Abstract

This paper presents a distance protection algorithm a lied to the linked line for interconnecting wind farm with the utility. The capacity of wind farm is lower than utility system and its fault current level is very low. When a high resistance fault occurs in the linked line, it is difficult to detect accurate fault distance because of reactance effect. By using the characteristic of equivalent source impedance of induction generator which is compensated by capacitor bank and characteristic of the capacity of wind farm, this paper proposes improved distance protection algorithm applied to the linked line. A series of PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results have shown effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
