This paper presents a method to better integrate dynamic models for renewable resources into synthetic electric grids. An automated dynamic models assignment process is proposed for wind and solar generators. A realistic composition ratio for different types of wind turbine generators (WTG) is assigned to each wind generator. Statistics summarized from real electric grid data form the bases in assigning proper models with reasonable parameters to each WTG. A similar process is used to assign appropriate models and parameters to each photovoltaic (PV) generator. Multiple control strategies of the renewable resources are considered and tested in case studies. Two large-scale synthetic network test cases are used as examples of modeling the dynamics of renewable generators. Several transient stability metrics are adopted to assess the stability level after being subject to N-1 contingency event. Representative contingency events are given to demonstrate the performance of the synthetic renewable generator models.
