or prerequisites for taking your course? To get the most out of this course, learners should have the following: Basic knowledge of electrical power systems - Understanding of concepts like active/reactive power, voltage control, and AC grids. Familiarity with wind turbine technology - A general awareness of DFIG (Doubly-Fed Induction Generator) operation is helpful, but not strictly required as it will be covered. DIgSILENT PowerFactory software - You will need access to the software (student or commercial version) to follow along with the hands-on tutorials. A basic working knowledge of the software interface is a plus, but beginners to the tool are welcome as the tutorials start from the integration steps. Fundamental understanding of control systems - Knowing the basics of AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulators) and excitation systems will help you grasp the later sections on limiters and capability curves. No prior knowledge of grid codes (e.g., G99) is required - All compliance Requirements

will be explained from the ground up during the course.
Description

The global energy transition is accelerating, and renewable energy sources particularly wind power-are now at the heart of modern power systems. However, connecting these variable energy sources to the grid is not as simple as plugging them in. It requires deep technical expertise in power system simulation, reactive power management, and stringent grid code compliance. If you are an electrical engineer, a renewable energy professional, or a student looking to break into this high-demand field, this course is your comprehensive, hands-on guide to mastering renewable energy integration usingDIgSILENT PowerFactory one of the industry's most powerful and widely used simulation tools.
This course takes you on a step-by-step journey, starting with the fundamentals of reactive power control. You will clearly understand the critical differences between how conventional synchronous generators and modern power inverters manage reactive power a foundational concept that underpins grid stability. From there, we dive straight into practical, project-based learning.
You will learn how to build a completeDFIG (Doubly-Fed Induction Generator) wind turbine model in DIgSILENT PowerFactory across a series of detailed, hands-on tutorials. You won't just watch; you will follow along as we construct the model from scratch, run RMS load step tests, and analyze the dynamic responses of your wind turbine under various grid disturbances.
A major pillar of this course isgrid compliance. We will demystify the technical requirements of modern grid codes, with a specific focus on the UK'sG99 Issue 2 standard. You will learn exactly what reactive power capabilities are expected from generating plants and how to interpret and build theGenerator Reactive Power Capability Envelope inside DIgSILENT.
Furthermore, we will go deep into the control loops that make it all possible modeling and tuning theAVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator), the excitation system, and the all-important limiters that protect your equipment while ensuring the grid remains stable.
By the end of this course, you will have a rock-solid, practical skillset that you can immediately apply to real-world grid integration projects. Whether you are designing a new wind farm, planning a solar PV plant, or working in grid operations, this course will give you the confidence to simulate, analyze, and troubleshoot grid compliance issues like a seasoned professional. Join us and take your career in renewable energy to the next level!
