Abstract
Short-circuit calculations for wind farms are crucial for determining equipment ratings and providing basic information for protection coordination. In this paper, a practical calculation method of short-circuit currents (SCCs) is proposed for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms. The improved calculation method of the SCCs in single DFIG is developed based on electromagnetic transient analysis. Combined with the traditional method of calculating the SCCs of the power system, an equivalent model of the DFIG-based wind farm used for SCCs is studied. The equivalent model and expressions for SCCs are later validated through PSCAD/EMTDC-based simulation results, and a comparison with the national standard calculation method is analyzed. The results show that the calculation method proposed in this paper has better accuracy and practicability, which are important elements in the electrical design of DFIG-based wind farms.
