Switching transients caused by vacuum circuit breakers in collection grids of offshore wind farms

Abstract In this study, transients that can occur in the collection grids of offshore wind farms were investigated. On the basis of the multiple prestrike and reignition model that can reflect the actual operation of a vacuum circuit breaker (VCB), a switching transient simulation model of a typical...
