Doubly-Fed Induction Generator Wind Turbine Model for Fault Ride-Through Investigation

Abstract

The paper presents an investigation into the behavior of a grid-connected, wind turbine driven Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) during Grid faults which are represented by a voltage dip on all three phases of the voltage supply. Stator-voltage- oriented vector control is used to decouple the active and reactive power generated by the machine. The dynamic DFIG model is used to simulate the behaviour of the wind turbine generator during both normal and fault conditions. Simulation and experiment results are shown in a very good agreement. Further the model can be used to investigate Fault ride-through performance of the DFIG.
