Synchronous Wind: Evaluating the Grid Impact of Inverterless Grid-Forming Wind Power Plants: Preprint
Grid-forming (GFM) control of Type-3 and Type-4 wind turbine generators have attracted substantial attention in power system research. However, the limited over-current capability of power electronics converters continues to deteriorate the grid strength of the evolving power systems. This paper developed the generic model of synchronous wind power generators, also known as Type-5 wind turbines, for the power system integration studies. The Type-5 wind turbine interface to the grid through a synchronous generator; hence, its operation and consequent grid impacts are similar to a conventional power plant. Based on the developed model, a Type-5 wind power plant is integrated into IEEE 14-bus testbed to evaluate its control and operation with a bulk power system. Finally, the stability properties of Type-5 wind turbine generators are compared with Type-3 wind turbines in GFM control mode through impedance characterization.
