A complete and effective protection system that protects wind energy systems of all kinds, but the scientific papers indicate the necessity of having a different system commensurate with the situation we want to protect and commensurate with the speed and size of the turbine [2]. All these added challenges and these challenges were clearer in wind energy systems. This study considers protection from an electrical perspective. Wind turbines are classified into large wind turbines and small wind turbines., according to the type of generator, or according to the place of installation [7].

Abstract - The urgent need for energy sources resulting

from industrial growth and progress and support for the well-being of humanity has led to an increase in the interference of wind energy with traditional energy sources. Wind energy has its own characteristics resulting from its nature. Among these characteristics is its instability at a certain limit, as it is volatile, and this adds challenges to production, communication, and protection processes. This paper looks at this from a protection point of view and presents advantages, challenges, and some solutions to overcome the obstacles. Key Words: wind turbines, protection, Protection Challenge, Short circuit fault.

2. Components of the wind power system: 2.1. Rotary blades:

1. INTRODUCTION Renewable energy technologies support the global trend towards preserving the environment and

They absorb energy from the wind and convert it into any other form of energy. 2.2. Gearbox: It is present in some systems and other systems are not used, and the speed adjustment cycle is in a ratio between the rotary vane and the generator. 2.3. Generator: It converts what it receives from mechanical energy into electrical energy.

reducing pollution resulting from energy, especially wind energy, which is among the lowest-priced energies [2], To benefit from the advantages of wind energy and maintain the sustainability of its production, producers, and researchers are interested in the issue of protection [3], [4], The interest of producers and researchers is increasing with the increasing connection of wind energy with the power system, for protection many roles, including the speed of determining the fault situation and the speed of making the right decision in terms of severity and type, and who is responsible for clearing this fault [1]. The protection system also monitors the production system © 2022, IRJET
