Research on Adaptive Current Protection of Wind Farm

Abstract:

In allusion to the problems of convention current protection when it was used to collect circuit of wind farm, the relay protection should consider the short-circuit current of wind generators; The principle of adaptive current protection was described, the fault current and attenuation characteristic of asynchronous wind generator was studied, the scheme of adaptive current protection was proposed for wind farm operation. Taking PSCAD/EMTDC as the platform, simulation and record the voltage and current sample-data of different wind farm operation which can guarantee high sensitivity phase selection, the high accuracy wind generators impedance measure method based on FFT filter DC component is presented , and using MATLAB program achieved the scheme of adaptive current protection. Simulation results demonstrate that collect circuit adaptive current protection is adaptive wind farm operation model, and enhance the operation benefit of wind farm.
