Combined impact of environmental issues and policies of utilities has led to generation of clean and sustainable energy. Solar and wind energies are prominent and can provide bulk amount of electrical energy. Vast number of resources and more electrical energy density are attractive features of wind energy. Generation of bulk amount of wind energy especially offshore wind energy is attracting utilities to incline towards wind energy. Variable speed wind energy conversion systems employing Doubly fed induction generators offers several advantages such as maximum power generation and independent control of active and reactive powers. Doubly fed induction generator-based wind energy system became the first choice of power system operators due to its low-cost power electronic convertors. Stringent grid codes adopted by various countries made Low voltage ride through a serious problem for electric utilities as well as DFIG manufacturers. Many researchers tried to address the problem of low voltage ride through. In initial stages, crowbar circuits were used. Later Low voltage ride through was addressed using additional hardware such as STATCOM. Artificial intelligent controllers were used to minimize the effect of ride through. A comprehensive review, of different issues allied with low voltage ride through of doubly fed induction generator-based wind energy conversion system is presented in this article.

Electrical energy demand increases day-by-day due to economic growth, technology development and increasing world population. The wind is one of the accessible renewable energy sources to generate electrical energy to meet the increased load demand. When the wind energy conversion system (WECS) is operating as isolated mode, it is more reliable, economical and easy to electrify rural areas. When the WECS is connected to load without controller the output three-phase voltages of the inverter have more transient and steady state errors and higher total harmonic distortion in the voltages and currents. This paper discusses various voltage controllers used in WECS in detail. The proposed WECS is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink with and without adaptive voltage controller for balanced and unbalanced non-linear load conditions. In each case the results have been analyzed and total harmonic distortion is evaluated..
