Wind Turbine Modeling Overview
While strictly speaking, wind turbine models do not have a "machine model", "exciter", "governor", or "stabilizer" in the way that a traditional synchronous generator model does, the relationships between the wind machine model, electrical model, mechanical model, and a pseudo-governor model are very similiar. As a result, when looking at generators in the Simulator user interface, the various wind models will be listed under the traditional categories for synchronous machines of "machine model", "exciter", "governor", or "stabilizer". Examples are shown below.

It will obviously not make any sense to configure a generator to use a wind machine model with a traditional synchronous machine exciter model and governor, so care should be taken not to setup such configurations. Presently Simulator does not check for such gross input errors.
