Simulink Model Development
After completing the MATLAB analysis, I focused on developing a Simulink model to validate the analytical approach through visual simulation. The objective was to show that the MATLAB-developed multi-turbine grid integration techniques could be effectively applied in a block-diagram simulation environment, offering a supplementary validation technique and laying the groundwork for possible real-time implementation. Simulink was selected because, in contrast to pure code, it allows for the visual depiction of system design, which facilitates the understanding of signal flow and data connections. The next natural step after this software-focused research would be to deliver Simulink models to embedded hardware for real-time control applications. Implementation Approach: Model Architecture The Simulink model was designed with a hierarchical structure representing the complete wind farm system: Turbine layer (4 constant Blocks): Represents individual turbine power outputs Turbine 1: 1....
