摘要
Short-circuit modeling of wind generators is crucial to determine protective relay and control settings, equipment ratings, and to provide data for protection coordination. The short-circuit contribution of a Type 3 wind farm connected to a series-compensated line is affected by subsynchronous interactions, making it essential to model such behavior. Fundamental frequency models are unable to represent the majority of critical wind generator fault characteristics. The complete electromagnetic transient (EMT) models, though accurate, demand high levels of computation and modeling expertise. This paper proposes a novel modeling technique for a Type 3 wind farm based on the generalized averaging theory, where system variables are represented using time-varying Fourier coefficients known as dynamic phasors. The novelty and advantage of the proposed modeling technique is that it does not just include 60-Hz frequencies but also other dominant frequencies, such as 36 Hz, that are present due to the SSCI in the system. Methods currently used by the industry mostly rely on fundamental frequency-based analysis. Only the appropriate dynamic phasors are selected for the required fault behavior to be represented, improving computational efficiency. Once the SSCI behavior (waveforms showing resonant frequency at the point of common coupling) of a series-compensated Type 3 wind farm from real-time field data is available, the developed model could be used to simulate the scenario without necessarily having to know the exact control blocks of the wind generator controls. A 450-MW Type 3 wind farm, consisting of 150 units, was modeled using the proposed approach. The method is shown to be accurate for representing faults at the point of interconnection of the wind farm to the grid for balanced and unbalanced faults as well as for nonfundamental frequency components present in fault currents during subsynchronous interactions.
