Abstract
This paper proposes a novel transient reconfiguration solution and coordinating control strategy for power converters to enhance the fault ride through and transient voltage support capabilities of a doubly-fed induction generator with an energy storage device (DFIG-ESD). During a grid fault, the connection of the grid-side converter is reconfigured such that it is connected to the rotor circuit in parallel with the rotor-side converter to provide an additional route for the rotor current, while the ESD is responsible for dc-link voltage regulation. A coordinated demagnetizing and reactive current control strategy is designed for the reconfigured DFIG during transient conditions. Specifically, the demagnetizing current is used to counteract the dc and negative-sequence stator flux components so that the transient electromotive force will be reduced. Simultaneously, the reactive current is added to meet the reactive power support requirement. The enhanced low-voltage ride through (LVRT) and transient voltage support capabilities obtained from the proposed design are demonstrated on the DFIG-ESD wind conversion system under different severe fault scenarios (asymmetrical and symmetrical fault). Additionally, The enhanced transient voltage support capability of the proposed design is further demonstrated by comparing with different control strategies.
