Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of three variable-speed wind turbine simulators used for a 2 MW wind turbine short-term transient behaviour study during a symmetrical network disturbance. The simulator with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) analytical model, the simulator with a finite element method (FEM) DFIG model and the wind turbine simulator with an analytical model of DFIG are compared. The comparison of the simulation results shows the influence of the different modelling approaches on the short-term transient simulation accuracy
