نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a terminal crowbar protection technique for Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) to protect the rotor converter and enhance network stability during grid disturbances. Simulation test using MATLAB-Simulink toolbox is implemented on a 9 MW wind farm exports its power to 120 KV grid. The simulation is performed using different values of crowbar resistances. The variations of rotor current, rotor speed, DC-link voltage, active power and reactive power of the wind farm are investigated. Also, a comparison between the conventional crowbar and the proposed crowbar protection techniques is investigated.
