Abstract
Low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) is the core of grid code requirements for grid connection of wind farms (WFs). This paper presents a capacitive DC reactor-type fault current limiter (CDRFCL) for LVRT capability enhancement of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based WFs. The CDRFCL is based on the conventional DC reactor-type fault current limiter (DRFCL), which is modified to overcome its limitations of operation and is adapted with the WF environment. To check the effectiveness of the proposed CDRFCL, its performance is compared with the series dynamic braking resistor (SDBR). The WF is modeled with equivalent aggregated DFIG. The PSCAD/EMTDC simulation results show that the CDRFCL is an effective solution for enhancement of LVRT capability and limitation of fault current contribution (FCC) of WFs.
