5. Conclusions
- (1)
- When a severe fault occurs in the grid, without proper control, the EMF causes the RSC to saturate and lose control of the system. Therefore, evaluating whether an LVRT control strategy is valid depends on whether the RSC under this strategy is saturated.
- (2)
- Based on Lenz’s law analysis of rotor port characteristics, it is concluded that during LVRT, by controlling the rotor current and stator flux linkage to reverse, the RSC is the most difficult to saturate. At this point, the RSC is equivalent to the inductive impedance, and the torque ripple can also be eliminated.
- (3)
- during a grid fault, considering that the current stress withstood by the RSC is large, and the utilization rate of the GSC is very low, this paper proposes a DISC strategy. Under the condition that the grid voltage sags by 80%, unlike the existing control strategy, the DISC strategy can maintain the current flowing through the RSC and GSC within
- (4)
- If the DFIG meets the reactive power requirements during LVRT, the RSC must have a sufficient current margin at the beginning of the fault. Otherwise, an excessive current damages the RSC and causes severe losses.
