Abstract:
Existing literatures show that the transient response of the wind-photovoltaic (PV)-battery hybrid system to lightning is distinct from that of a single wind farm or PV system. In the wind-PV-battery hybrid system, wind turbines are usually arranged with three topologies, namely, the chain topology, ring topology, and star topology. Different kinds of topologies will change the characteristics of the port impedance network and affect the overvoltage distribution in hybrid system. Therefore, PSCAD/EMTDC is used to build a transient model of the hybrid system with three topologies in wind farm. The overvoltage distribution of the hybrid system is calculated and then the influence of overvoltage is analyzed when different wind turbines are struck by lightning. Results show that the overvoltage of the hybrid system with the chain topology and ring topology is affected by the location of wind turbine. When the wind turbine closest to the bus is struck by lightning, the overvoltage peak of the PV and battery system is 3 times that of the other wind turbines. The suppression effect of the chain topology, ring topology and star topology on overvoltage of the hybrid system is enhanced successively. The simulation results can provide reference for lightning protection of the wind-PV-battery hybrid system.
