The mechanism of DFIGs grouping tripped off from power grid

With more and more big wind farms integrating to grid, the faults of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) grouping tripped off (GTO) have occurred and bring serious power impacts on the grid. Usually, it was considered that the fault of DFIGs GTO is only related to the low/high voltage disturbances in the grid and manipulated as an electromagnetic transients. But, we discover that the fault of DFIGs GTO are also related to operating condition of DFIGs and schemes of crowbar protection equipped with DFIGs, and it may be extended to an electromechanical transient in some situations. Based on the investigation of the factors related to DFIGs GTO , such as degree of voltage disturbances, operating conditions of DFIGs and schemes of crowbar protection, three types of DFIGs GTOs are classified and corresponding mechanisms are revealed. The calculation methods to confirm the mechanism are established. The effectiveness of the proposed methods are verified by simulating some cases of DFISs GTO.
