User-Defined Modeling
CYMSTAB features a unique ability to supplement the already wide array of hard-coded models for system equipment and controllers, by providing the user the additional possibility to model any desired control system by virtue of User-Defined modeling.
The User-defined modeling approach rests on the premise of interpreting, at run time, the User-defined equations.
The program is provided with an extensive Library of elementary functions and building block controls to model any control scheme, including system-wide operations.

WECS, Wind Energy Conversion Systems
CYMSTAB now includes extensive modeling capability of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) dynamics. The advanced solution algorithms provide the user with the necessary tools to carry out power system studies comprising wind farm installations.
Three types of wind-turbine generation systems are supported, namely
- • ECS-IG, for induction generators directly coupled with the AC grid.
- • WECS-HVDC, for induction generators connected to the AC grid
through a Voltage-Source Converter (VSC) DC link.
- • WECS-DFIG, for doubly fed induction generators, featuring not only
a direct stator connection to the AC grid but, also, a VSC-based DC link
rotor energy recovery system, for variable turbine speed operation.
- • Wind modeling, accounting for "cut-in" and "cut-off" capability.
- • Two-mass drive train turbine-generator shaft model.
- • Blade Pitch control.
