Wind turbine generators (WTGs) equipped with the inertial response feature have been in operation on the Hydro‐Québec system since 2012. As part of the validation and performance test program carried out at each wind power plant, on‐line monitoring was used to evaluate the inertial response during under frequency events. This study presents the status of the ongoing assessment using field measurements and simulation results for type‐III and type‐IV WTGs equipped with the inertial response feature required by Hydro‐Québec TransÉnergie since 2006.
