A Switch type fault current limiter in coordination with DVR is presented in this paper for Wind turbine generators that consist of doubly fed induction generators in order to full fill Low voltage ride through requirements in grid systems. The position of in-statement, the simulation and the methods for enhancement of LVRT functioning are represented. Collaborative control between the STFCL and a combination of Reactive power control and Inductance emulating control are used to enable the doubly fed induction generator to generate reactive power and ensure that the system remains safe even during faults in the grid. A different type of fault conditions are examined under both normal conditions and while the proposed system is attached.

Using power electronic converters with reduced capacity in doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines make them vulnerable to over-current during grid disturbances. This thesis aims to analyze the behaviour of doubly-fed induction generators based wind farm for various timing schemes of crowbar deactivation and resumption of rotor side converter (RSC) in the case of grid fault. Also, usage of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) for the purpose of stabilizing the grid voltage after a three-phase fault is studied in this these. Moreover, finding minimum capacity of STATCOM which ensures low-voltage ride through (LVRT) of wind farm is studied. Finally, coordination of reactive power from wind turbine generators and STATCOM in steady-state condition is performed. All the results in this thesis show that STATCOM improves low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of wind farm and assists for an uninterrupted operation of wind turbine generators during grid faults.

With its enormous environmental and monetary benefits, the wind turbine has become an acceptable alternative to the generation of electricity by fossil fuel or nuclear power plants. Research remains focused on improving the performance of wind turbines with maximum flexibility and gains. The main objective of the paper is to simulate a low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) control system that is convenient for the development of a controller that should have the ability to rectify fault signals. This paper proposes a novel method called grey wolf optimization with fuzzified error (GWFE) model to simulate the optimized control system. Further, it compares the GWFE-based LVRT system with the standard LVRT system, systems with minimum and maximum gain, and conventional methods like genetic algorithm (GA), differential evolution (DE), particle swarm optimization (PSO), ant bee colony (ABC), and grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithms. Accordingly, it analyses the simulation results regarding qualitative analysis like active power, [Formula: see text] comparison, gain, pitch degree, reactive power, rotor current, stator current, and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] measurements; and quantitative analysis like RMSE computation of [Formula: see text] with varying speed. Hence, the proposed GWFE algorithm is beneficial for simulating the LVRT system compared to other conventional methods.

The proportion of wind power in power systems is increasing year by year. Large-scale wind turbine off the grid when grid system failures. So the wind turbine needs to low voltage ride through (LVRT) function of wind turbine. Aiming at this problem, which in this article by DIgSILENT simulation software build 1.5MW doubly-fed wind turbine(DFIG) model, using active Crowbar and series grid side converter (SGSC) control strategy to realize the simulation of low voltage ride through of wind turbine. The control strategy of active Crowbar is mainly through the short circuit of rotor side converter to realize LVRT, and needs to be matched with the active and reactive power control strategy. SGSC is a novel converter structure, which mainly through compensating stator flux drop to realize LVRT. Finally this two kinds of control strategies were compared, demonstrated SGSC control strategy can achieve the low voltage ride through capabilities of the doubly-fed wind turbine.

This article deals with the vector control in dq axes of a three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic system with single-stage topology and low-voltage-ride-through capability. The photovoltaic generator is built using an array of several series-parallel Suntech PV modules and is modeled as a Lookup Table (two-dimensional; 2-D). The requirements adopted when grid voltage sags occur are based in both the IEC 61400-21 European normative and the allowed amount of reactive power to be delivered according to the Spanish grid code, which avoids the disconnection of the inverter under grid faults by a limitation in the magnitude of the three-phase output inverter currents. For this, the calculation of the positive- and negative-sequences of the grid voltages is made and a conventional three-phase Phase-Locked Loop is used for the inverter-grid synchronization, allowing the control of the active and reactive powers solely with the dq components of the inverter currents. A detailed enhanced flowchart of the control algorithm with low-voltage-ride-through capability is presented and several simulations and experiments using Matlab/SIMULINK and the Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation technique, respectively, are run for several types of one- and three-phase voltage sags in order to validate its behavior.
