Crowbar conduction has an impact on the transient characteristics of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) in the short-circuit fault condition.

Considering the different grid connection structures for single DFIG and WPP, the criterion is revised and the crowbar conduction is judged depending on the revised criterion. Furthermore, an aggregation model of the WPP is established based on the division principle of crowbar conduction.

With the rapid development of wind power generation andpower electronics the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)has recently become the most commonly used wind turbinein wind power plant (WPP) based on its characteristicsof maximum power point tracking (MPPT) [1] decoupledcontrol of active and reactive powers [2] the use of a powerconvertor with a rated power of 25 of total system power[3] and so forth To investigate the effect of the ongoingchanges in power systems due to the increasing penetrationof wind power a wide range of studies from steady-state totransient are necessary A detailed WPP model in whichthe dynamics of each wind turbine and the internal networkare fully represented is not suitable as it could significantlyincrease the order of the mathematical model of the powersystem to be solved and thus influence the overall simulationtime As a result the equivalent WPP model is generallyrecommended for reflecting the collective response of thewhole WPP on large power systems

Equivalent WPPs using aggregated wind turbines areclassified as either the single-machine representation or themultiple-machine representation [4] In the first case theactual WPP is modeled as a unique rescale wind turbinein the single-machine representation Accordingly this isrational when all wind turbines are operating in an identicalcondition whereas that might not be the case in real-worldsystem operation Nowadays in order to improve the con-formity of the single-machine representation with the actualWPP numerical identification methods for optimizing theparameters of equivalent models are applied The optimizedobjects include the generator [5 6] power convertor [7]and passive frequency-dependent network [8] The fuzzylogic system is also utilized to compute the mechanicaltorque compensating factor which is integrated into a single-machine aggregated WPP [9]

In the second case study of the multiple-machine repre-sentation focuses on selecting reasonable clustering indicesby quantifying and abstracting key features of wind tur-bines The coherency method is presented in [10 11] by

Figure 4 Daisy-chain physical diagram of the WPP

clustering index considering the influence of fault types oncoherency is depicted in [15]

Compared with conventional power resources windresources are stochastic and fluctuating Equivalent modelsof an actual WPP might change due to different operatingconditions Therefore the actual application should be basedon historical data for the specific WPP and establish aprobabilistic equivalent WPP [13 16 17] This makes theequivalent WPP very practical and easy to use

On the basis of previous equivalentmethods the researchhot-spot has gradually shifted to the validation and anal-ysis of equivalent WPPs using field measurement dataThe primary focus of reference [17] is to explain that themultiple-machine representation should take the diversityin protection conduction into account by investigating thediscrepancies between the simulation results and the actualmeasurement Perdana et al [18] and Singh et al [19] exploremethods for validating the equivalent WPPs for SCIG-basedand DFIG-based WPP respectively Meanwhile reference[20] supports the fact that traditional clustering indicesfail to cluster wind turbines when crowbar protection isenabled Therefore it is necessary to develop an equivalentmethod for modeling WPPs considering system protec-tion

This paper proposes a new equivalent method for mod-eling WPPs when the crowbar protection is taken intoaccount Based on the rotor current of the DFIG afteran external three-phase short-circuit fault the terminalvoltage dip threshold is determined and from this it canbe identified whether the crowbar protection is activatedThen the threshold is revised based on the influence of thechain topology of the WPP The revised terminal voltagedip threshold can be utilized to judge whether the crowbaris conducting Furthermore the equivalent WPP is estab-lished based on the division principle of crowbar conduc-tion Finally the proposed equivalent WPP is simulatedby the DIgSILENT PowerFactory platform and the resultsare compared with those of traditional equivalent WPPsand the detailed WPP The simulation results validate theeffectiveness of the equivalent method for modeling DFIG-based WPP

fixed the terminal voltage dip is the function of only thepower outputs and the steady-state terminal voltage As aresult the terminal voltage dip threshold can be quantifiedwhen the crowbar protection is just activated Crowbarconduction occurs if the terminal voltage dip is lower thanthe terminal voltage drop threshold Otherwise the crowbarprotection is not activated

