Numerous studies have demonstrated that the modeling and simulation of wind turbines constitute essential tools for dynamic analysis, the evaluation of control strategies, and the integration of wind power generation into modern electrical power systems. Ackermann [9] establishes the fundamental framework for the analysis of wind energy in power systems, whereas Slootweg et al. [10] propose wind turbine representation models suitable for fundamental-frequency power system simulations. Likewise, Silva [11] investigates the integration of wind farms based on doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) and their associated control strategies. Furthermore, studies conducted by Kouadria et al. [3], Ovando et al. [5], Tammaruckwattana and Ohyama [6], Rocha [4], and Xie et al. [8] demonstrate the effectiveness of wind turbine emulators and simulation platforms for the experimental validation of control algorithms and energy conversion strategies.
