For the computer simulation, four kinds of main items are modeled, which are 83(MW) wind farm, 300(MW) HVDC system, thermal power plant and Jeju power grid load. To analyze the influence of the wind power generation in Jeju power grid system, two kinds of simulations are carried out. One is the steady state operation under the variable wind speed, and the other is the transient state operation when all of wind farms in Jeju island are disconnected from the Jeju power grid instantaneously due to the over rated wind speed. With the simulation results, it is useful to analyze the operating characteristics of power thermal plant, HVDC system, and wind farms on Jeju island power grid system, and the system stabilities.","PeriodicalId":429968,"journal":{"name":"2008 Power Quality and Supply Reliability Conference","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133079503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in compensated networks earth faults can cause big problems, because they do not extinguish themselves. To find the fault point is from high interest also in combination with network expansion [9]. In previous investigations the authors found that the classic algorithm of these distance protection relays principally can be used also for compensated networks, - however the accuracy of the distance calculation strongly depends on the network conditions [1],[2]. In this paper a new improved algorithm is developed. For this purpose an exact 3-phase mathematical simulation model of the investigated network is used to check the results of the improved algorithm. The simulations show, that this improved distance calculation provides very good accuracy up to earth fault transitions impedances of 1 kohm. Furtheron it is shown in the paper that the same algorithm can be used in 2-phase networks as well. With the implemented improvements the algorithm again allows earth fault transitions impedances of up to 1 kOhm. Finally, the simulation results are validated by real test data to verify the usability of this improved algorithm.","PeriodicalId":429968,"journal":{"name":"2008 Power Quality and Supply Reliability Conference","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121808559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
