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.

Grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines are very sensitive to voltage dip problems that occur in grid side. Therefore, different low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability methods are used to decrease the voltage dip problems. In this study, it is aimed to present a hybrid control approach to provide LVRT capability in DFIG. Moreover, it is aimed to develop electromotive-force (emf) models in a stator-rotor circuit. The rotor emf model is used to compensate for the voltage dip and reduce the oscillations while using the stator emf model to ensure the ease of calculation and accuracy of the simulation study. In the results, this paper is reporting that the hybrid control approach proposed in this study has given yield effective and better results in comparison with those of the conventional DFIG model.

• 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.
