A Low Voltage Ride Through Scheme for DFIG-Based Wind Farm With SFCL and RSC Control

Taking into consideration the low voltage ride through (LVRT) demand proposed in grid codes, a resistive-type superconducting fault current limiter (R-SFCL) LVRT solution is presented in this paper for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbine generators. The installed position, equivalent modelling of R-SFCL, and technical principle for improving LVRT capability are described. Cooperative control between R-SFCL and two advanced control strategies-reactive power control (RPC) and inductance-emulating control (IEC)-are introduced in this paper to help the DFIG generate reactive power and protect key parameters during grid faults. Simulations and performance evaluation are also conducted compared with the single IEC scheme and single RPC-IEC scheme, which demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed scheme in enhancing LVRT capability.
