“…A research group in the Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI), Japan developed a commercial software named "VSTL" (Virtual Surge Test Lab. ), which specialised in the surge analysis of electric power apparatus based on the FDTD method (Noda 2005). Only a few papers on applications to WT-LPS have been reported since the start of 2000.…”

“…A possible solution to this problem could be seen in following the paths set out in obtaining the models for the EHV and UHV transmission line towers (which include both frequency-dependence and surge attenuation), e.g., [45,47,48]. This, however, necessitates sophisticated, e.g., finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) models of complete wind turbines, compounded with the detailed experimental measurements carried-out on scale models, e.g., [47,48].…”

This paper elaborates on several important outstanding issues in the state-of-art of overvoltage protection selection for modern wind farms. The lack of experience with this still-new technology, together with the inherent complexity of wind farm electrical systems, entails several unresolved issues pertinent to the topic of overvoltage protection, particularly in relation to lightning-initiated surges. Firstly, several aspects of the wind turbine lightning incidence, along with the issues related to the selection of lightning current parameters (pertinent to the wind farm overvoltage protection), are addressed in this paper. Secondly, several issues in the state-of-art models of the wind farm electrical systems-for the lightning surge analysis-are addressed and discussed. Here, a well-known ElectroMagnetic Transients Program (EMTP) software package is often employed, with all of its benefits and some limitations. Thirdly, the metal-oxide surge arrester energy capability and the issues related to the selection of the surge arrester rated energy-in relation to the direct lightning strikes to wind turbines-is addressed. Finally, some general considerations concerning the overvoltage protection selection for wind farm projects, particularly regarding the installation of the metal-oxide surge arresters, are provided as well.
