Existing method:
Due to flexibility in operation and enhanced features like higher output power, higher efficiency,
improved power quality, variable speed operation, lower mechanical stress on turbine hence
lower maintenance, decoupled control of the active and reactive power, the variable speed wind
generators are becoming preferred choice for new installations and drawing higher attention than
the traditional induction machine-based fixed speed wind generators. Lower cost, durability,
simple structure, possibility to cover a wide range of wind speed, partially rated variable
frequency ac/dc/ac converter and lower switching loss have made the doubly fed induction
machine (DFIM) a superior choice over the other wind generator options.
Proposed method:
The effectiveness of the proposed BFCL is demonstrated through a test wind energy conversion
system. The system consists of a wind turbine equipped with a DFIM, a transformer and the
double circuit transmission lines connected to the infinite bus. Temporary symmetrical and
unsymmetrical faults were applied at the most vulnerable point of the system. In order to see
how much effective the proposed approach is, its performance is compared with that of the series
dynamic braking resistor (SDBR).
