Possible solutions
Design for Ungrounded System Design for Ungrounded System
Increase voltage ratings
Additional engineering and equipment costs

Transfer-Trip Solution
All wind generators
connected to the faulted
feeder need to be removed
Transfer-Trip schemes can
be used for this purpose
Need communication with
the feeder breaker IED
17
Feeder breaker
may be blocked in
case of the
detection of a fault
within a WTG unit
Sensitivity/speed of
feeder-breaker can be
improved
Prevent loss of feeder for
WTG internal faults

secondary breaker
may be blocked for
fault within a feeder
