A novel dynamic co-simulation methodology of overall wind turbine systems is presented.\nThis methodology combines aerodynamics, mechanism dynamics, control system dynamics, and\nsubsystems dynamics. Aerodynamics and turbine properties were modeled in FAST (Fatigue,\nAerodynamic, Structures, and Turbulence), and ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical\nSystems) performed the mechanism dynamics; control system dynamics and subsystem dynamics\nsuch as generator, pitch control system, and yaw control system were modeled and built in\nMATLAB/SIMULINK. Thus, this comprehensive integration of methodology expands both the\nflexibility and controllability of wind turbines. The dynamic variations of blades, rotor dynamic\nresponse, and tower vibration can be performed under different inputs of wind profile, and the\ncontrol strategies can be verified in the different closed loop simulation. Besides, the dynamic\nsimulation results are compared with the measuring results of SCADA (Supervisory Control and\nData Acquisition) of a 2MW wind turbine for ensuring the novel dynamic co-simulation methodology.
