MODEL-BASED DESIGN AND CROSS-PLATFORM DEPLOYMENT OF WIND POWER PLANT CONTROLLERS

Abstract

This paper presents a model-based development approach for wind power plant (WPP) control systems, emphasizing
the adaptation of control algorithms to meet specific technical and regulatory requirements, including grid codes. The WPP
controller is implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, enabling automatic code generation in C/C++ and Structured
Text for deployment on embedded platforms and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). To ensure interoperability with
industry-standard simulation tools such as DIgSILENT PowerFactory and PSCAD, the approach includes generating dynamic
link libraries (DLLs) conforming to the interface specification defined in IEC 61400-27-2:2020 (Annex G). The paper details
the verification process by comparing the DLL-based implementation against the original Simulink model and demonstrates
successful integration within external simulation environments. The proposed methodology accelerates the development, testing,
and certification of WPP controllers. Future work includes extending the framework to support integration with aeroelastic
models and digital twin platforms.
