Protection of Wind Turbine Generators Using Microcontroller-Based Applications

"Protection of Wind Turbine Generators Using Microcontroller-Based Applications" is a technical book that focuses on the application of microcontrollers for the protection of wind turbine generators. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the design and implementation of versatile digital protective relays, including overcurrent, over- and undervoltage, and negative sequence relays. The book examines the dynamic behavior of wind-driven induction generators connected to a power grid via a transmission line and analyzes the transient response of the protective devices. Additionally, it addresses the modeling of digital relays for the protection of wind turbine generators using MATLAB Simulink, taking into account aerodynamic and mechanical effects that can influence the instantaneous output voltage, current, and power. The work covers various types of AC faults and offers a detailed theoretical analysis of faults and protection strategies, as well as various algorithms for fault detection to ensure the reliability of the power system.
