Abstract

The description of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) grid simulator (referred to as controllable grid interface, CGI) and the commercial multi-megawatt sized type 4 wind turbine generator (WTG) was given in Chap. 7. This chapter focusses on the time domain modelling of the CGI and the WTG. The models of the power electronic devices (PEDs) are implemented in PSCAD/EMTDC. The obtained test results are used to evaluate the time domain models of NREL’s test setup including the PEDs in Chap. 9.
