Estudo de seletividade e coordenação da proteção elétrica de aerogeradores Weg 4.2 através do software PTW32

Abstract

The increasing demand for energy consumption, coupled with the socioenvironmental impacts of non-renewable energy sources, has spurred the search for supplementary generation resources. Among these options, wind energy exploration is mentioned, involving the production of electrical energy through the conversion of kinetic energy from the wind. Due to the complexity of its application, a detailed study of the safeguards inherent to wind turbines in a given park is essential through the use of connection schemes, aiming to ensure service continuity, safety, and equipment integrity. Therefore, this work aims to study the selectivity and coordination of the electrical protection of WEG AWG 4.2 wind turbines using the PTW32 software. Given the crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of these renewable energy devices, the proper combination of protection devices and their regular maintenance are essential for efficiently detecting and isolating electrical faults, minimizing their impact on energy generation and ensuring equipment availability. The tool's use in analysis efficiency results in time and resource savings, demonstrating its documentation capabilities and enabling the application of concepts in more complex systems, expanding its utility.
