Simulated Switching Transients in the External Grid of Walney Offshore Wind Farm
This paper presents the results of several simulations to assess the highest possible line-to-line overvoltage at the terminals of wind turbine converters after the switching operation of a cable or capacitor bank in the external grid of Walney 1, one of two phases of Walney Offshore Wind Farm. These switching operations were simulated using the EMT software PSCAD/EMTDC A number of parameters were varied in order to determine the most critical transients.
Based on the results, it was concluded that the worst line-to-line transient overvoltage occurred in the DC05 and EF06 turbines, when a 25km cable is connected at 152ms and when the wind turbines are producing 100% of maximum apparent power. The magnitude of the worts transient would not reach 1.2kV.
