In this paper, the operating mode of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine is studied in order to evaluate its fault ride-through and transient stability with a grid’s short circuit fault at near the wind power plant. Based on the structure of DFIG, external resistors are directly connected to rotor windings, then the generator operates as a wound rotor induction generator (WRIG) when there is a short circuit fault on the grid. According to the simulation results in Matlab, the active power is consumed on the crowbar resistor, causing the active power characteristic of generator is changed from high to low. As a result, the amount of excess mechanical energy is not much, so the generator be not accelerated significantly. These simulation results show that it is appropriate to use the crowbar resistor to change the power characteristic of the DFIG. Thanks to this change, the generator is still connected to the grid, stable operation both during and after a short circuit.

Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is now becoming one of most widely used wind turbines in global market for wind power generation, due to its outstanding advantages. However, the DFIG is sensitive to grid faults. The DFIG will have to be removed from the grid if there’s no protection appliance in it. Therefore, the crowbar protection is widely used in the world for improving the low voltage ride-through ability of wind turbines. This paper analysed the operating characteristics and short-circuit current of DFIG under symmetrical short-circuit fault with respect to different sags to grid voltage, which on the basis of DFIG wind turbine with crowbar protection. And the expressions of short-circuit current under symmetrical short-circuit fault for DFIG were derived. The effectiveness of the expression was simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC.

This paper describes a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbine model suitable for the simulation of this generator in the mode faulty mode. The dynamic model of a DFIG with stator inter-turn short circuit fault is proposed. A model (abc) is developed, which can represent both the healthy and faulty conditions. The DFIG is directly connected to the grid whereas the rotor winding is fed by back-to-back PWM converters .the Control schemes for active and reactive power regulation are designed firstly. Under different wind speed, maximum power point tracing (MPPT) control is implemented to ensure the optimum active power output. The numerical simulation developed in Matlab/Simulink studies the effects of stator inter-turn short-circuit in the DFIG. Afterward, the application of Approach technique of Adaptive Obs
