Measurements on and modelling of capacitor-connecting transients on a low-voltage grid equipped with two wind turbines
Paper in proceeding, 1995

Capacitor connecting transients on a low-voltage grid equipped with two wind turbines are measured and calculated. As the phase-compensating capacitors of the wind turbines are connected, a large current peak, sometimes reaching twice the rated current, occurs. The damping of the transients is strongly influenced by skin and proximity effects.
