The protection of wind electric plants can be unique and challenging due to the following: Wind power plants are typically composed of numerous relatively small wind turbine generators
4 FAQs about Wind turbine generator protection
How to protect a wind turbine from lightning?
In order to plan protection measures, it is advisable to subdi-vide the wind turbine into lightning protection zones (LPZs). The lightning protection system of a wind turbine protects two sub-systems which can only be found in wind turbines, namely the rotor blades and the mechanical drive train.
Do wind power plants have relay protection and coordination practices?
This report was intended to provide guidance to the protection engineer on present relay protection and coordination practices at wind power plants. Wind power plants are typically composed of numerous relatively small wind turbine generators (WTG) distributed geographically over a wide area.
What are the standards for wind turbine protection?
The IEC 61400-24 (EN 61400-24) standard, the IEC 62305 (EN 62305) standard series and the guidelines by Germanischer Lloyd (e.g. GL 2010 IV – Part 1: Guideline for the certification of wind turbines) form the basis for the protection concept.
What is a wind power plant?
Wind power plants are typically composed of numerous relatively small wind turbine generators (WTG) distributed geographically over a wide area. The WTGs predominantly in service have some degree of inverter interface affecting the fault current levels and characteristics.
