Abstract

Three control strategies are represented in this study which is compared with each other based on transient modes. In this study, simulation is done by MATLAB software. During voltage faults, the reaction of stator makes the charge of electricity induced in a rotor; so, the harmonic range goes up in the rotor and causes the ripple in torque and DC link voltage. On the other hand, the transferred power from the rotor to grid decreases which causes immediate voltage increase in DC link. This study represents a new method for improving the performance of wind turbines using doubly fed induction generator during grid fault and prevents the destruction of different sections.
