Abstract :
This report examines several design and performance factors of WTGs connected to a power grid. The interconnection configuration, collector system design, generator type and selection of protection systems are described. The topics of this report provide engineers with an understanding of the consequences of the WTG plant design on short circuit contributions and the implications on the protection systems.
