Technical Report
25 Jun 2020
In 2015, Power System Relaying & Control Committee, jointly with Electric Machines and Transmission and Distribution committees, published a report entitled “Fault Contributions from Wind Farms”[1]. This report documented simulated and field data pertaining to different types of wind turbine generators (WTGs) and wind farms. The report showed the complexities of the short-circuit responses, especially from Type-III and Type-IV WTGs, which revealed that the existing phasor domain short-circuit models for WTGs in commercial fault analysis programs do not adequately capture the fault behavior of these WTGs. This led to the formation of this working group C24 - Modification of Commercial Fault Calculation Programs for Wind Turbine Generators.
The scope of this working group was:
1) To survey WTG manufacturers to determine what parameters they could provide that could be used by steady-state short-circuit program developers to model the response of WTGs in various time frames.
2) To use the results of this survey to prepare a report that can be used by steady-state short-circuit program developers to refine their models.
