There are some errors in the workspace in creating reference currents in wind farm. The dq library is unable to generate simulation.
help us to generate this simulation.

I have ran the simulation but I have faced to an error :" The local project requires a link library: mpptv1.o that does not exist with the given path".
please let me know how to solve this problem and run this model without error.

Hello Ebrahim. I'm facing the same problem and issue with the PV simulation. please let me know how did you solve this problem ?

I have uploaded the same example but I have now added the links to the object files. This has been causing some problems with users who are not familiar with linking objects in PSCAD. This simplest thing to do is to load the WORKSPACE everything will load for you.

If you have an older version of PSCAD then you will have to load the 2 libraries first and then the project that is setup now to run with the GFortran compiler.

Hello, I have downloaded there file and when it comes to running it I have come across an error.
make:***[Distributive_Gen.exe] Error 1

Is there a solution to this problem?

I just ran the Distributed Generation example with PSCAD 4.5.4 and it still runs fine for me. Make sure you are using the GFortran compiler and make sure you load the workspace file `defaultGFortran.pswx`

Hello George, I am using PSCAD 4.4.1 version on an educational licence, will this make a difference?

Yep, I just tried 4.4.1 with an educational license and it works fine. 4.4.1 does not support workspaces so you will have to do the following:

- load "Distributive_Gen_LibraryA.pslx"
- load "Distributive_Gen_LibraryB.pslx"
- load "Distributive_Gen.pscx"
- make sure you are using the GFortran compiler
- build and run simualtion

Hello George,

For the DFIG wind turbine are its properties based on a real life wind turbine? if so is there a specification sheet available for it?

the power flow from the PV is negative , earlier it used to drop abruptly but i have connected an inductor of 1 H after the inverter

Hello All

I have modified the example by linking in the dependant objects. This seeemd to be a source of problems for new users.

If you have a version of PSCAD that supports workspaces, then simply load the workspace called "defaultGFortran" and then run the example.

If you have an older version of PSCAD, then simply load the 2 libraries first then the project and run the example.

Can you please provide the reference for implementing the DFIG ? the control is a bit weird because Inverter is not used
can you help me with wind integration where we can minimise the fluctuation of wind farm using SMES?
PSCAD 4.2 version not openning the above models. Kindly help me to get the above models in PSCAD 4.2.
