ABSTRACT
This paper presents wind turbine aerodynamic and drive train modelling for the purpose of
transient stability analysis using PSCAD. Firstly, a detailed aerodynamic and 2-mass drive
train model are given numerically; secondly, a ready-to-use Fortran code is given for
modelling implementation in PSCAD. Comparing with the standard wind turbine models in
PSCAD, the presented model provide the possibility of setting the initialization condition, also
can easily be extended or revised for other study purposes.

1 INTRODUCTION
Accurate wind turbine mechanical parts models are essential for transient stability analysis.
However, in the simulation tool PSCAD [1] ,the function of standard MOD2 type wind turbine
component models is limited; for example, they don’t provide the possibility of set the initial
speed of both rotor and generator, which is necessary for some cases simulation. For this
reason, the author has been working on the mechanical parts modeling, which can be easily
revised for various study purpose.

Where the whole drive train equivalent stiffness constant can be given by [6], which is similar
as calculation of two parallel resistances.
