Summary:

An important aspect of wind power plant (WPP) impact studies is to evaluate the short-circuit (SC) current contribution of the plant into the transmission network under various fault conditions such as single, two, and three-phase faults in different network locations. This task can be challenging to protection engineers due to the topology differences between different types of wind turbine generators (WTGs) and conventional generating units. This paper presents simulation results for SC current contribution for WTGs obtained through transient simulation. The obtained waveforms are analyzed to explain the behavior, such as peak values and rate of decay, of the WTG.
