Wind Generator Modelling for Fault Level Studies


- Existing Approaches

Thevenin equivalent, likewise synchronous machines (Equivalent


synchronous generator model, definition of x and x)
Can be integrated into standard short circuit analysis tools.
Accurate representation for faults close to WTG.
Very low accuracy for estimating remote contribution.

Short circuit analysis using time domain simulation and dynamic


models.
Complex model setup required.
Relatively long calculation times (e.g. calculation of fault levels at all bus
bars and terminals).
Dynamic models not necessarily made for fault level studies. Accuracy for
predicting subtransient time scales sometimes very poor.

1st Wind Integration Symposium, Frankfurt, 2011

Wind Generator Modelling for Fault Level Studies


- Proposed Approach Requirement: Simple and fast approach but sufficiently accurate for
remote contribution

Subtransient time scale (relevant for Ik and ip):


Linear model representation (classical representation)
Parameters: x (or Ik in case of solid fault)

Transient time scale (relevant for Ib and ib)


Nonlinear model representation modelling steady state response to grid
faults (reactive current contribution).
Parameters: K-factor, maximum current.

B or C (users choice) for decaying DC-component (at Tb)

Calculation of Ith using m and n factors according to IEC60909. The


heating factor of the AC-component uses Ik instead of Ik.

Discussion
Proposed method is easy to use and fast.

Simple current iteration method can be applied for calculating transient


fault currents.
No additional factorisation of the Y-matrix required
Converges well, typically within 5 to 10 iterations -> around 5-10 times
more time required as for a conventional IEC-type short circuit calculation

Additional model parameters are limited to K and Imax

Additional simplification:
Using du=|du|=|ushc-uldf | instead of du=|ushc|-|uldf | provides conservative
estimate of max. fault current contribution if short circuits shall be
calculated without preceding load flow.

Modelling of Wind Generation for Fault Level Studies Summary

International short circuit standards, like IEC60909 or ANSI C37 dont


provide any guidelines for the modelling of wind generation.

Unlike conventional synchronous or asynchronous machines,


converter driven generators have a controlled response within the time
scales that are relevant for fault level studies.

The proposed method combines elements of IEC60909 and G74 with


an iterative approach.

WTG model definition only requires two additional parameters, K and


imax for modelling the reactive current response of WTGs.

The proposed iterative method is based on a fast current iteration,


which typically requires 5 to 10 iterations (and no re-factorisation of
matrices during iteration)

The proposed method is available in the new version of DIgSILENT


PowerFactory (V14.1).
