ABSTRACT
The installation of wind energy has increased rapidly around the world. The grid codes about the wind energy require
wind turbine (WT) has the ability of fault (or low voltage) ride-through (FRT). To study the FRT operation of the wind
farms, three methods were discussed. First, the rotor short current of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) was limited
by introducing a rotor side protection circuit. Second, the voltage of DC bus was limited by a DC energy absorb circuit.
Third, STATCOM was used to increase the low level voltages of the wind farm. Simulation under MATLAB was stu-
died and the corresponding results were given and discussed. The methods proposed in this paper can limit the rotor
short current and the DC voltage of the DFIG WT to some degree, but the voltage support to the power system during
the fault largely depend on the installation place of STATCOM.

4. Voltage Support
Conventional synchronous generator is able to supply
high short-circuit current to the fault location and holds
the voltage in the power system so the low voltage area Figure 5. Simulation result of the DC voltage with DC over
be reduced. As the increasing of the wind power penetra- voltage limiter.
