This thesis examines the response of a wind power plant to various extreme events in the power system, with a focus on analyzing the behavior of a wind turbine during short circuits. The problem addressed is the understanding of the system response and the role of control in ensuring stable operation during a grid disturbance.
For the analysis, two predeveloped simulation models of a wind power plant were used, both including adjustable parameters, preprepared subsystems, and control structures. A particular advantage of the second model is that it represents a type 4 wind turbine, which allows complete control over currents and voltages and thus enables a more realistic analysis of operation during grid disturbances. Several simulations of different types of short circuits were performed, with special emphasis placed on the influence of the control parameter Imax, which limits the magnitude of the short-circuit currents.
The results showed that the dynamic response of the wind turbine during disturbances is strongly dependent on the applied control. A unified solution of the response cannot be provided, as it varies depending on the manufacturer and the way the control is implemented and tuned. The analysis on the second model confirmed that the parameter Imax significantly influences the dynamics and stability of the current. By adjusting this parameter, different simulation outcomes are obtained. The main conclusion of the thesis is that understanding the functioning of control and its impact on the wind turbine response is a key factor in planning the integration of wind power plants into the power system.
