A Protective Scheme for Wind Farm Interconnected to Distribution System

풍력발전단지가 연계된 배전계통에서의 보호방안

Wind energy can be conversed into electrical power using wind generator. Wind farm is made up of many wind generators, and it is often interconnected into distribution system to supply power for utilities. There are many protection problems on distribution system connected with Wind farm. It can effect on power quality severely when faults are occurred on distribution line or Wind farms. Therefore the correct protective scheme must be set for distribution system which has a Wind farm. In this paper, A wind farm connected into distribution line is simulated with several fault types which can be occurred on distribution line and Wind farm using PSCAD/EMTDC. And this paper proposes necessary relays to protect both sides of distribution system and wind farm.
