Wind energy is an unpredictable and fluctuating energy source. A nearly random wind speed and blade rotational turbulence can produce fluctuations in the output power and consequently voltage of the system. The output power of wind turbines fluctuates due to wind speed variations. This fluctuating power makes the wind power undispatchable, causing frequency deviations when wind power penetration is...

This paper proposes a combined protection and control strategy to enhance the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of a wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Since the conventional crowbar is activated to protect the rotor side converter during the fault interval, the DFIG will operate in the fix speed mode and absorb large amount of reactive power from the grid. This problem...

The rotor of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is fed back from the grid via back-to-back converters. Under the disturbance, the rotor current increases to maintain the terminal voltage and the rotor rotating speed of DFIG, while the current in the grid side converter also increases to keep the DC-Link voltage constant. In this situation, the overshoots of the currents flowing through the...
