Abstract :
The various grid codes regulating the connection of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) to the transmission network present different requirements between each other, making the evaluation of fault ride-through capability of wind turbines a time consuming repetitive task. This work presents a simplified analysis based on energy conservation principle, on system empirical data and on the power companies voltage drop profile. The method enables a preliminary evaluation of the plant stability under different grid codes and points out possible design modifications that will enable compliance with the requirements.
