Improved Control Strategy of Wind Turbine with DFIG for Low Voltage Ride through Capability

As the number of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)- based wind-turbine systems continues to increase, wind turbines are required to provide Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) capability, especially under the condition of grid voltage dips. This paper, depending on the operating characteristics of doubly-fed induction generator during grid faults ,deals with a protection and control strategy on rotor-side converter (RSC) to enhance the low voltage ride through capability of a wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The simulation and experiment studies demonstrate the correctness of the developed model and the effectiveness of the control strategy for DFIG-based wind-turbine systems under such adverse grid conditions.
