Wind energy continues to be one of the fastest growing technology sectors. This trend isExpected to continue globally as we attempt to fulfill a growing electrical energy demand in an environmentally responsible manner. As the number of wind power plants (WPPs) continues to grow and the level of penetration reaches high levels in some areas, there is an increased interest on the part of power system planners in methodologies and techniques that can be used to adequately represent WPPs in the interconnected power systems. WPPs can be very large in terms of installed capacity. The number of turbines within a single WPP can be as high as 200 turbines or more, and the collector system within the WPP can have several hundred miles of overhead and underground lines. It is not practical to model in detail all individual turbines and the collector system for simulations typically conducted by power system planners. To simplify, it is a common practice to represent the entire WPP with a small group of equivalent turbine generators or a single turbine generator. In this report, we will describe the data preparation to validate equivalent models for a large WPP. FPL Energy’s 204â€MW New Mexico Wind Energy Center (NMEC), which is interconnected to the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) transmission system, was used as a case study. The data requirement for both steady state (power flow) and dynamic models are described in detail. Other reports related to this project will be listed in the references. One report describes methods to derive equivalent models for a WPP with different types and sizes of wind turbine, another report describes the method of wind turbine model validation. The objective of this report is to describe the data required to perform steady state and dynamic analysis of a WPP. Steady state analysis includes power flow and voltage stability. Dynamic analysis includes the transient, switching, or other dynamic events. |
