Abstract: With attention increasing towards worldwide ecological conservation, the energy policies of various countries are moving towards renewable energy systems, primarily with solar and wind as the primary power sources. The Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) has developed a generic model as a simulation framework for a typical solar wind generation system to analyze the response of the actual equipment. In this paper, we propose a parameter tuning process for a generic model controller that combines Latin hypercube sampling and Pareto optimization to enable a generic model to effectively match the output of an actual inverter device. Different operating scenarios were considered to match the dynamic characteristics of the inverter device using the multi-objective particle swarm algorithm (MOPSO) along with Pareto optimization. The effectiveness of the proposed parameter tuning process was verified on a user-defined test system and, later, the IEEE 39 bus system with a large solar power facility.
