Sumario:Wind turbine manufacturers are required by transmission system operators for fault ride-through capability as the penetra-tion of wind energy in the electrical systems grows. For this reason, testing and modeling of wind turbines and wind farmsare required by the national grid codes to verify the fulfillment of this capability.Therefore, wind turbine models are required to simulate the evolution of voltage, current, reactive and active powerduring faults. The simulation results obtained from these wind turbine models are used for verification, validation and cer-tification against the real wind turbines measurement results, although evolution of electrical variables during the fault andits clearance is not easy to fulfill.The purpose of this paper is to show the different stages involved in the fulfillment of the procedure of operation forfault ride-through capability of the Spanish national grid code (PO 12.3) and the ‘procedure for verification, validation andcertification of the requirements of the PO 12.3 on the response of wind farms in the event of voltage dips’. The process hasbeen applied to a wind farm composed of Gamesa G52 wind turbines, and the results obtained are presented.
