Abstract

The paper presents three different approaches for the control of grid connected inverters for Permanent Magnet Wind Generators. Their performances in facing grid unbalances are compared through digital simulations. For each control scheme, three alternative Fault Ride Through (FRT) strategies are considered and tested. From simulations, it emerges that, in addition to control expedients, some hardware devices are required for satisfying FRT requirements.