We select 01MW as the power step length within thescope of the DFIG rated power and 001 pu as the voltage steplength within the amplitude scope of steady-state terminalvoltage 097ndash107 pu [22] The terminal voltage dip changesthrough regulating the external short-circuit impedance andthen finding out the terminal voltage dip threshold whichmakes the rotor current equal to the maximum rotor currentfor crowbar protection insertion The terminal voltage dipthresholds of the DFIG whose power factor is minus095 1and 095 respectively are presented in Figure 3 The DFIGparameters are specified in Table 1

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

built by this paper is more similar to the detailedWPP due toits higher equivalent accuracy for crowbar conduction

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

Figure 4 Daisy-chain physical diagram of the WPP

clustering index considering the influence of fault types oncoherency is depicted in [15]

Compared with conventional power resources windresources are stochastic and fluctuating Equivalent modelsof an actual WPP might change due to different operatingconditions Therefore the actual application should be basedon historical data for the specific WPP and establish aprobabilistic equivalent WPP [13 16 17] This makes theequivalent WPP very practical and easy to use

On the basis of previous equivalentmethods the researchhot-spot has gradually shifted to the validation and anal-ysis of equivalent WPPs using field measurement dataThe primary focus of reference [17] is to explain that themultiple-machine representation should take the diversityin protection conduction into account by investigating thediscrepancies between the simulation results and the actualmeasurement Perdana et al [18] and Singh et al [19] exploremethods for validating the equivalent WPPs for SCIG-basedand DFIG-based WPP respectively Meanwhile reference[20] supports the fact that traditional clustering indicesfail to cluster wind turbines when crowbar protection isenabled Therefore it is necessary to develop an equivalentmethod for modeling WPPs considering system protec-tion

This paper proposes a new equivalent method for mod-eling WPPs when the crowbar protection is taken intoaccount Based on the rotor current of the DFIG afteran external three-phase short-circuit fault the terminalvoltage dip threshold is determined and from this it canbe identified whether the crowbar protection is activatedThen the threshold is revised based on the influence of thechain topology of the WPP The revised terminal voltagedip threshold can be utilized to judge whether the crowbaris conducting Furthermore the equivalent WPP is estab-lished based on the division principle of crowbar conduc-tion Finally the proposed equivalent WPP is simulatedby the DIgSILENT PowerFactory platform and the resultsare compared with those of traditional equivalent WPPsand the detailed WPP The simulation results validate theeffectiveness of the equivalent method for modeling DFIG-based WPP

fixed the terminal voltage dip is the function of only thepower outputs and the steady-state terminal voltage As aresult the terminal voltage dip threshold can be quantifiedwhen the crowbar protection is just activated Crowbarconduction occurs if the terminal voltage dip is lower thanthe terminal voltage drop threshold Otherwise the crowbarprotection is not activated

We select 01MW as the power step length within thescope of the DFIG rated power and 001 pu as the voltage steplength within the amplitude scope of steady-state terminalvoltage 097ndash107 pu [22] The terminal voltage dip changesthrough regulating the external short-circuit impedance andthen finding out the terminal voltage dip threshold whichmakes the rotor current equal to the maximum rotor currentfor crowbar protection insertion The terminal voltage dipthresholds of the DFIG whose power factor is minus095 1and 095 respectively are presented in Figure 3 The DFIGparameters are specified in Table 1

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

As can be seen from Table 3 when 119885

119891= 11989555Ω and

119885

119891= 1198957Ω based on the terminal voltage dip threshold

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

terminal voltage dip threshold after revision the numbersof wrong judgments of crowbar conduction are reduced totwo and zero respectively The accuracy of the judgment ofcrowbar protection conduction can be significantly improvedby using the terminal voltage dip threshold after revision

built by this paper is more similar to the detailedWPP due toits higher equivalent accuracy for crowbar conduction

