Improving the Performance of PMSG Wind Turbines During Grid Fault Considering Different Strategies of Fault Current Limiters

The wind energy conversion technology of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) is very promising in renewable power generation. However, the performance grid-connected PMSGs greatly affected by grid disturbances because their stator windings are interfaced with directly. There different Fault Current Limiter (FCL) topologies that capable improving Ride Through (FRT) capability PMSG turbines during short circuit faults. This study investigates three types FCLs connected to side turbine: Series Dynamic Braking Resistor (SDBR), traditional Bridge (BFCL), and Capacitive (CBFCL). Complete modeling was derived order understand behaviors accurately normal conditions fault periods. turbine analyzed compared using severe three-phase ground at terminal Power System Computer Design Electromagnetic Transient Including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC) platform. same operation were used investigating various FCL strategies considered this for effective comparison.
