An analytic method of calculating rotor and stator short-circuit current of DFIG with RSC control

To investigate the fault features of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) with rotor side converter (RSC) control, an analytic method of calculating the DFIG short-circuit current is proposed in this paper. Based on the space vector model of DFIG with RSC control, the dynamic equation of rotor current reflecting both the machine transient process and the impact of RSC control is derived, and analytic expressions of rotor and stator fault current in time-domain are obtained. The calculation result is certified by being compared with the PSCAD simulation result. According to the derived analytic expressions, the components of the DFIG short-circuit current are analyzed. It indicates that the machine terminal voltage dip of DFIG, the current reference value, the orientation angle, and the proportional-integral value of RSC controller are main factors influencing the short-circuit current characteristics.
