Doubly-fed induction generator wind turbines are largely developed due to their variable speed feature. The response of wind turbines to grid disturbance is an important issue, especially since the rated power of the wind turbine is increased; therefore, it is important to study the effect of grid disturbances on the wind turbine. In the chapter, the characteristics of the doubly-fed induction generator during wind speed fluctuation are studied. MATLAB/Simulink software has been used to observe the characteristics of wind turbines during wind speed fluctuation. Simulation results of the doubly-fed induction generator wind turbine system show improved system stability during wind speed variation. Power electronics converters used in the DFIG system are the most sensitive parts of the variable speed wind turbines with regards to system disturbances. To protect from excessive current, the DFIG system is equipped with an over-current and DC voltage overload protection system that trips the system under abnormal conditions.
