Abstract

In this paper, the operating mode of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine is studied in order to evaluate its fault ride-through and transient stability with a grid’s short circuit fault at near the wind power plant. Based on the structure of DFIG, external resistors are directly connected to rotor windings, then the generator operates as a wound rotor induction generator (WRIG) when there is a short circuit fault on the grid. According to the simulation results in Matlab, the active power is consumed on the crowbar resistor, causing the active power characteristic of generator is changed from high to low. As a result, the amount of excess mechanical energy is not much, so the generator be not accelerated significantly. These simulation results show that it is appropriate to use the crowbar resistor to change the power characteristic of the DFIG. Thanks to this change, the generator is still connected to the grid, stable operation both during and after a short circuit.
