With the construction of new power system, high-capacity renewable energy sources including wind power are integrated into the power system, whose transient response characteristics have a significant impact on the safe and stable operation of both renewable energy sources and power system. Real-time simulation has become an effective method to study interaction between high-capacity renewable energy sources and power system because of its high accuracy and reliability, and precise wind turbine real-time simulation model is of great significance in research mentioned above. Therefore, the wind turbine control hardware in loop (CHIL) real-time simulation method is proposed in the paper, whose feasibility and accuracy are also verified by comparing simulation data from CHIL platform and on-site testing data. It’s further used in the analysis of large-scale offshore wind farm cluster and connected power system as a practical reference case.
