This paper presents the use of real time simulation applied to the development of generic wind turbine models, defined by IEC 61400-27-1, which are used in order to obtain an accurate behaviour under power system stability concerns without the need of many computation resources.
These models have been implemented to be simulated in a real-time simulator. In contrast with conventional simulation tools, real time simulation allows dynamic interaction with the model, and hence the adjustment of models is faster and easier. It is also presented how physical devices can be implemented within the model aiming at an improved interaction approach.
