Abstract

As the penetration of wind energy increases, the intermittent nature may cause oscillations in the grid which, in consequence, degrade the excitation controllability of Doubly Fed Wind Generators (DFWGs). The rotor overcurrent of the generator under grid voltage dips can cause damage to rotor-side converter. Therefore, strong grid is needed; meanwhile, robust excitation control strategy for small voltage sag ride-through is also necessary. An improved control strategy of Low Voltage Ride- Through (LVRT) by inserting compensated terms considered the variation of magnetizing current was proposed to restrict the DFWG’s rotor overcurrent, protect the rotor side converter, and implement the LVRT. The mathematical model for the DFWG was established, and the improved control strategy was analyzed. Finally, the validity of the proposed control strategy was verified by MATLAB/Simulink.