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

432 Different Power Factors among WPP Feeders Theincoming wind of the WPP is 105ms 05∘ Based on wake

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

Figure 4 Daisy-chain physical diagram of the WPP

clustering index considering the influence of fault types oncoherency is depicted in [15]

Compared with conventional power resources windresources are stochastic and fluctuating Equivalent modelsof an actual WPP might change due to different operatingconditions Therefore the actual application should be basedon historical data for the specific WPP and establish aprobabilistic equivalent WPP [13 16 17] This makes theequivalent WPP very practical and easy to use

On the basis of previous equivalentmethods the researchhot-spot has gradually shifted to the validation and anal-ysis of equivalent WPPs using field measurement dataThe primary focus of reference [17] is to explain that themultiple-machine representation should take the diversityin protection conduction into account by investigating thediscrepancies between the simulation results and the actualmeasurement Perdana et al [18] and Singh et al [19] exploremethods for validating the equivalent WPPs for SCIG-basedand DFIG-based WPP respectively Meanwhile reference[20] supports the fact that traditional clustering indicesfail to cluster wind turbines when crowbar protection isenabled Therefore it is necessary to develop an equivalentmethod for modeling WPPs considering system protec-tion

This paper proposes a new equivalent method for mod-eling WPPs when the crowbar protection is taken intoaccount Based on the rotor current of the DFIG afteran external three-phase short-circuit fault the terminalvoltage dip threshold is determined and from this it canbe identified whether the crowbar protection is activatedThen the threshold is revised based on the influence of thechain topology of the WPP The revised terminal voltagedip threshold can be utilized to judge whether the crowbaris conducting Furthermore the equivalent WPP is estab-lished based on the division principle of crowbar conduc-tion Finally the proposed equivalent WPP is simulatedby the DIgSILENT PowerFactory platform and the resultsare compared with those of traditional equivalent WPPsand the detailed WPP The simulation results validate theeffectiveness of the equivalent method for modeling DFIG-based WPP

fixed the terminal voltage dip is the function of only thepower outputs and the steady-state terminal voltage As aresult the terminal voltage dip threshold can be quantifiedwhen the crowbar protection is just activated Crowbarconduction occurs if the terminal voltage dip is lower thanthe terminal voltage drop threshold Otherwise the crowbarprotection is not activated

We select 01MW as the power step length within thescope of the DFIG rated power and 001 pu as the voltage steplength within the amplitude scope of steady-state terminalvoltage 097ndash107 pu [22] The terminal voltage dip changesthrough regulating the external short-circuit impedance andthen finding out the terminal voltage dip threshold whichmakes the rotor current equal to the maximum rotor currentfor crowbar protection insertion The terminal voltage dipthresholds of the DFIG whose power factor is minus095 1and 095 respectively are presented in Figure 3 The DFIGparameters are specified in Table 1

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

In the infinite grid connection structure for a single DFIG119885eq-119896 is jointed into the grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus then the terminal voltage dip thresholdis redetermined by means of the method in Section 23

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

4 Simulation Results

The developed equivalent WPP is tested by comparing itstransient response with the traditional equivalent WPPs andthe detailed WPP

41 WPP Description The network of the WPP is pre-sented in Figure 5 The WPP is composed of one 35220 kVtransformer six collector systems and 069 kV DFIGs thatare connected to the collector system through 06935 kVgrounding transformers Each collector system has 11 DFIGsand the interval between twoDFIGswithin the same collectorsystem is 400m Model parameters are given in Table 1

42 Validation of Clustering Index The measured wind dataof the 66 DFIGs are listed in Table 2 All DFIGs operatewith a unity power factor Three-phase short-circuit faultsare applied at point A as shown in Figure 4 Faults startat 01 s and last for 150ms Two case studies are performedfor different short-circuit grounding impedance (1) 119885

