In this contribution, dynamic wind farm models suitable for fast simulation of power systems are presented. While deriving the models, special attention has been paid to increasing the computational speed of the simulation program. An important increase in speed is realized by the use of the well‐known dq0 transformation (Park transformation) not only for the generator but also for all other electrical components. The use of the Park transformation is common practice in electrical machine models, but not in the modelling of other electrical components. For single turbines, simulations in the dq0 reference frame are 100 times faster than simulations in the abc reference frame. After a discussion of the Park transformation and its most important properties, it is explained how models in the dq0 reference frame can be obtained. The dq0 models of the most important electrical components are presented. The mechanical and aerodynamic models that are needed for dynamic simulation of wind turbines are discussed briefly. The models are applied in Part 2. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
