Rating of crowbar is very important as its main part of my design if any other resistance less or
greater will used it may cause degraded performance of voltage and frequency and may cause
unbeneficial objectives as we required to subtract the over current from reference rated current

2.1 Background
Scope of the Project:
< In Energy producing Industries world’s greatest challenge is the pollution and renewable
energy resources like solar and wind power systems are reducing the cost of producing the
energy and pollution as well .Wind energy as compare with other sources of energy is most
reliable and efficient source because of producing power with small environment impact
.producing the energy from wind the speed of active wind power is 20-50 m/s. wind carries
power in the form of Kinetic Energy (K.E) so to convert this energy to electrical energy as
system is needed.

The induction generator with fixed speed and varying speed can be assemble for the
conversion but every type of induction generator has its own advantages Most of power
systems are producing the wind energy to electrical energy by means of DFIG doubly fed
induction generator due to its small size as compare with other types .It’s about 25-30% size of
convertors .Similar cause to choose DFIG on other types of Induction generator is that it
provides constant level of voltage as well as frequency while speed of rotor varies. >

Literature Review: (Detailed summary of what all has been done internationally in the proposed area
quoting references and bibliography. Maximum 1500 words.)

< In DFIG 70 % power is received from stator to grid as rotor connected directly with grid and
30 % power is obtained through rotor. Rotor control circuit consist of two types Rotor side
convertors RSC and Grid side converters GRC are separated by dc link capacitor and DC link
capacitor is placed by calculating the optimum value of DC Link capacitor. Energy produced
from wind turbine is transmitted to grid but in order to meet criteria the both energy producers
and national grid must agree on different special parameters called grid code. Grid codes are
FRT, LVRT, Voltage, Frequency and power factor ratio. DFIG as compare with FRT and IG are
preferred due to its small size of converters as most of the power is transmitted directly without
processing through control mechanism. Another factor of preferring DFIG over other types of
generator is its sensitivity during fault condition.

DFIG is more sensitive towards fault and it will disconnect during fault if grid code criteria will
not meet and remain offline until fault is completely finished. In the fault condition there are so
many possible techniques like crowbar. There are different types of crowbar used today like
Ignitron, Sparkgaps and thyratrons etc . Energy storage banks systems[ESS] are also used
which will deliver the energy until fault is reduced these types of system maintain the power
generation but cost of storing energy also increased as these types of systems need batteries
to store the energy and also control mechanism is needed. In this paper I try to overcome and
control rotor current I_r if I_r but it does not have any control over voltage and stator current I_s
as it is designed to protect the rotor current only. If rotor current will increase the probability of
errors for rotor current may produced and due to increase in rotor current speed of rotor will
also increased from rated speed and due to which the rotor winding may damage as these are
designed on some specific rating if Ir will be more than rated current there should be some
threshold that provide the resistance to control the Ir and if it will be below the threshold it will

Current State of the Art: (Please describe the current state of the art specific to this research topic.
Maximum 500 words.)

<I have designed the protection of rotor through resistance called crowbar resistance Rc as
shown in Fig.1 here wind turbine of 5Mw is considered and its providing the power to grid
through 2 split lines of 50 KM distance as if any fault in one line will observed the power flow
will be from the 2nd path of transmission line. Threshold for Ir will be less then Ir rated current
as it could provide the protection before reaching to rated current in order to avoid the losses. If
any phase current will be more than threshold the logical circuit will turn ONN the crowbar
switch and provide the resistance to rotor current. At the start it is possible that wind turbines
rotor current will exceed from threshold value but it should not turn onn the crowbar it should
remain deactivate during initial t=0.4 seconds but after the t=0.4 seconds any fault may occur
like transients and lightening due to which current could exceeds form threshold point but it
may probable that only one phase current or two could rise from specific threshold so every
phase current should be under control of rotor crowbar resistance for that purpose we need to
establish a resistance path to every phase current separately and OR all these comparative
outputs of threshold with each other so any phase abnormal conditions could be monitor and
also time of fault is monitored through mono chromatic switch. Output of both will AND to get
required out but switch will be RS logical Flip Flop operated only in during the fault and remain
Offline for normal conditions>

Challenges: (Please describe the challenges, specific to this research topic, currently being faced
internationally. Maximum 500 words.)

<The great Challenge in Crowbar Implementation was to consider all three phase current as
any one of phase current could be high at same time so I designed such a logical switch which
can work in all three phase at same time >

Motivation and Need: (Please describe the motivation and need for this work. Maximum 500
words.)

<DFIG are most preferable in wind energy due their size and unique effects, but the rotor
winding could be protected from any disturbance on grid or on wind turbine so implementation
of protected circuit is compulsory>

optimum value for crowbar so for optimum value we have to check the criteria by varying the
crowbar resistance value and checking the performance of speed, frequency and active power
curves during fault with and without crow bar resistance .Crowbar value is selected from the
Isc means short circuit current rating first we have to evaluate the short circuit current and

Crowbar optimizing
DFIG protection performance depends on crowbar and its very essential to select an optimum
value for crowbar so for optimum value we have to check the criteria by varying the crowbar
resistance value and checking the performance of speed, frequency and active power curves
during fault with and without crow bar resistance .Crowbar value is selected from the Isc
means short circuit current rating first we have to evaluate the short circuit current and perform
then collect the optimum value of crow bar .

Formula for short circuit current is as below

Rotor voltage is calculated by the following formula

From this formula we could calculate the Rcrb means Resistance of crowbar from below given
formula

If we will approximate the results the optimized crowbar will be as under [6]:-

Table 1. Calculation of I and V for 5 MW Grid

This ratio shows that when resistance of crowbar is 20 times of rated rotor resistance the
current of rotor will be decreased from nominal value of 4.08 pu to 3.34 pu.

IV Results

Application for ICT-Related Research and Development Grant Page 13

With and without crow bar the results are prepared on the behalf of simulation performed for 5
MW wind power systems and the from given below results its very clear that without crowbar
rotor current exceeds from threshold value but with crowbar it does not exceeds from specified
value.

1. Without any Fault.

When there is no fault is applied rotor current and voltage and all factors shown below
remain same as far as there is no disturbance recorded except initial period of DFIG.

3. DFIG Simulation with crowbar circuit

When there is no fault is applied and crowbar is used with DFIG for only protecting the
rotor current its very clear that only rotor current is controlled but all other does not
effected by this designed circuit so there is no control on stator voltage and current of
DFIG.

V conclusion
On the basis of results it is concluded that wind energy systems with DFIG’s are more prefer
able as compare with the other types because of its unique characteristics and performance
but if DFIGs are used this type generator must use crowbar protection scheme or any other
scheme for both rotor and stator in order to protect the winding of rotor we can implement the
crowbar protections but for start we could use series crowbar technique for better result and it’s
very clear from my Matlab’s simulation that when a crowbar resistance is used the rotor current
does not exceeds from threshold point but it also shown here that no control of voltage and DC
link is established here in my purposed design but for better achievements we can modify my
purposed design by using separate protection of stator and rotor voltage and current.
