Protection of Wind Turbine Generators Using Microcontroller-Based Applications

Protection  of Wind Turbine Generators Using Microcontroller-Based Applications  focuses on the application of microcontrollers in the protection of wind  turbine generators. The book looks at the design and implementation of a  versatile digital overcurrent (OC), OV/UV, OF/UF, and negative sequence  relays, and addresses the dynamic behaviour of a wind-driven induction  generator (IG) connected to a power system grid through a transmission  line. The transient responses of protective devices associated with the  IG are also studied. Modelling of the digital relay for wind turbine  generator protection using MATLAB Simulink consider most of the  aerodynamic and mechanical effects that can influence instantaneous  output voltage, current, and power. Coverage also includes different AC  fault types, a detailed theoretical analysis of fault and protection  strategy in AC fault, and the different types of fault detection  algorithms to maintain power system reliability.