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

As can be seen from Table 3 when 119885

119891= 11989555Ω and

119885

119891= 1198957Ω based on the terminal voltage dip threshold

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

terminal voltage dip threshold after revision the numbersof wrong judgments of crowbar conduction are reduced totwo and zero respectively The accuracy of the judgment ofcrowbar protection conduction can be significantly improvedby using the terminal voltage dip threshold after revision

built by this paper is more similar to the detailedWPP due toits higher equivalent accuracy for crowbar conduction

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

Compared with conventional power resources windresources are stochastic and fluctuating Equivalent modelsof an actual WPP might change due to different operatingconditions Therefore the actual application should be basedon historical data for the specific WPP and establish aprobabilistic equivalent WPP [13 16 17] This makes theequivalent WPP very practical and easy to use

On the basis of previous equivalentmethods the researchhot-spot has gradually shifted to the validation and anal-ysis of equivalent WPPs using field measurement dataThe primary focus of reference [17] is to explain that themultiple-machine representation should take the diversityin protection conduction into account by investigating thediscrepancies between the simulation results and the actualmeasurement Perdana et al [18] and Singh et al [19] exploremethods for validating the equivalent WPPs for SCIG-basedand DFIG-based WPP respectively Meanwhile reference[20] supports the fact that traditional clustering indicesfail to cluster wind turbines when crowbar protection isenabled Therefore it is necessary to develop an equivalentmethod for modeling WPPs considering system protec-tion

This paper proposes a new equivalent method for mod-eling WPPs when the crowbar protection is taken intoaccount Based on the rotor current of the DFIG afteran external three-phase short-circuit fault the terminalvoltage dip threshold is determined and from this it canbe identified whether the crowbar protection is activatedThen the threshold is revised based on the influence of thechain topology of the WPP The revised terminal voltagedip threshold can be utilized to judge whether the crowbaris conducting Furthermore the equivalent WPP is estab-lished based on the division principle of crowbar conduc-tion Finally the proposed equivalent WPP is simulatedby the DIgSILENT PowerFactory platform and the resultsare compared with those of traditional equivalent WPPsand the detailed WPP The simulation results validate theeffectiveness of the equivalent method for modeling DFIG-based WPP

We select 01MW as the power step length within thescope of the DFIG rated power and 001 pu as the voltage steplength within the amplitude scope of steady-state terminalvoltage 097ndash107 pu [22] The terminal voltage dip changesthrough regulating the external short-circuit impedance andthen finding out the terminal voltage dip threshold whichmakes the rotor current equal to the maximum rotor currentfor crowbar protection insertion The terminal voltage dipthresholds of the DFIG whose power factor is minus095 1and 095 respectively are presented in Figure 3 The DFIGparameters are specified in Table 1

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

In the infinite grid connection structure for a single DFIG119885eq-119896 is jointed into the grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus then the terminal voltage dip thresholdis redetermined by means of the method in Section 23

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

4 Simulation Results

The developed equivalent WPP is tested by comparing itstransient response with the traditional equivalent WPPs andthe detailed WPP

41 WPP Description The network of the WPP is pre-sented in Figure 5 The WPP is composed of one 35220 kVtransformer six collector systems and 069 kV DFIGs thatare connected to the collector system through 06935 kVgrounding transformers Each collector system has 11 DFIGsand the interval between twoDFIGswithin the same collectorsystem is 400m Model parameters are given in Table 1

42 Validation of Clustering Index The measured wind dataof the 66 DFIGs are listed in Table 2 All DFIGs operatewith a unity power factor Three-phase short-circuit faultsare applied at point A as shown in Figure 4 Faults startat 01 s and last for 150ms Two case studies are performedfor different short-circuit grounding impedance (1) 119885

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

fixed the terminal voltage dip is the function of only thepower outputs and the steady-state terminal voltage As aresult the terminal voltage dip threshold can be quantifiedwhen the crowbar protection is just activated Crowbarconduction occurs if the terminal voltage dip is lower thanthe terminal voltage drop threshold Otherwise the crowbarprotection is not activated

