Wind Turbine Generator
The Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) module allows you to design and monitor wind farms via a highly flexible graphic interface optimized for both steady-state and dynamic simulation. The WTG module is fully integrated with all ETAP calculation modules such as Load Flow, Short circuit, Transient Stability, Harmonic Analysis, Protective Device Coordination, and ETAP Real-Time. User-defined actions may be added to simulate disturbances like wind variation and relay operations. It also predicts the dynamic response of each individual wind turbine generator. Analysis results may be utilized to analyze alternative turbine placement, tuning of control parameters, selection and placement of protective devices, and sizing associated equipment.
The ETAP WTG module comes to market with proven utility. It is currently being used for real-time monitoring of power exchange between wind turbines and the power grid at the third largest wind farm in the United States.
