Modeling of doubly-fed induction generators connected to distribution system based on eMEGASim® real-time digital simulator

This study is aimed to model and develop a stable test bed for a wind farm composed of six doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) connected to a distribution system based on the OPAL-RT’s eMEGASim® real-time digital simulator. The system in this research consists of a 9 MW wind farm, an average SimpowerSystems® DFIG wind turbine, connected to a 13.8 kV IEEE 14 bus distribution network. A Simulink model was designed and built using SimPowerSystem Simulink of Matlab R2011a. Most of existing studies on the simulation relevant to wind power mainly focus on off-line simulation. Therefore, the model has been rebuilt on the RT-LAB environment based on the OPAL-RT’s eMEGASim® real-time digital simulator to test the wind farm performance at the same rate as actual time. After running the model on eMEGASim® real-time digital simulator, some studies such as three-phase to ground fault and voltage sag have been made to test the response of the model.
