I updated Hypersim to 2026.3, and I saw the WT components with GFM control in the smart inverter library.
Are there any exmples of using WT components?
And Will the Grid Forming Pv inverter have the components as well?

Hello @Vincent_Jiang
Glad to hear you’ve updated to HYPERSIM 2026.3!

Here are the details regarding the Wind Turbine (WT) components and Grid-Forming (GFM) PV inverter support:

  1. Examples of Using Wind Turbine (WT) Components
    In HYPERSIM 2026.3, the WECC-based Smart Inverter Library includes native Type 3 Wind Turbine dynamics (with WTGT_A, WTGA_A, WTGP_A, and WTGQ_A blocks covering aerodynamic, drivetrain, pitch-control, and torque-control dynamics), complementing existing Type 4 Wind Farm models.

To access example models and documentation directly in HYPERSIM:

Built-in Examples: Open HYPERSIM and navigate to File > Open Example > Renewable Energy (or the Wind Integration category) to find ready-to-run wind integration demo circuits.

Documentation: In the HYPERSIM Help menu / Documentation under WECC Wind Turbine Modeling, you will find detailed parameter descriptions, block connection diagrams, and initialization workflows.

  1. Grid-Forming (GFM) Control for PV Inverters
    Yes, the Grid-Forming components can be used for PV inverters as well.

The Smart Inverter Library is designed with a modular architecture:

Modular Control Building Blocks: The core GFM modules including Signal Conditioning, Primary Control (Droop & Virtual Synchronous Generator / VSG), Inner Voltage & Current Control Loops, and Reference Generation, are source-agnostic and can be interfaced with PV array models or dispatchable DC sources.

Example Model: You can explore the GFM_Control_Smart_Inverter.ecf model (located under Examples > Renewable Energy), which demonstrates multi-inverter parallel operation and power sharing using Droop and VSG controls.

Initialization in 2026.3: HYPERSIM 2026.3 natively supports GFM inverter initialization, allowing your PV grid-forming models to reach steady state smoothly at the start of simulation.
