Modeling Workshop

Task Force (REMTF) and Modeling and Validation
Work Group (MVWG)

PV and Wind Plants
• Wind, and increasingly PV, represent a significant
amount of generating capacity in WECC
– 2015HS case: 16GW wind, 4GW of PV (~15% of min load)
– Additional >1GW of distribution-connected PV
– PV and wind capacity projected to increase rapidly
• Adequate models are required for compliance with
reliability standards and generator interconn. studies
• WECC REMTF is leading effort to develop generic, nonproprietary models for planning studies
– Alternative to vendor-specific, proprietary, user-written,
which are generally not suitable for regional planning
2
WECC REMTF Charter
• The Renewable Energy Modeling Task Force shall
– Develop specifications for generic, non-proprietary, positivesequence power flow and dynamic simulation models for
solar and wind generation for use in bulk system studies
– Coordinate implementation of models in commercial
simulation software
– Develop model application and validation guidelines
– Coordinate with stakeholders
• REMTF reports to the WECC Modeling & Validation
Work Group (MVWG), which in turns reports to WECC
Technical Studies Subcommittee (TSS)
Modeling Needs and Standards
• Improving accessibility to PV and wind power plant
models is indispensable to properly assess the
reliability of the bulk power system
• NERC’s point of view:
“Validated, generic, non-confidential, and public standard power flow and
stability (positive-sequence) models for variable generation technologies are
needed. Such models should be readily validated and publicly available to
power utilities and all other industry stakeholders. Model parameters
should be provided by variable generation manufacturers and a common
model validation standard across all technologies should be adopted...”

Different Types of Models
• Power flow representation
REMTF Scope
– Facility loading, voltage stability & control
• Positive-sequence dynamic models
– Large-signal stability, rotor angle stability
• Short circuit models
– Breaker duty, protection design/coordination
• Detailed, full-order models
– Electromagnetic phenomena
– Control interaction
5
REMTF Efforts Over Time
• Wind Generation Modeling Group (WGMG)
established in 2005
– Produced 1st generation of generic wind models
• Transitioned into Renewable Energy Task Force
(REMTF) in 2011
– Worked on 2nd generation of generic wind models
and generic PV models
• Recent scope expansion (work in progress)
– Short circuit guides, plant controller, energy storage

PV/Wind Plant Power Flow Model
• Single machine model is suitable for bulk studies
– Equivalent representation of inverters, pad-mounted
transformers, and MV/LV collector system
– Explicit representation of substation transformer and plantlevel reactive support, if any (e.g., switched caps, STATCOM)
– The goal is to approximate aggregate behavior at the POI

Power Flow Equivalencing
How to obtain equivalent
collector system parameters?
Single-machine power flow model
1. Estimate based on typical
design parameters
2. Best way: Calculate from
collector system design data

Reactive Capability
• Equivalent generator reactive capability
– Varies with output level, voltage level, type of generator
• Inverter/WTG and plant-level reactive control
– PF or Q control, V/Q droop, or closed-loop V-control
• May need to adjust according study scenario

Dynamic Models for PV Power Plants
A. Ellis
REMTF Dynamic Model Specs.
• Consistent with established modeling approach at the
transmission (bulk system) level
– Positive-sequence, for large-scale bulk-level simulations
– Suitable for use with equivalent (single-generator) power
flow plant representation
– Reproduce fundamental dynamic characteristics following
electrical disturbances (as opposed to wind/solar events)
– Bandwidth: Steady-state to 5 Hz; faster dynamics expressed
algebraically or ignored
– Generic: parametrically adjustable so that equipment of the
same type (e.g., Type 3 WTG plants, PV plants, etc.)
– Available as standard library models in commercial software

PV Plant Controller
• Reactive control options: V control, Q control, V/Q droop control
• Active power control options: P control, P/freq droop control (governor
response)
25
Inverter P/Q Electrical Controls
• Local PF or Q control with overriding voltage dip response
• Active power limits and rate-of-change limit
• Current limiter with P or Q priority
26
Generator/Converter Model
• High voltage Iq logic: (software-specific, integration with network solution)
• Low voltage Ip control: (approximate PLL response during voltage dips)
• Low voltage Ip control: allow for controlled active current response during
and following voltage dips
27
Voltage & Frequency Tolerance
Voltage and frequency tolerance can be roughly represented
using standard (V,t) and (f,t) protection models
