Popis: In the last two decades doubly-fed induction generators have found a wide utilization in wind energy conversion systems. Although this type of generator has a flexible operation and a good cost-performance ratio it is particularly sensitive to grid voltage disturbances and voltage harmonics. This paper first presents typical power quality phenomena found in weak electrical power systems in which wind farms are frequently connected. The dynamic response and operating performance of the DFIG-based WECS are investigated under severe voltage dips, voltage swells and voltage harmonic distortion and possible mitigation measures proposed in literature are presented.