We select 01MW as the power step length within thescope of the DFIG rated power and 001 pu as the voltage steplength within the amplitude scope of steady-state terminalvoltage 097ndash107 pu [22] The terminal voltage dip changesthrough regulating the external short-circuit impedance andthen finding out the terminal voltage dip threshold whichmakes the rotor current equal to the maximum rotor currentfor crowbar protection insertion The terminal voltage dipthresholds of the DFIG whose power factor is minus095 1and 095 respectively are presented in Figure 3 The DFIGparameters are specified in Table 1

31 Effect of Collector Line Impedance on Terminal Voltage DipThreshold In order to reduce the power loss of a low-voltagecircuit it might be a better practice to connect multiplewind turbines to a middle-voltage bus using the daisy-chainstructure within an actual WPP and then power in-feed tothe external grid from the WPP through transmission linesIn the same feeder owing to the convergence effect of output

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

In the infinite grid connection structure for a single DFIG119885eq-119896 is jointed into the grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus then the terminal voltage dip thresholdis redetermined by means of the method in Section 23

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

4 Simulation Results

The developed equivalent WPP is tested by comparing itstransient response with the traditional equivalent WPPs andthe detailed WPP

41 WPP Description The network of the WPP is pre-sented in Figure 5 The WPP is composed of one 35220 kVtransformer six collector systems and 069 kV DFIGs thatare connected to the collector system through 06935 kVgrounding transformers Each collector system has 11 DFIGsand the interval between twoDFIGswithin the same collectorsystem is 400m Model parameters are given in Table 1

42 Validation of Clustering Index The measured wind dataof the 66 DFIGs are listed in Table 2 All DFIGs operatewith a unity power factor Three-phase short-circuit faultsare applied at point A as shown in Figure 4 Faults startat 01 s and last for 150ms Two case studies are performedfor different short-circuit grounding impedance (1) 119885

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

fixed the terminal voltage dip is the function of only thepower outputs and the steady-state terminal voltage As aresult the terminal voltage dip threshold can be quantifiedwhen the crowbar protection is just activated Crowbarconduction occurs if the terminal voltage dip is lower thanthe terminal voltage drop threshold Otherwise the crowbarprotection is not activated

We select 01MW as the power step length within thescope of the DFIG rated power and 001 pu as the voltage steplength within the amplitude scope of steady-state terminalvoltage 097ndash107 pu [22] The terminal voltage dip changesthrough regulating the external short-circuit impedance andthen finding out the terminal voltage dip threshold whichmakes the rotor current equal to the maximum rotor currentfor crowbar protection insertion The terminal voltage dipthresholds of the DFIG whose power factor is minus095 1and 095 respectively are presented in Figure 3 The DFIGparameters are specified in Table 1

31 Effect of Collector Line Impedance on Terminal Voltage DipThreshold In order to reduce the power loss of a low-voltagecircuit it might be a better practice to connect multiplewind turbines to a middle-voltage bus using the daisy-chainstructure within an actual WPP and then power in-feed tothe external grid from the WPP through transmission linesIn the same feeder owing to the convergence effect of output

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

4 Simulation Results

The developed equivalent WPP is tested by comparing itstransient response with the traditional equivalent WPPs andthe detailed WPP

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

As can be seen from Table 3 when 119885

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

built by this paper is more similar to the detailedWPP due toits higher equivalent accuracy for crowbar conduction

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

432 Different Power Factors among WPP Feeders Theincoming wind of the WPP is 105ms 05∘ Based on wake

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

fixed the terminal voltage dip is the function of only thepower outputs and the steady-state terminal voltage As aresult the terminal voltage dip threshold can be quantifiedwhen the crowbar protection is just activated Crowbarconduction occurs if the terminal voltage dip is lower thanthe terminal voltage drop threshold Otherwise the crowbarprotection is not activated

