Description
Summary:As the grid-connected capacity of a large number of wind farms continues to increase, their short-circuit current will have a great impact on protection. Therefore, accurate short-circuit current calculation is beneficial for correct protection action evaluation. Considering the issues related to the diversity of wind turbine types in wind farms and the inability to accurately simulate the failure transient process in previous studies, this research focuses on investigating the impact of control strategies during faults on the transient process of wind turbines. In this paper, the single-machine equivalent model of doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) and permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) is established by considering the types of wind turbines, and the calculation method of short-circuit current of hybrid wind farms is further proposed by using the classification aggregation equivalent effect method. The accuracy of short-circuit current calculation proposed in this article was verified on RTDS, and a power grid fault analysis method suitable for wind farm connection was proposed based on the characteristics of equivalent circuits of DFIG and PMSM during fault steady-state.
