Protection Improvement of Electrical Network-Connected Wind Energy Systems: Case Studies, Strategies, and Techniques from the Egyptian Power System focuses on improving the protection of wind energy systems linked to an electrical network. It explores various protection strategies and techniques to enhance the wind energy systems' capability of withstanding low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) and reduce the total annual cost. The book addresses the advantages and disadvantages of each protection strategy, providing a comprehensive evaluation of the protection techniques employed to improve LVRT capabilities. The authors use the Al-Zafarana Wind Energy Conversion System as a case study system for simulation tests in a MATLAB/Simulink environment.
