C17 - Fault Current Contribution from Wind Plants

Assignment: To support the activities of the Joint Working Group on Fault Current Contributions from Wind Plants in the production of a report that characterizes and quantifies the short circuit current contributions to faults from wind plants for the purposes of determining protective relay settings and fault interrupting equipment ratings. The report will provide guidelines on the modeling and calculations for that purpose.

Output: Report
