Simulink-based Implementation of Wind Power Grid Integration Model in MATLAB

Detailed Documentation

In MATLAB, we utilize Simulink to simulate grid-connected wind power generation models. Wind power represents a clean and renewable energy source that offers significant environmental and economic benefits. By integrating wind power generation models with the electrical grid, the generated electricity can be injected into the power network, providing reliable electricity supply for local residents and enterprises. During simulation, critical factors such as wind turbine output characteristics, generator operational behavior, and grid variations must be considered to obtain accurate simulation results.

Key implementation aspects include modeling wind turbine aerodynamic characteristics using mathematical equations that convert wind speed to mechanical torque, implementing generator control algorithms (such as DFIG vector control or PMSG control strategies), and designing grid-side converters with synchronization techniques like Phase-Locked Loops (PLL). The Simulink model typically incorporates blocks for wind speed profiles, turbine dynamics, power converters, and grid connection points, with implementation involving PID controllers for power regulation and voltage stability maintenance.

Algorithm considerations involve maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques for optimizing energy capture, grid code compliance for voltage/frequency regulation, and fault ride-through capability simulations. Critical MATLAB functions include SimPowerSystems toolbox components for electrical network modeling and Control System Toolbox functions for implementing advanced control strategies.
