Research on Characteristics of Stator and Rotor Fault Current of DFIG

Abstract:

The abrupt dip of grid voltage would provoke a series of electromagnetic transient processes in stator and rotor of DFIG, which would threat the security of wind turbines fault ride through (LVRT) and stable operation of power system. Analyzing the fault current characteristics of DFIG is very useful to improve the LVRT strategy and adjust the relay protection setting of power system. In this paper, electromagnetic transient processes of DFIG are given a detail analysis after protection circuit of DFIG works due to the dip of three phase voltage in system. Then, the general expression of stator and rotor fault current is derived, and the validity of this method is verified. At last, the influences of the system short-circuit capacity and wind turbines accessing capacity on the fault current and system protections are analyzed when the wind turbines are accessed to the distribution network.
