Transient Recovery Voltage Analysis Based on Wind Farms Integration Location

This paper presents the wind farm generation effect on transient recovery voltage (TRV) values based on the location of the wind farm additionally this paper will examine the values of transient recovery voltage (TRV) above the capability of the breaker by applying the breaker transient recovery voltage capability curves within IEEE/IEC standards by determining the peak value (PV) and rate-of-rise of the transient recovery voltage waveforms (RRRV). The simulation of a grid-connected wind farm and a substation under study is performed using PSCAD. The studies show the effect of Wind farm location on TRV values, A substation breaker near the Wind farm can operate safely and the TRV values are within the breaker rating capability while as the substation breaker located far from the Wind farm has TRV values above the breakers rating capability, the breaker will also operate unsafely.
