Grid codes in many countries require low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability to maintain power system stability and reliability during grid fault conditions. To meet the LVRT requirement, wind power systems must stay connected to the grid and also supply reactive currents to the grid to support the recovery from fault voltages. This paper presents a new fault detection method and inverter co...

This paper presents a low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) control strategy for grid-connected energy storage systems (ESSs). In the past, researchers have investigated the LVRT control strategies to apply them to wind power generation (WPG) and solar energy generation (SEG) systems. Regardless of the energy source, the main purpose of the LVRT control strategies is to inject reactive power into the...

Wind energy is the fastest growing renewable energy source. Double Fed Induction Generator, which is predominantly used nowadays in wind turbines, is very sensitive to grid disturbances and can damage the power electronic converters due to over voltage and over current. Therefore, protection elements which disconnect the machine during fault are very essential. But, in such cases, the reliabili...

This paper presents a comprehensive review of various techniques employed to enhance the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of the fixed-speed induction generators (FSIGs)-based wind turbines (WTs), which has a non-negligible 20% contribution of the existing wind energy in the world. As the FSIG-based WT system is directly connected to the grid with no power electronic interfaces, termi...

The single-phase transformerless grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems, mainly the low-power single-phase systems, require high efficiency, small size, lightweight, and low-cost grid-connected inverters. However, problems such as leakage current, the DC current injection and safety issues are incorporated with transformerless grid-connected PV inverters. Besides, the new standards such as Lo...

From a theoretical perspective, this paper develops a systematic approach to analyze the transient characteristics of the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) in three-phase grid-connected converter with LCL filter by using the nonlinear modal series method. Firstly, the mathematical model and the corresponding second order modal series model of the system are described. And then, the simulation res...

This paper studies a control strategy to improve low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine (WT). This solution is based on the DFIG with Crowbar circuit control and the installation of STATCOM which is connected at the point of common coupling (PCC). The simulation model of WTs with STATCOM is built using the environment MATLAB/Simuli...

Due to the increasing number of wind power plants, several countries have modified their grid codes to include specific requirements for the connection of this technology to the power system. One of the requirements is the ride-through fault capability (RTFC), i.e., the system capability to sustain operation during voltage sags. In this sense, the present paper intends to investigate the behavi...

The LVRT (Low Voltage Ride Through) is the main characteristic of every power system in faulty conditions. When fault occurs, it is essential for power system such as microgrid to control the voltage and frequency normally. Naturally in fault status, the unbalanced voltage and current are inevitable, but with the aid of LVRT technique, microgrid can keep stability in main system parameters such...
