Popis: The doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is vulnerable to overcurrent at the stator winding and overvoltage at the DC link due to voltage drop after the grid fault. The large wind farm may have a capacity of several million MWs, whose tripping yields a notable power imbalance and frequency drop in the power systems, which may be avoided by the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) strategies implemented with the hardware or software. The latter has the merits of low cost and easy to realize, thus studied in this paper. Considering the grid fault uncertainty and DFIG parameters’ correlation, this paper newly introduces the sliding mode structure into the passive control to improve the performance of the inner current control loop of the rotor-side converter (RSC), thus proposing a passive sliding mode control (P-SMC) based RSC control strategy to improve the LVRT capability of the DFIG. The time domain analysis with different fault severities, i.e., voltage drops, at the point of public coupling (PCC) is performed. The simulation results with the P-SMC control or not are obtained and compared to verify the control effect and the robustness of the proposed LVRT strategy. This study is beneficial for maintaining power system security against fast-increasing wind power.
