Abstract:
A wind turbine 36 has a back-to-back AC/DC/AC power electronic converter chain in which the grid side converter 48 is connected in series with DFIG stator windings 64. The machine side converter 56 is fed from the rotor windings 54 of the DFIG 44. Series connection of the grid side converter 48 enables voltage sag ride-through capability via control of the stator flux.In the event of a grid voltage sag, the series converter allows for a controlled response in the stator flux and electromagnetic shaft torque, protects the machine side converter and enables continued power delivery to the grid.
