Abstract

A small test model of the transmission system containing a number of central power plants, consumption centers, local wind turbines and a large offshore wind farm is implemented in the simulation tool Powerfactory (DigSilent). This small test model is used for demonstration of interaction between electricity-producing wind turbines and a realistic transmission system and investigation of problems with relation to short-term voltage stability and ride-through capability of the wind turbines. The model is submitted by the Danish Transmission System Operator (TSO) Energinet.dk to the Center for Electric Technology (CET) at the Technical University of Denmark, where it is presently applied in education of electric power engineer candidates and research projects
