Model validation for wind turbine generator models

Abstract

This paper summarizes the work of the ad hoc Task Force on wind generation model validation. The paper describes the concept of model validation, how this applies to wind turbine generation systems and then gives clear examples of the most recent efforts to achieve model validation for wind turbine power plants. The document ends with a summary of the learning from the work presented and the conclusions which can be derived. Recommendations are made on the path forward for wind turbine generator modeling and model validation, primarily focused on generic models (i.e. standardized and publicly available) for stability analysis in power system studies.
