Impact of Wind & Solar Generation on Negative Sequence and Power Swing Protection741

In many applications, wind generators are designed to suppress negative sequence current partially or entirely. Negative sequence current suppression control may result in the misoperation of protection schemes whose operation relies on the assumption of negative sequence quantities being present in substantial levels during unbalanced faulted conditions.

Case studies with examples of Power Swing Blocking (PSB) and Out-of-Step Tripping (OST) elements misoperation under wind generation will be presented.</p>
