When the low-frequency transmission line of offshore wind power fails, the control strategy of its double-side converter affects the fault characteristics, which makes the traditional current differential protection face the risk of sensitivity decline or rejection. To solve this problem, firstly, based on parameter identification, the topological differences of the low-frequency line during the occurrence of internal and external faults are analyzed. Secondly, the capacitance model error is improved, the improved capacitance model is compared with the resistance model, and the pilot protection scheme using the comprehensive model error is constructed. Finally, the low-frequency transmission system model of offshore wind power is built in PSCAD/EMTDC to verify the protection scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can identify faults quickly and reliably, has good transition resistance, anti-noise, and anti-interference capabilities, and is less affected by converter control strategy and sampling frequency.