We select 01MW as the power step length within thescope of the DFIG rated power and 001 pu as the voltage steplength within the amplitude scope of steady-state terminalvoltage 097ndash107 pu [22] The terminal voltage dip changesthrough regulating the external short-circuit impedance andthen finding out the terminal voltage dip threshold whichmakes the rotor current equal to the maximum rotor currentfor crowbar protection insertion The terminal voltage dipthresholds of the DFIG whose power factor is minus095 1and 095 respectively are presented in Figure 3 The DFIGparameters are specified in Table 1

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

As can be seen from Table 3 when 119885

119891= 11989555Ω and

119885

119891= 1198957Ω based on the terminal voltage dip threshold

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

terminal voltage dip threshold after revision the numbersof wrong judgments of crowbar conduction are reduced totwo and zero respectively The accuracy of the judgment ofcrowbar protection conduction can be significantly improvedby using the terminal voltage dip threshold after revision

43 Transient Response The detailed WPP and the equiv-alent WPPs are modeled on the DIgSILENT PowerFactoryplatform The detailed WPP consists of the 66 DFIGscollection systems grounding transformers and a maintransformer Three-phase short-circuit faults are applied atpoint A as shown in Figure 5 Faults start at 01 s and last for150ms

built by this paper is more similar to the detailedWPP due toits higher equivalent accuracy for crowbar conduction

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

432 Different Power Factors among WPP Feeders Theincoming wind of the WPP is 105ms 05∘ Based on wake

effects the incomingwinds of eachDFIG are listed in Table 2The power factors of the DFIGs in feeders 1-2 3-4 and5-6 are minus095 1 and 095 respectively Three-phase short-circuit faults are applied at point A as shown in Figure 5Faults start at 01 s and last for 150ms Figure 8 shows thebehavior of the active and reactive powers at the completecollector system for the equivalent WPPs and the detailedWPP following the application of a three-phase short-circuitfault The crowbar condition of the detailed WPP is listedin Table 6 The equivalent accuracy of the equivalent WPPscompared to the detailed WPP about the crowbar protectionconduction and error indices are listed in Table 7

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

In the infinite grid connection structure for a single DFIG119885eq-119896 is jointed into the grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus then the terminal voltage dip thresholdis redetermined by means of the method in Section 23

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

4 Simulation Results

The developed equivalent WPP is tested by comparing itstransient response with the traditional equivalent WPPs andthe detailed WPP

41 WPP Description The network of the WPP is pre-sented in Figure 5 The WPP is composed of one 35220 kVtransformer six collector systems and 069 kV DFIGs thatare connected to the collector system through 06935 kVgrounding transformers Each collector system has 11 DFIGsand the interval between twoDFIGswithin the same collectorsystem is 400m Model parameters are given in Table 1

42 Validation of Clustering Index The measured wind dataof the 66 DFIGs are listed in Table 2 All DFIGs operatewith a unity power factor Three-phase short-circuit faultsare applied at point A as shown in Figure 4 Faults startat 01 s and last for 150ms Two case studies are performedfor different short-circuit grounding impedance (1) 119885

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

current from other wind turbines the voltage delta betweena wind turbine and the middle-voltage bus has increasedsignificantly which is equivalent to increasing the electricaldistance of the wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus

Within the WPP the differences in terminal voltagesamong the wind turbines are mainly caused by the differentelectrical distances from each wind turbine to the middle-voltage bus Compared with the infinite grid connectionstructure for a single DFIG in theWPP topology the increas-ing effect of electrical distance between the wind turbine andthemiddle-voltage busmeans the line impedancemust not beignored At this time the line impedance is jointed betweenthe grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus Basedon (6) if the impedance is incorporated into the generatorstator side the change in generator impedance parameterswill have an impact on the rotor time constant which willaffect the relationship between the terminal voltage dip androtor current Therefore the terminal voltage dip thresholdsshould be revised

32 Terminal Voltage Dip Threshold Revision In the samefeeder owing to the convergence of output currents amongthe wind turbines the voltage drop has increased Inthis paper the virtual line impedance is introduced tocharacterize the equivalent electrical distance in the daisy-chain topological structure of the WPP

