Faults in medium and high voltage grids lead to voltage sags in the low voltage level. Due to the voltage dip, distributed generators disconnect from the low voltage grid. Depending on the amount of disconnected generation, system stability could be compromised. With a dynamic grid support, distributed generators remain connected to the grid during faults, also called fault ride-through. Moreov...

This paper studies the interest of the integration of battery energy storage with Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for improving the low voltage ride through capability (LVRT) of a fixed speed wind turbine connected to the grid. For this reason and by applying a grid fault, a comparison is made between integrating the SSSC, the STATCOM and the STATCOM with battery energy storage. The sy...

Enhancement of fault ride-through (FRT) capability and subsequent improvement of rotor speed stability of wind farms equipped with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is the objective of this paper. The objective is achieved by employing a novel FRT scheme with suitable control strategy. The proposed FRT scheme, which is connected between the rotor circuit and dc link capacitor in parallel wi...

Inter-Turn Short Circuit (ITSC) fault in stator winding is a common Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based Wind Turbines (WTs). Improper measures the ITSC affect safety of faulty WT and power output Farm (WF). This paper combines derating WTs optimization WF to diminish effect. At turbine level, switching strategy Fault Ride-Through (FRT) adopted ensure that safely operate under fault. far...

Traditionally, industrial countries have generated most of their electricity in large centralised facilities, such as fossil fuel (coal, gas), nuclear, large solar power plants or hydropower plants. Although these plants have excellent economies of scale, they usually transmit electricity over long distances and negatively affect the environment. More recently, a surge in the concerns over clim...
