With advance in usage of wind turbine technologies, as compared with other renewable sources the cost of wind turbine becomes competitive. Due to this economic problem, other disadvantages and by considering the global warming, the utilization of wind turbine has increased since last decade. For maintain the active power at constant, the use of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators with Energy Storage System like super capacitor (or) batteries can be used, with a two layer control scheme. This paper presents a novel concept for controlling doubly fed induction generator called power transfer matrix. This power transfer matrix technique is designed based on the instantaneous values of active and reactive power of the system. In order to protect the DFIG during fault conditions a matrix converter scheme based power/current controller is presented.

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.

The necessary Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) capability is very important to wind turbines. This paper presents a method to enhance LVRT capability of doubly fed induction generators- (DFIGs-) based wind turbine systems with series superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) in the rotor side. When grid fault occurs, series SMES in the rotor side is utilized to produce a desired output voltage and absorbs energy. Compared with other methods which enhance LVRT capability with Superconducting Fault-Current Limiter-Magnetic Energy Storage System (SFCL-MESS), this strategy can control the output voltage of SMES to suppress the transient AC voltage component in the rotor directly, which is more effective and rapid. Theoretical study of the DFIG under low voltage fault is developed; the simulation results are operated by MATLAB/Simulink.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the enhancement of the Low-Voltage-Ride-Through (LVRT) capability of the wind farm with the installment of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and the Static Var Compensator (SVC). With more penetration of wind energy from on-shore and off-shore wind farms, utilities have been starting to set up the regulation requiring the wind turbine generators to remain connected to the grid when a fault takes place in the system which is referred to as Low-Voltage-Ride-Through (LVRT). A wind farm composed with doubly fed induction generators is used as the study system. Both the STATCOM and the SVC are utilized as the devices for enhancing the LVRT capability of the wind farm. The results are demonstrated for comparing the performance of the two devices in the improvement of voltage dynamic characteristics of the study system.

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.

Rotor Side Converter

Brushless doubly-fed induction generators have higher reliability, making them an attractive choice for not only offshore applications but also for remote locations. These machines are composed of two back-to-back voltage source converters: the grid side converter and the rotor side converter. The rotor side converter is typically used for reactive current control of the power winding using the control winding current. A low voltage ride through (LVRT) fault is detected using a hysterisis comparison of the power winding voltage. This approach leads to two problems, firstly, the use of only voltage to detect faults results in erroneous or slow response, and secondly, sub-optimal control of voltage drop because of static reference values for reactive current compensation. This paper solves these problems by using an analytical model of the voltage drop caused by a short circuit. Moreover, using a fuzzy logic controller, the proposed technique employs the voltage frequency in addition to the power winding voltage magnitude to detect LVRT conditions. The analytical model helps in reducing the power winding voltage drop while the fuzzy logic controller leads to better and faster detection of faults, leading to an overall faster response of the system. Simulations in Matlab/Simulink show that the proposed technique can reduce the voltage drop by up to 0.12 p.u. and result in significantly lower transients in the power winding voltage as compared to existing techniques.
