If you have been involved with a utility's compliance efforts associated with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) standards, you understand that documentation is everywhere. Nearly every aspect of the NERC CIP standards starts with the requirement of documenting a proc...
Wind Plant Transient Evaluation Studies
Power system apparatus, such as transformers, switchgear, and cables may be exposed to various types of transients. High-frequency transients and very steep overvoltages may cause problems for electrical equipment because they can cause local overstressing of the insulation system. Wind plant collector circuit breaker opening-and-closing operations and lightning surge events are important potential sources of thes...
