This article describes the second part of a larger investigation of dynamic interaction between variable-speed wind turbines equipped with doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) and the power grid. A simulation model is applied for dynamic stability investigations, with the entire power grid subjected to a short-circuit fault. During the grid disturbances, the DFIG converter is found to be the most sensitive part of the wind turbine. Therefore the electrical currents are determined using the transient generator model. The converter action is crucial for wind turbine operation associated with such disturbances, especially regarding tripping or uninterrupted operation.

A model of the back-to-back converter is set up and implemented in the simulation tool PSS/E as a user-developed model. This model is applied with that of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), described in previous parts of this work [parts II and I]. The latter models variable-speed wind turbines in power stability investigations. Subjected to a short circuit fault, there will be a risk of converter blocking, followed by tripping of the wind turbine [1, 3]. The main reasons of blocking are over-current in the rotor converter and over-voltage in the dc-link. The DFIG model, with representation of the back-to-back converter, results in (a) more accurate replication of the current in the rotor converter and (b) improved computation of the dc-link voltage. These improvements are compared with the model with representation of the rotor converter only. Hence, the DFIG model with representation of the back-to-back converters might be preferred, in practical investigations of power system stability, to models with representation of the rotor converter only.

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.
