- Abstract
Recently, a major part of the newly installed wind turbines are of the variable-speed type using permanent-magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs), which are required to meet grid interconnection codes for fault ride-through (FRT), so as to actively contribute to system stability during a wide range of network fault scenarios. This paper suggests a resistive type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) to enhance the FRT capability of a PMSG-based wind turbine. The SFCL’s mathematical model is presented in brief, and in terms of the PMSG’s theoretical model, the SFCL’s influence mechanism to its FRT capability is discussed. Furthermore, the detailed model of a typical PMSG-based wind turbine with the SFCL is built in MATLAB/SIMULINK, and transient simulations are done to assess the SFCL’s performance behaviours. From the demonstrated results, the SFCL can availably limit the fault current and maintain a stable DC-link voltage. And also, the SFCL is able to smooth the power fluctuation and strengthen the wind power system’s transient performance.
