<span>The capability of low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) has been considered as an essence for grid code requirements. Any unbalance on the grid side causes the rotor current of the generator to rise which leads to saturate the dc-link of the back-to-back converter or even destroy it. To meet this requirement, a dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) without dc-link energy storage elements is utilized to compensate any disturbance imposed to the DFIG wind turbine system. On the time of any disturbance or fault, DFIG and DVR are properly controlled in order to compensate the specified faulty phase uninterruptedly. DVR is connected in series to the grid and by injecting instantaneous compensating voltage, prevents the stator voltage from rapid changing; consequently, the rotor side converter can accomplish its normal operation. As voltage dips are the most common grid faults subjected to DFIGs, this paper investigates both symmetrical and asymmetrical voltage dips caused by grid faults. The independent and instantaneous phase voltage compensation, less volume, weight, and cost are the merits to utilize the proposed DVR along with DFIG wind turbines. PSCAD/EMTDC based simulations verifies the capabilities of the proposed technique for the LVRT capability of DFIG.</span>

This paper proposes a method of retaining high enough voltage on the terminal of DFIG wind turbines during a fault interval on the connected grid. This method is developed by the ideal of dynamic voltage restorer equipment and was applied to a wind turbines group. The DC-link and the grid side converter of the first DFIG wind turbine in this group are utilized to support the other wind turbines. The converter is connected to a transformer, which is in series with the wind turbine group and the connected line, during an external fault. At the DC-link of the back-to-back converter of each DFIG wind turbine, a DC chopper is equipped to dissipate excessive active power during the fault interval. Moreover, the controllers of all wind turbines are modified to support all wind turbines in the group. The method is verified by MATLAB/Simulink. Simulation results implied that the proposed method can retain a high enough voltage on the terminal of DFIG while preventing overcurrent on the rotor side.

For grid-connected DFIG-based wind turbine, Fault Ride Through (FRT) or Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capability is vital problem that need to be improved. This paper proposes an Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) strategy applied to Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based Wind turbine (WT), which integrates a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR). The DVR connect in series the DFIG output terminal and the utility grid. The ADRC scheme of the new topology DFIG-based WT with integrated DVR is designed to compensate grid voltage disturbances, which in turn meet LVRT requirement and increase the level of wind power penetration. The performance of this WT-DFIG-DVR structure is investigated in different operating scenarios in order to show the skills of the designed controllers.

<p>Power distribution network in Iraq still suffers from significant problems regarding electricity distribution level. The most important problem is the disturbances that are occurring on lines voltages, which in turn, will negatively affect sensitive loads they feed on. Protection of these loads could be achieved efficiently and economically using the dynamic voltage restorer DVR when installed between the voltage source and load to inject required compensation voltage to the network during the disturbances period. The DVR mitigates these disturbances via restoring the load voltage to a pre-fault value within a few milliseconds. To control the DVR work, dq0 transformation concept and PID method with sinusoidal pulse-width modulation SPWM based converter had been used to correct the disturbances and thus enhance the power quality of the distribution network. The DVR performance was tested by MATLAB/Simulink with all kinds of expected voltage disturbances and results investigated the effectiveness of the proposed method.</p>

This article presents the performance of Distributed Generation (DG) towards Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) in mitigating voltage dips. An investigation was conducted to explore the effect of DG with the test system and the results will be analyzed during line to ground fault with DVR contains DG and without DG. The percentages of the voltage dips that occur will be compared between all the test systems. From this analysis of voltage dips percentage, the effectiveness of the DG towards DVR in mitigating voltage dips can be obtained clearly. The simulation of the test system will be done using Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) software.
