Abstract

In this paper, the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capabilities of an hybrid wind plant is studied. The hybrid wind plant considered combines fixed speed wind turbines (FSWTs) based on classical induction generator and full power converter variable speed wind turbines (VSWTs) with permanent magnet generator. However, it must be able to respect grid code requirements. A specific control of the variable speed wind turbine power converters is proposed and described in this paper to support FSWTs during voltage dips: the gride side converter is used as a STATCOM during voltage drop to provide the maximum of reactive power. Simulation results show the ability of the wind plant to ride-through a voltage dip with this control.
