文摘With the increasing penetration of distributed generations(DGs)into power grids,the fault ride-through ability of DG is attracting more and more attention.Recent grid codes require a DG to maintain its connection with the grid during grid faults and to play an active role in the recovery of grid voltage.This paper chooses the doublyfed induction generator(DFIG)as the typical wind turbine for study.Firstly,a dynamic reactive power control strategy is proposed to improve the fault ride-through characteristic of a DFIG.The contributions of a DFIG to the fault current under the dynamic reactive power control and the Crowbar control are analyzed and compared based on the mathematical expressions and control behaviors.The impacts of a DFIG under two control strategies on distribution protections are discussed.Studies show that although a DFIG under the dynamic reactive power control provides more fault current component than one under the Crowbar control,its impacts on distribution protections are acceptable.Finally,a 10kV distribution network with a DFIG is simulated in PowerFactory DIgSILENT.The simulation results prove the correctness of above theoretical analysis.
