Differential Protection of Transmission Transformer for Large-Scale Doubly-Fed Wind Farms Based on Detrended Analysis by Yanchun XU, Zhongyao FAN, Sihan SUN, Lu MI

“…Since the fault current output from the doubly-fed wind farm has frequency deviation characteristics and contains large harmonic components, when an internal fault occurs in the transmission transformer for the doubly-fed wind farm, the ratio of the second harmonic to the fundamental wave in the differential current of the transformer increases, which makes the differential protection of the transformer face the risk of delay action. …”
