Engineering Graduation Project in HV/MV Protection Department, Renewables Division, Copenhagen

Are you approaching the end of your studies and looking for a graduation project early 2027. Does deep dive into the protection of the primary equipment enabling transport of wind energy to shore excite you? Then we have the project for you.

The projects 
Protection study

Today we apply state of the art, cutting edge protections of the primary equipment, 220/66kV transformers, shunt reactors, subsea cables etc. Functions like line differential protection, restricted earth fault protection, distance protection with fiber optic accelerations schemes and different mechanical protections. 

But how well do the different protections cover the primary equipment? 

Are all protections feasible, considering how often we statistically experience faults?

Grounding

Today the MV grid, connecting the wind turbines to the Offshore Sub Station is impedance grounded. This creates different problems and side effects that needs to be considered during engineering. Some primary equipment becomes expensive and hard to procure. Protection against earth faults becomes challenging because of the reduced fault current. 

Investigate the benefits and disadvantages of isolated, impedance and effectively grounded MV grid. 

How will the protections need to be set up?

What will the implications be on primary equipment, transformers, cables, wind turbines etc.
