Abstract

A Matlab/Simulink based tool for developing fast simulation wind farm models has been proposed. The wind farm development tool accepts user defined parameters such as mean wind speed, turbulent intensity wind farm layout and etc. to develop a wind farm model. The wind farm model contains the 5MW Supergen wind turbine dynamics suitable for controller design, a wind-field model based on the Veers algorithm for generating turbulent wind-field, and wake models based on the Frandsen analytical wake modelling technique for representing the wake propagation through the wind farm. The developed wind farm model is suitable for active power control and developing control algorithms for primary frequency response.
