with the detailed D-PMSG electromagnetic transient mode in Matlab/Simulink, and their use case of the power system simulation is validated based on the case study of the IEEE 39-bus system considering the above scenarios.
