DFIG system control and protection during grid faults
Power converter is very sensitive to grid faults !!!• Protection system monitors DFIG signals • Crowbar protection:
external rotor impedance
Severe grid faults triggers crowbar:• RSC disabled• DFIG behaves as SCIG• GSC can be used as a STATCOM

• Increased crowbar: improved dynamic stability of the generator reduces reactive power demand
New grid codes require:• Fault ride-through capability: wind turbine has to remain connected to the grid during grid faults

Case study - simulation results
2 sets of simulations:• First set of simulations:
DFIG voltage grid support capability
• Second set of simulations: illustrates DFIG voltage grid support influence on the performance of a
nearby active stall wind farm
Simulated grid fault:• 3-phase short circuit grid fault on Line 4
• Grid fault lasts for 100ms and gets cleared by
permanent isolation
• DFIG wind farm operates at its rated capacity
at the fault instant
• On-land local wind turbines are disconneted
during grid faults, as they are not
equipped with any fault ride-through control

Remarks:
• DFIG voltage grid support control has a damping effect on the active stall wind farm, no matter whether this has or has not power reduction control (case (b) and (c))
• Worst case for the active stall wind farm (case a): DFIG wind farm has no voltage grid support control Active stall wind farm has no power reduction control
• Best case for the active stall wind farm (case b):
• DFIG wind farm is equipped with voltage grid support control
• Active stall wind farm has no power reduction control
Note that AS-WF is not subjected to torsional oscillations and there is no loss in the active power production
DFIG wind farm equipped with voltage grid support control can improve the performance
of a nearby active stall wind farm during a grid fault, without any need to implement
an additional ride-through control strategy in the active stall wind farm !!!
17
Conclusions
• DFIG controllability during grid faults is enhanced by a proper coordination design between three controllers: Damping controller - tuned to damp actively drive train torsional oscillations
excited in the drive train system during grid faults RSC voltage controller - controls grid voltage as long as RSC is not blocked by
the protection system GSC reactive power boosting controller – contributes with its maximum reactive
power capacity in case of severe grid fault
• Case study: Large DFIG wind farm - placed nearby large active stall wind farm Power transmission system generic model – delivered by Danish Transmission
System Operator Energinet.dk
• DFIG wind farm equipped with voltage grid support control participates to reestablish properly the grid voltage during grid fault can help a nearby active stall wind farm to ride-through a grid fault, without any
additional fault-ride through control setup inside the nearby active stall wind farm
