Apparatus for simulating wind power farm

An apparatus for simulating a wind power farm, comprising:

• a processor including:
• a wind power generator simulator configured to act as a virtual wind power generator to dynamically generate an attribute value and provide the attribute value to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to be tested;
• a wind power generator simulation platform configured to generate and manage a plurality of wind power generator simulators within one system, monitor hardware resources installed in the system, monitor operation states of the plurality of wind power generator simulators, and transmit a result of monitoring the operation states;
• and
• a wind power farm controller configured to generate a wind power farm by grouping a plurality of wind power generator simulation platforms into a single cluster, and manage a simulation environment of the wind power farm,
• the SCADA system controls a physical wind power turbine based on the simulation environment of the wind power farm,
• wherein each of the wind power generator simulation platforms generates the plurality of wind power generator simulators using the wind power farm controller to provide the simulation environment of the wind power farm within a range of the hardware resources of each of the systems, and
• wherein, when the wind power farm controller receives a request from a user to generate a new virtual wind power generator, the wind power farm controller controls the wind power generator simulation platform to generate a wind power generator simulator and to transmit in real time the attribute value, which is obtained by simulating a virtual wind power generator, as test data to the SCADA system to be tested, whereby a simulation environment of a large-scale wind power farm to verify the functionality and stability of the SCADA system is provided.
