A Short-Circuit Calculation Method for DFIG-Based Wind Farms

Simulation of DFIG and FSIG wind farms in MATLAB SimPowerSystems

Short Circuit Calculation Methods

All electrical systems are susceptible to short circuits and the abnormal current levels they create. These currents can produce considerable thermal and mechanical stresses in electrical distribution equipment. Therefore, it's important to protect personnel and equipment by calculating short-circuit currents during system upgrade and design. Because these calculations are life-safety related, ...

Behavior of DFIG Wind Turbines with Crowbar Protection under Short Circuit

Doubly Fed Induction Generators DFIG are nowadays widely used in variable speed wind power plants. The dynamic interaction between variable speed DFIG wind turbines and the power system which is subjected to disturbances, such as short circuit faults, is an important issue. The ability of the wind power plant to stay connected to the grid during disturbances is important to avoid a cascading ef...

Impact of DFIG Based Offshore Wind Farms Connected Through VSC-HVDC Link on Power System Stability

With the increased levels of offshore wind power penetration into power systems, the impact of offshore wind power on stability of power systems require more investigation. In this paper, the effects of a large scale doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based offshore wind farm (OWF) on power system stability are examined. The OWF is connected to the main onshore grid through a voltage source ...

Comparative Analysis of DFIG Based Wind Farms Control Mode on Long-Term Voltage Stability

The wind energy industry is experiencing a strong growth in most countries in the last years. Several technical, economic and environmental benefits can be attained by connecting wind energy to distribution systems such as power loss reduction, the use of clean energy, postponement of system upgrades and increasing reliability. The doubly fed induction gen‐ erator (DFIG) is currently the most c...
