Calling for entries from companies and consortia interested to undertake a study to investigate fault detection and stable operation of offshore wind farms under varying grid conditions for the OWA Electrical Systems Technical Working Group (TWG-E).
This project seeks for further understanding of operating conditions and characteristics of existing and innovative protection functions under varying grid conditions. The main objectives of this work are to model a variety of grid conditions, and the performance of difference protection function and algorithms to allow a greater understanding of fault detection and stable operation of offshore wind farms.
The expected benefits of this work are to increase the stability of the protection system of an offshore wind farm under varying grid conditions to meet the requirements of grid code and other compliance issues.
