  • Abstract
    Condition monitoring of Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) is growing in importance for wind turbines. This paper investigates the effect of VFC (Variable Frequency Converter) and STATCOM Faults on wind turbine equipped with DFIG operation in order to condition monitoring of wind turbine. Consequently, a proposed method is used to detecting these faults means of harmonic components analyzing of DFIG rotor current. The simulation has been done with PSCAD/EMTDC software.
