Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is significantly affected by various faults occurring in the grid as they are directly connected to the grid. In order to realize the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability, the DFIG must remain connected to the system for a certain period of time according to the grid code requirement. In order to achieve this, the high rotor current must be reduced in DFIG against faults occurring on the grid side. In this study, a decoupled feed-forward control model was developed for the LVRT capability. Positive, negative, natural, and forced methods were used for the decoupled feed-forward control (FFC) model. In addition to this developed model, while the stator electromotive force (EMF) model was developed for simulation study performance and ease of calculation, the rotor EMF model was also developed to predict the transient rotor current quickly. The developed models and the conventional model were used and compared in detail. According to the results obtained, it was observed that the system became stable owing to the developed model, while the oscillations formed as a result of the transient stability were damped.

• Decoupled power-based sliding mode control modeling strategy was developed for uncertain parameters and chattering problems in DFIG. • The rotor electromotive force model was developed to provide dynamic stability in DFIG. • The stator electromotive force model was developed to improve the performance of the simulation study. • The developed models were examined via balanced and unbalanced fault analyses. Low-voltage ride through (LVRT) capability is the principal method used to counteract voltage dips and over-current, which are caused by various balanced and unbalanced faults. However, in providing LVRT capability during faults, oscillations that occur in parameter changes should be damped for a short time. In this study, a decoupled power-based sliding mode control (SMC) in doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines was developed in order to eliminate the oscillation problems that may occur during balanced and unbalanced faults. Besides, while the stator electromotive force model in DFIG is developed with the aim of improving simulation performance and enabling ease of calculation, the rotor electromotive force model is developed to dynamic stability in the system during various faults. The results obviously indicated that the proposed decoupled power-based SMC and stator-rotor electromotive force models enhanced the LVRT capability of the grid-code requirement and quickly restored dynamic stability to the system.

• A new rotor resistance unit was developed for low voltage ride through capability in a doubly fed induction generator. • Stator and rotor dynamic modeling were developed against symmetrical and symmetrical faults. • Electromotive force models are developed in stator and rotor circuits. • A comparison was made of symmetrical and symmetrical faults with and without proposed model. It is very important to obtain smooth power and limit over-currents in grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines. Therefore, the rotor resistance unit can be used for power and over-currents control in DFIG. However, it may be insufficient to reduce oscillations in large power systems. This study aims to develop a new rotor resistance unit for low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability in DFIG. Moreover, electromotive-force (emf) models have been also developed in the stator and rotor circuit. The stator emf model of the simulation study was developed in the DFIG for accuracy and speed, while the rotor emf model was developed for over-current occurring in transient situations. In using the new rotor resistance unit and the stator-rotor emf, it was observed that the system stabilized in a short time, and the oscillations formed by the balanced and unbalanced faults on the grid side were damped.
