 INTRODUCTION
 Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) are widely
used in wind turbines along with induction or
permanent magnet synchronous generators interfaced
to the network through power electronic converters.
 The rotor circuit of the DFIG in wind power
applications in connected to the network through a
back to back converters , made up of rotor side
converters(RSC) and a grid side converter.
 The doubly fed generator rotors are typically wound
2 to 3 times the number of turns of the stator .
 The DFIG is currently the system of choice for multi
MW wind turbines.

 WORKING PRINCIPLE
 Working principle of DFIG is such that it takes an apparent
power from the grid and start as an induction motor first. Due to
the additional mechanical input fed by wind turbines the gear
ratio can be adjusted such that rotor attains speed .

 which is greater than synchronous speed then it works as

induction generator which only takes reactive power from grid
and fed active power to the grid from stator side and rotor side
using bi-directional back to back converter.

 synchronous speed of the machine can be varied by adjusting
the frequency of ac supply fed into rotor windings.

 TYPES OF GRID FAULTS
 Any deviation in the voltage magnitude from the declared
value is considered as Disturbance (Amplitude pollution).
 Any deviation in the waveform of voltage is considered as
Distortion (Frequency pollution).
 Different types of fault occur on grid:-
1) Symmetrical Faults:-
* Three Phase Fault
* Short Circuit
2) Unsymmetrical Faults:-
* Line To Ground Fault
* Double Line To Ground Fault
* Line To Line Fault

 ADVANTAGES
 DFIG is that it works as an active filter even when
the wind turbine is in shutdown condition .
 It compensates low reactive power and harmonics
and wind turbine stalling case .
 Significantly reduced power rating and cost of
converters .
 Possible speed regulation of optimal utilization of
energy (typically 20-25%).
 DISADVANTAGES
 Slip rings wear and tear ,maintenance.
 Complex control of the entire unit.
 Direct connection to the grid is some what
difficult.
 The output voltage is dependant on the rotor
speed and stator.
 FUTURE SCOPE
 DFIG is cost effective machine. Future scope is to built
the LVRT capability in wind energy conversion system
and increase the proportion of wind energy in the grid.
 CONCLUSION
• By appropriate control, the DFIG is always on-line with
grid even if the fault is occur.
• It is shown that by using the DFIG safe operation (SOA) is
kept and the behavior of the turbine and LVRT capability
improved with the help of rotor active crowbar protection
and STATCOM.
