Abstract

Transient performance of a 1.7-MW wind-power doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) under network disturbances is studied using a coupled field-circuit simulator. The simulator consists of the finite-element method model of a DFIG coupled with the circuit model of the frequency converter, a transformer, and a simple model of the network. The simulation results show the transient behavior of the DFIG when a sudden voltage dip is introduced. The field-circuit simulator is experimentally validated by full-power measurement
