Dynamic response of doubly fed induction generator variable speed wind turbine under fault

摘要

The performance of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) variable speed wind turbine under network fault is studied using simulator developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Simulation results show the transient behavior of the doubly fed induction generator when a sudden short circuit at the generator bus is introduced. After the clearance of the short-circuit fault the control schemes manage to restore the wind turbine's normal operation. The controller performance is demonstrated by simulation results both during the fault and after the clearance of the fault. A crowbar is used to protect the rotor converter against short-circuit current during faults.