In the infinite grid connection structure for a single DFIG119885eq-119896 is jointed into the grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus then the terminal voltage dip thresholdis redetermined by means of the method in Section 23

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

4 Simulation Results

The developed equivalent WPP is tested by comparing itstransient response with the traditional equivalent WPPs andthe detailed WPP

41 WPP Description The network of the WPP is pre-sented in Figure 5 The WPP is composed of one 35220 kVtransformer six collector systems and 069 kV DFIGs thatare connected to the collector system through 06935 kVgrounding transformers Each collector system has 11 DFIGsand the interval between twoDFIGswithin the same collectorsystem is 400m Model parameters are given in Table 1

42 Validation of Clustering Index The measured wind dataof the 66 DFIGs are listed in Table 2 All DFIGs operatewith a unity power factor Three-phase short-circuit faultsare applied at point A as shown in Figure 4 Faults startat 01 s and last for 150ms Two case studies are performedfor different short-circuit grounding impedance (1) 119885

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

As can be seen from Table 3 when 119885

119891= 11989555Ω and

119885

119891= 1198957Ω based on the terminal voltage dip threshold

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

terminal voltage dip threshold after revision the numbersof wrong judgments of crowbar conduction are reduced totwo and zero respectively The accuracy of the judgment ofcrowbar protection conduction can be significantly improvedby using the terminal voltage dip threshold after revision

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

In the infinite grid connection structure for a single DFIG119885eq-119896 is jointed into the grounding transformer and themiddle-voltage bus then the terminal voltage dip thresholdis redetermined by means of the method in Section 23

33 Clustering Principle of DFIGs Based on the coherency-based method in the power system dynamic equivalencecrowbar conduction is selected as the clustering principle

for example DFIGs are divided into two groups (1) crowbarconduction during the fault (2) crowbar nonconductionduring the fault Depending on the abovementioned analysiswhether the crowbar protection is activated or not can bejudged by comparing the postfault terminal voltage dip of theDFIG with its terminal voltage dip threshold

4 Simulation Results

The developed equivalent WPP is tested by comparing itstransient response with the traditional equivalent WPPs andthe detailed WPP

41 WPP Description The network of the WPP is pre-sented in Figure 5 The WPP is composed of one 35220 kVtransformer six collector systems and 069 kV DFIGs thatare connected to the collector system through 06935 kVgrounding transformers Each collector system has 11 DFIGsand the interval between twoDFIGswithin the same collectorsystem is 400m Model parameters are given in Table 1

42 Validation of Clustering Index The measured wind dataof the 66 DFIGs are listed in Table 2 All DFIGs operatewith a unity power factor Three-phase short-circuit faultsare applied at point A as shown in Figure 4 Faults startat 01 s and last for 150ms Two case studies are performedfor different short-circuit grounding impedance (1) 119885

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

As can be seen from Table 3 when 119885

119891= 11989555Ω and

119885

119891= 1198957Ω based on the terminal voltage dip threshold

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

terminal voltage dip threshold after revision the numbersof wrong judgments of crowbar conduction are reduced totwo and zero respectively The accuracy of the judgment ofcrowbar protection conduction can be significantly improvedby using the terminal voltage dip threshold after revision

built by this paper is more similar to the detailedWPP due toits higher equivalent accuracy for crowbar conduction

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

432 Different Power Factors among WPP Feeders Theincoming wind of the WPP is 105ms 05∘ Based on wake

effects the incomingwinds of eachDFIG are listed in Table 2The power factors of the DFIGs in feeders 1-2 3-4 and5-6 are minus095 1 and 095 respectively Three-phase short-circuit faults are applied at point A as shown in Figure 5Faults start at 01 s and last for 150ms Figure 8 shows thebehavior of the active and reactive powers at the completecollector system for the equivalent WPPs and the detailedWPP following the application of a three-phase short-circuitfault The crowbar condition of the detailed WPP is listedin Table 6 The equivalent accuracy of the equivalent WPPscompared to the detailed WPP about the crowbar protectionconduction and error indices are listed in Table 7

