摘要

The connection of DFIG wind turbines to the grid and their dynamic behavior under different grid faults has become an important issue in recent years, and grid codes have been introduced, which is a challenge for the wind energy conversion systems (WECS). One of the most important issues related to grid codes is the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) of wind farms. Based on such code requirements, wind turbine generators must remain connected to the grid and actively contribute to the system stability during various grid fault scenarios that result in a generator terminal voltage dip. This chapter presents the two efficient LVRT schemes for a DFIG-based wind turbine including structure, principle, and simulation analysis in MATLAB/Simulink to handle symmetrical and asymmetrical faults. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of the DFIG during the faults are analyzed from multiple aspects, and a detailed comparison of schemes is presented. From the simulation results, the effectiveness and superiority of the protection scheme in terms of simplicity in construction and cost efficiency are introduced. In addition, the performance of DFIG is highly improved during the symmetrical and asymmetrical grid faults using a series resistor scheme better than crowbar and DC-chopper protection. Moreover, to validate the correctness of the proposed schemes, the simulation results are compared with those in the literature.
