A Novel Differential-based Protection Scheme for Intertie Zone of Large-Scale Centralized DFIG Wind Farms

Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind farms as a reliable source of renewable energy have been increasingly integrated to power grid in the last two decades. Distance protection relay has continuously been the most common protection scheme implemented for wind farm intertie zone, however, nowad...