When the DFIGs operate with different power factorswithin theWPP the traditional equivalentmethodwill dividethe DFIGs which have the same reactive-power level intogroups But the simulation results of the detailed WPP

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

As can be seen from Table 3 when 119885

119891= 1198957Ω based on the terminal voltage dip threshold

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

terminal voltage dip threshold after revision the numbersof wrong judgments of crowbar conduction are reduced totwo and zero respectively The accuracy of the judgment ofcrowbar protection conduction can be significantly improvedby using the terminal voltage dip threshold after revision

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

bus decreases to 537 and 557 of its nominal value Thepostfault terminal voltage of the DFIG is compared withits terminal voltage dip threshold before revision and afterrevision respectively thus judging the DFIG whose crowbarprotection is activated Then based on the simulation resultsof the detailed WPP the correctness of the abovementionedjudgment is tested and the statistical results are listed inTable 3

119891= 1198957Ω based on the terminal voltage dip threshold

before revision the numbers of wrong judgments of crowbarconduction are eight and seven respectively based on the

terminal voltage dip threshold after revision the numbersof wrong judgments of crowbar conduction are reduced totwo and zero respectively The accuracy of the judgment ofcrowbar protection conduction can be significantly improvedby using the terminal voltage dip threshold after revision

built by this paper is more similar to the detailedWPP due toits higher equivalent accuracy for crowbar conduction

The crowbar conditions of the detailed WPPs are listedin Table 6 It should be noted that the DFIG might lose itscapability to control the generator after crowbar conductionthus a DFIG whose generator speed is lower than thesynchronous speed operates in the motor state From faultelimination to crowbar protection resection with the gridvoltage recovery a DFIG operating in the motor state willconsume more active power causing the active power at thecomplete collector system for theWPP to appear with a largernegative value The equivalent WPP built by this paper canalso accurately reflect this situation

432 Different Power Factors among WPP Feeders Theincoming wind of the WPP is 105ms 05∘ Based on wake

effects the incomingwinds of eachDFIG are listed in Table 2The power factors of the DFIGs in feeders 1-2 3-4 and5-6 are minus095 1 and 095 respectively Three-phase short-circuit faults are applied at point A as shown in Figure 5Faults start at 01 s and last for 150ms Figure 8 shows thebehavior of the active and reactive powers at the completecollector system for the equivalent WPPs and the detailedWPP following the application of a three-phase short-circuitfault The crowbar condition of the detailed WPP is listedin Table 6 The equivalent accuracy of the equivalent WPPscompared to the detailed WPP about the crowbar protectionconduction and error indices are listed in Table 7

When the DFIGs operate with different power factorswithin theWPP the traditional equivalentmethodwill dividethe DFIGs which have the same reactive-power level intogroups But the simulation results of the detailed WPP

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP

Figure 8119880 119875 and119876 of theWPPsThe four equivalentWPPs built based on crowbar conduction incoming wind speed vector of generatorand reactive-power level are in red dash blue dot magenta dash dot and green dash dot respectively and the detailedWPP is in black solid

indicate that the crowbar conduction of DFIGs with the samepower factor is not completely consistent

5 Conclusions

After the fault the crowbar conduction of the DFIG is relatedto the depth of the terminal voltage dipThis paper simplifiesthe judgment criterion of crowbar conduction as the terminalvoltage dip threshold which is convenient to calculate andmakes it easy to identify the crowbar conduction

Considering the influence of the connection lineimpedance within the same collector system on theterminal voltage dip threshold the virtual line impedance isintroduced to characterize the equivalent electrical distancefrom the DFIG to the medium-voltage bus The equivalentaccuracy of crowbar conduction discrimination is improvedby revising the terminal voltage dip threshold

The equivalent WPP established based on the divisionprinciple of crowbar conduction is verified showing that itcan more accurately reflect the external characteristics of theWPP
