In present electrical power systems, wind energy conversion systems based on doubly fed induction generators represent one of the most commonly accepted systems in the global market due to their excellent performance under different power system operations. The high wind energy penetration rate makes it challenging for these wind turbines to follow grid code requirements. All operations of a wind energy system during a dip in voltage require special attention; these operations are critically known as fault ride-through and low voltage ride-through. In this paper, various fault ride-through techniques of doubly fed induction generator-based wind energy conversion systems, such as protective circuitry, reactive power injection, and control methods for transient and steady state operations, have been presented to improve the performance. During system disturbances, protective circuitry or control mechanisms are typically used to limit the over-current of the rotor and the generated inappropriate DC link over-voltage. Simultaneously, the reactive power injection system overcomes the reactive power scarcity and enhances the transient response, further limiting the DC bus voltage and rotor current. This review paper compares and suggests appropriate FRT methods that are driven by external modifications and internal system improvements. Furthermore, typical case studies are discussed to illustrate and support the FRT system. The impact of each case study was evaluated and analyzed using the results obtained from the MATLAB/Simulink application and the OPAL-RT (OP4500) real time simulator (RTS). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
