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...

In this paper, based on the similarity, in structure and principle, between a grid-connected converter for a direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) and an active power filter (APF), a new D-PMSG-based wind turbine (WT) system configuration that includes not only an auxiliary converter in parallel with the grid-side converter, but also a coordinated control strategy, is pr...

A doubly-fed induction generator’s (DFIG’s) sensitivity to external faults has motivated researchers to investigate the impact of various grid disturbances, such as voltage sags and short circuit faults, on its low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability. However, no attention has been paid to the impact of internal faults in voltage source converters (VSCs), that interface a DFIG with the grid,...

The paper presents a current controlled High Frequency AC (HFAC) link based on Matrix Converter (MC) to interface a photovoltaic (PV) system with the grid. The proposed switching scheme for the MC is based on the hysteresis current control and the sign of the input voltage waveform. A strategy for controlling the HFAC link converter to extract the maximum power by regulating the terminal voltag...

With the increasing penetration of wind power, large-scale integrated turbine brings stability and security risks to power grid. For aggregated modeling large farms, it is crucial consider low voltage ride-through (LVRT) characteristics. However, in aggregation methods, approximate neglect behavior essential, which leads inevitable errors process. Moreover, lack parameters practice new challeng...

Low voltage ride through (LVRT) is a solution to increase the tolerance of distributed energy resources (DERs) against sags. However, possibility DERs trip according present grid codes exists. Such trips do not have substantial local effect but are essential for transmission systems with connected DER-penetrated distribution networks (DPDNs). This paper investigates an analytical framework see ...

Wind power generation is increasing rapidly in India and wind integration with the grid is considered as a promising source of energy, Double Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) being the most commonly used wind turbine generator, when integrated with the grid show challenges during grid faults. This paper focuses on the challenges faced by DFIG during the occurrence of voltage sags and the Low Volt...

The doubly fed induction generator based wind turbine (DFIG-WT) has strong nonlinearities originated from the aerodynamics of the wind turbine and the coupled dynamic of the DFIG, and can operate under a time-varying and wide operation region. This paper investigates a feedback linearisation controller based on the detailed model of the DFIG-WT, the control objective is to maximize energy conve...

The grid codes now require doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines having the “low voltage ride-through (LVRT)” capability. However, a traditional DFIG with a partially rated back-to-back converter has inherent difficulties to ride through the grid faults, especially for the unbalanced grid faults. Modifications to the traditional DFIG configuration for ride-through have become nece...
