SIMULATION RESULTS FO
OR OCRS COORDINATION IN A
WIND PLANT
Matlab/Simulink as a pow
werful software has been used
to model the wind plant, relays, set the relay settings and
coordinate them well with each other. A typical wind
power plant has been modellled in this paper and based on
the load flow, OCRs usinng IEC standard has been
designed, set and coordinatedd.
m be properly
In power systems, all of these OCRs must
coordinated with each other in order to prrotect the power
elements from the currents. To do so, the vital settings of
OCRs, which are the Plug Setting Multipplier (PSM) and
the Time Setting Multiplier (TSM), must be set suitably.
% and in steps of
PSM is varied in the range of 50% to 200%
25% [7]. This setting is only used for inverrse current relays
which detect phase to phase fault. For the relays
r
that detect
phase to ground fault, the PSM is quitee different. It is
varied in in the range of 10% to 40% in steeps of 10%, or in
the range of 20% to 80% in steps of 20%
%. The point that
should be taken into consideration is thatt the more Plug
Setting (PS) the relay has, the higher cuurrent the relay
requires to trip. TSM ranges from 0 to 1 in steps of 0.1.
However, sometimes it varies in stepss of 0.05. The
maximum TSM is 1 and the minimum is 0.05.

In order to
coordinate OCRs with each other, there iss a time interval
between a primary relay and a backup relaay operation and
this is called the Coordination Time Interrval (CTI). This
time interval is in the range of 0.3 and 0.5 seconds for
r
it is set at
conventional relays, while for numerical relays
0.2 seconds, which means they operate fasster compared to
conventional relays [8]. So in order to cooordinate relays
