IEC 61400-27-1:2020 définit des modèles de simulation électrique normalisés pour les éoliennes et les centrales éoliennes. Il s'agit de modèles de simulation directe dans le domaine temporel, destinés à être utilisés dans des analyses de stabilité du réseau d'énergie électrique et du réseau de distribution. Ces modèles s'appliquent à des simulations dynamiques de la stabilité à court terme des réseaux d'énergie électrique. Le présent document définit les termes et paramètres génériques pour les modèles de simulation électrique. Il spécifie des modèles de simulation électrique pour les topologies/configurations génériques de centrales éoliennes actuellement disponibles sur le marché. Les modèles de centrales éoliennes comprennent les éoliennes, la commande de centrale éolienne et les matériels auxiliaires. Les modèles de centrales éoliennes sont décrits de manière modulaire avec différents concepts d’éoliennes et peuvent être appliqués aux futurs concepts de centrales éoliennes. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2015. Cette édition constitue une révision technique et une restructuration du contenu en deux parties. La nouvelle structure regroupe les modèles dans la partie 27-1 et les procédures de validation dans la partie 27-2. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a. "Éoliennes" a été modifié en "Modèles génériques" en raison de l’ajout de modèles de centrales éoliennes, et du transfert de la validation du modèle dans l’IEC 61400-27-2; b. des modèles de centrales éoliennes ont été spécifiés, y compris la commande d’installation, le modèle de système de communication et la procédure d’agrégation pour le système de collecte de puissance, en plus des modèles d’éoliennes présentés dans l’édition précédente; c. les procédures de validation des modèles d’éoliennes de la présente édition ont été transférées dans la partie 27-2; d. la structure modulaire qui sépare la commande d’éolienne entre commande de pas et commande de l’aérogénérateur a été précisée, et les modules de mesure du réseau ont été extraits des modules de commande. Les figures ont été révisées en conséquence; e. un modèle pour STATCOM a été ajouté; f. des modules de composants électriques ont été ajoutés.

INTRODUCTION
IEC 61400-27-1 specifies standard dynamic electrical simulation models for wind turbines and
wind power plants. The specified wind turbine models can either be used in wind power plant
models or to represent wind turbines without wind power plant relationships. Apart from the
wind turbine models, the wind power plant model may include models for auxiliary equipment
such as STATCOMs which are often used in wind power plants.
The increasing penetration of wind energy in power systems implies that Transmission System
Operators (TSOs) and Distribution System Operators (DSOs) need to use dynamic models of
wind power generation for power system stability studies. The models developed by the wind
turbine manufacturers reproduce the behaviour of their machines with a high level of detail.
Such level of detail is not suitable for stability studies of large power systems with a huge
number of wind power plants, firstly because the high level of detail increases the complexity
and thus computer time dramatically, and secondly because the use of detailed manufacturer
specific models requires a substantial amount of input data to represent the individual wind
turbine types.
The purpose of this International Standard is to specify generic dynamic models, which can be
applied in power system stability studies. The IEEE/CIGRE Joint Task Force on Stability Terms
and Definitions [11] has classified power system stability in categories according to

Force on Stability Terms and Definitions [11]
Referring to these categories, the models are developed to represent wind power generation in
studies of large-disturbance short term stability phenomena, i.e. short term voltage stability,
short term frequency stability and short term transient stability studies referring to the definitions
of IEEE/CIGRE Joint Task Force on Stability Terms and Definitions in Figure 1. Thus, the
models are applicable for dynamic simulations of power system events such as short-circuits
(low voltage ride through), loss of generation or loads [12], and system separation of a
synchronous system into more synchronous areas.

The models shall be complete enough to represent the dynamic behavior of the wind power
plant at the point of connection and of the wind turbine at the wind turbine terminals, but shall
also be suitable for large-scale grid studies. Therefore, simplified models are specified to
perform the typical response of known technologies.
The wind power plant models specified in this document are for fundamental frequency positive
sequence response .
The models have the following limitations:
– The models are not intended for long term stability analysis.
– The models are not intended for investigation of sub-synchronous interaction phenomena.
– The models are not intended for investigation of the fluctuations originating from wind speed
variability in time and space. This implies that the models do not include phenomena such
as turbulence, tower shadow, wind shear and wakes.
– The models do not cover phenomena such as harmonics, flicker or any other EMC emissions
included in the IEC 61000 series.
– The wind generation systems are highly non-linear and simplifications have been made in
the development of the models. Thus, linearisation for eigenvalue analysis is not trivial nor
necessarily appropriate based on these simplified models.
– This document does not address the specifics of short-circuit calculations.
– The models are not applicable to studies where wind turbines are islanded without
synchronous generation.
– The models are not intended for studies of situations with short-circuit ratios less than 3.
The short circuit limitation depends on wind turbine types, control modes and other settings.
The WT manufacturer can specify a lower limit for the applicable short-circuit ratio provided
that this application is validated according to part 27-2.
– The models are limited by the functi
