Abstract
Smart grid comprises utility system and Distributed renewable power Generations such as wind and solar energy. The smart grid system represents bidirectional flowing of energy and communication facilities among utility system, Distributed Generations (DG) and consumers. Smart grid including wind farm is seriously exposed to high magnitudes of nonlinearities like ferroresonance. It causes mal operation of protective relays in wind farm. This paper investigates impact of ferroresonance in utility system on operation of DFIG (Doubly-Fed Induction Generator) and Negative Sequence Directional Element (NSDE) in Wind Park by means of PSCAD/EMTDC software. As smart grid insists on a self-healing protection, an intelligent algorithm based on wavelet transform, neural network and ferroresonance analysis in time domain is proposed for NSDE to discriminate ferroresonance. The algorithm appropriately conforms to smart grid protection strategy. It discriminates ferroresonance from other nonlinear abnormalities and is able to distinguish different types of ferroresonance. To accord with smart grid requirements, the algorithm is designed to forecast occurrence of ferroresonance in the grid.
