Abstract

Low voltage ride through capability of DFIG wind energy conversion system had been paid much attention. The steady-state model of DFIG is discussed first, then the dynamic model is analyzed which considers transient current in stator side during voltage sags. To implement the LVRT capability of DFIG wind turbine, a method integrating rotor active crowbar and dcside damp circuit is adopted, and the specific LVRT control strategy is discussed. The experimental test is carried out on a lOkW experimental test setup, voltage sag generator is used to simulate grid voltage sag faults drop to 20% of rated voltage with different duration time, and therefore the validity of the LVRT control strategy is confirmed.
