Abstract
The system description of the controllable grid interface (CGI) and the commercial multi-megawatt sized type 4 wind turbine generator (WTG) installed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) was presented in Chap. 7. Detailed, generic electromagnetic transient (EMT) models of the CGI and the WTG were developed in Chap. 8. The purpose of this chapter is the evaluation of said models. The models are implemented in PSCAD/EMTDC and evaluated for steady-state operating conditions and for various transients (including balanced and unbalanced low and high voltage ride-through (LVRT and HVRT, respectively)).
