Introduction to Wind Power Plants and FACTS Devices’ Influence on the Performance of Distance Relays

Abstract The continuous growth in power demand in the electric power system allowed the development of various power electronics-based schemes for com- pensation and optimization of transmission systems. The converter-based systems like wind power plants (doubly fed induction generator or DFIG scheme), flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) devices such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), unified […]
