The increase in penetration of wind farms operating with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) results in stability issues such as voltage dips and high short circuit currents in the case of faults. To overcome these issues, and to achieve reliable and sustainable power from an uncertain wind source, fault current limiters (FCL) are incorporated. This work focuses on limiting the short circuit current level and fulfilling the reactive power compensation of a DFIG wind farm using a capacitive bridge fault current limiter (CBFCL). To deliver sustainable wind power to the grid, a fuzzy-based CBFCL is designed for generating optimal reactive power to suppress the instantaneous voltage drop during the fault and in the recovery state. The performance of the proposed fuzzy-based CBFCL is presented under a fault condition to account for real-time conditions. The results show that the proposed fuzzy-based CBFCL offers a more effective solution for overcoming the low voltage ride through (LVRT) problem than a traditional controller.

From a theoretical perspective, this paper develops a systematic approach to analyze the transient characteristics of the low voltage ride through in three-phase short-circuit rotor current. Firstly, the steady state current mathematical model of the system is described. And then, the short-circuit rotor current dynamic characteristic during the low voltage fault is analyzed, the resistance value and switching strategy of crowbar are discussed. Finally, the simulation results and the theoretical analysis manifest that appropriate crowbar reactance value and switching time can improve LVRT control characteristic and grid stability.

The main purpose of this paper is to study the enhancement of the Low-Voltage-Ride-Through (LVRT) capability of the wind farm with the installment of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and the Static Var Compensator (SVC). With more penetration of wind energy from on-shore and off-shore wind farms, utilities have been starting to set up the regulation requiring the wind turbine generators to remain connected to the grid when a fault takes place in the system which is referred to as Low-Voltage-Ride-Through (LVRT). A wind farm composed with doubly fed induction generators is used as the study system. Both the STATCOM and the SVC are utilized as the devices for enhancing the LVRT capability of the wind farm. The results are demonstrated for comparing the performance of the two devices in the improvement of voltage dynamic characteristics of the study system.

Using power electronic converters with reduced capacity in doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines make them vulnerable to over-current during grid disturbances. This thesis aims to analyze the behaviour of doubly-fed induction generators based wind farm for various timing schemes of crowbar deactivation and resumption of rotor side converter (RSC) in the case of grid fault. Also, usage of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) for the purpose of stabilizing the grid voltage after a three-phase fault is studied in this these. Moreover, finding minimum capacity of STATCOM which ensures low-voltage ride through (LVRT) of wind farm is studied. Finally, coordination of reactive power from wind turbine generators and STATCOM in steady-state condition is performed. All the results in this thesis show that STATCOM improves low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of wind farm and assists for an uninterrupted operation of wind turbine generators during grid faults.

In order to build an aggregated wind farm model to research on the effect large scale wind power has on the transient performance of the power system, firstly, it is necessary to build an effective WTGs model.

Then through the change of wind speed and setting three-phase short-circuit fault on the net side, the model is verified on the decoupling control of active and reactive power for maximum point power tracking (MPPT) and the ability of low voltage ride-through.

Low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability has become more important to the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) as the penetration of wind power increases. This paper analyses the LVRT influence on the neighboring wind farm, mainly considering the crowbar action during a fault. On the basis, a new protection scheme for the DFIG is proposed to prevent the negative influence, primarily based on a rotor series resistor and a reactive power compensation device. And the adaptive control strategy is presented. Through the simulation, characteristics of DFIG in the neighboring wind farm with and without the protection scheme are compared. The results show that the cascading crowbar action can be avoided by the protection scheme and it is advantageous for grid voltage restoration.

With the substantial increase in the capacity of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power, the adverse effects of its complex fault characteristics on grid relay protection are increasingly highlighted. Based on the introduction of the topology and the control strategy on low-voltage ride through of PV power, a theoretical solution method for solving the fault current of PV power is proposed by taking account of the DC bus voltage fluctuation, and a theoretical calculation model of its transient and steady state is established. The correctness of the theoretical results is verified by the numerical simulation results and low-voltage ride through (LVRT) experiment results. Furthermore, to gain a better understanding of the factors influencing PV power fault characteristics, the effects of several factors including proportional integral (PI) controller parameters, fault voltage sag depth, and PV power load level on PV power fault characteristics are analyzed by using simple variable method. The obtained results can provide a theoretical reference for the control parameter design and protection research of PV power.
