A New Short-Circuit Current Calculation and Fault Analysis Method Suitable for Doubly Fed Wind Farm Groups

The transient characteristics of wind farms in groups are quite different; in addition, there is a strong coupling between the wind farms and the grid, and these factors make the fault analysis of the grid with wind farm groups complicated. In order to solve this problem, a mathematical model of the converter is established based on the input-output external characteristics of the converter, and a transient model of a doubly fed wind turbine (DFIG) is presented considering the influence of the low-voltage ride-through control (LVRT) of the converter, and the effect mechanism of the LVRT strategy on the short-circuit current is analyzed. Finally, a short-circuit current calculation model of a doubly fed wind turbine with low-voltage crossing control is established. The interaction mechanism between wind farms during the fault is analyzed, and a short-circuit current calculation method of doubly fed wind farm groups is proposed. RTDS is used to verify the accuracy of the proposed short-circuit current calculation method for doubly fed field groups. On this basis, a method of power grid fault analysis after doubly fed field group access is discussed and analyzed.
