The crowbar protection is commonly used for wind turbines with a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) to enhance the low-voltage ride-through capability of the wind turbines. Thus, the fault-current characteristics of DFIG with the crowbar protection under symmetricand asymmetric-fault states are studied in this paper. Firstly, a DFIG dynamic model in the stator stationary reference frame is d...

The power generation with non-renewable energy sources has very harmful effects on the environment as well as these sources are depleting. On the other side the renewable energy sources are quite unpredictable source of power. The best trade-off is to use the combination of both kind of sources to make a hybrid system so that their individual power generation constraints can be overcome. The hy...

This paper presents Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller design of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Essential feature of proposed controller is that it is used to trace the maximum power when wind speed is lower than the rated wind speed. Doubly-Fed Induction Generator DFIG has stator terminals are connected directly to the grid. However, the rotor t...

This paper focuses on the small-signal stability of power system integrated with DFIG-based wind farm. The model of DFIG for small-signal stability analysis has built; the 3-generator 9-bus WECC test system is modified to investigate the impacts of large scale integration of wind power on power system small-signal stability. Different oscillatory modes are obtained with their eigenvalue, freque...

Due to increasing demand on electrical energy in Iraq and to have clean energy that is environmental friendly, wind energy would be one of the most important and promising sources of renewable energy to achieve this goal. This paper discussed the reasons to use the Doubly-Feed Induction Generator (DFIG) amongst the available types of wind turbine generators, and in section (4) illustrate Motiva...

In this paper steady state characteristic of a variable speed Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is investigated. Torque and speed is used as design parameters for DFIG. From mathematical model it is found that on increase of rotor injection voltage and resistance, the torque speed response is shifted from over synchronous to sub synchronous range. The stability of DFIG operation is entirely...

Wind is one of the most widely used nonconventional sources of energy. A back-to-back PWM converter is used as the excitation power supply for the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind power generation of variable speed constant frequency (VSCF).The Simulink model and control strategy of converter which is connected between rotor and grid is analyzed. Stator-flux oriented vector control ap...

In a wind power generator using doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), the three-phase pulse width modulation (PWM) voltage source converter (VSC) is used as grid side converter (GSC) and rotor side converter (RSC). The standard linear control laws proposed for GSC provides not only instablity against comparatively large-signal disturbances, but also the problem of stability due to uncertainty ...

Using the FACTS controllers, such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), as it provides continuous reactive power, in the grid including wind turbine (WT) equipped with doubly fed induction generator, for improving voltage profile (under normal circumstances) and providing a transition ability from inductor generator transition state has been proposed. In this paper, in order to contr...
