Abstract: For the grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion system (WECS), many
improved control algorithms have been developed for the rotor-side converter (RSC) to suppress the overcurrents in the rotor-side
under voltage dips. However, such objective can hardly be achieved under severe grid fault conditions because of the limitation of
RSCs output voltage. An analysis tool is proposed to estimate the the theoretical control limit of the RSC in suppressing the shortcircuit rotor currents during grid faults in this study. The tool is based on the optimisation theory and takes the practical constraints
of the RSC into account. To execute the analysis, a simplied DFIG model with decoupled stator and rotor uxes is presented, and
the low-voltage ride through (LVRT) problem can be formulated as an optimisation problem, which intends to suppress the rotor
winding currents with voltage constraints. The Pontryagins minimum principle is employed to solve the optimisation problem
and the results can identify the control limit of the RSC. A case study based on a typical 1.5 MW DFIG-based WECS under
various grid voltage dips is carried out to validate the analytical method. The proposed method is also further veried by
experimental tests on a scaled 3 KW DFIG system. The results are expected to help the manufacturers to assess and improve
their RSC controllers or LVRT measures.

The poles of the system, that is, the eigenvalues of A are given
by ps1,2 =
vs + jvs and pr1,2 =
vr + jvsr , whose real
parts reect the damping speed of the dc component of the
uxes, and the imagine parts reect the angular frequency
of the uxes. Note that the matrix with block diagonal
implies that the ux responses of the stator and rotor are
decoupled, that is, similar to that of two independent
second-order systems. Therefore the state-variable model
(1) can be simplied as
dc /dt = As cs + us

Fig. 2, where the dashed lines indicate that the couplings
between the stator and rotor uxes are removed. The

Case study
Initially, the rotor speed of the turbine r is 1.2 pu, and the
mechanical power produced by the turbine is 0.67 pu,
whereas the reactive power output of the stator of DFIG is
0. Assuming that a three-phase symmetrical voltage dip
with 60% depth happens at t = 0.1 s. Applying the proposed

are the optimal values of urd , urq , and urm is the amplitude
of the optimal rotor voltage. To validate the analysed
results, the three-phase rotor current response of the
full-order DFIG system under the optimal rotor voltage u
r
is shown in Fig. 6.
Fig. 4 shows that the amplitude of rotor voltage is always
kept at its constraint during the interested time interval,
which implies that the rotor voltage constraint is optimally
used to suppress the rotor current. As a result, the rotor
current is well suppressed as shown in Fig. 5, and the
amplitude of peak value is a little < 2 pu. If the threshold,
namely the maximum current allowed by RSC is 2 pu, it
means that the fault is possible to be ride through with
the proper control of RSC. Otherwise, some additional
protection circuits, such as crowbar, have to be activated.
From Fig. 6, it can be seen that the time-domain response
of the full-order DFIG system coincides well with the
calculated result as shown in Fig. 5, which validates the
analysed results.
The pre-fault states, including the input mechanical power
from the turbine PWT and the output reactive power of stator
Qs, affect the dynamical response of DFIG during faults.
Usually, when the grid is normal, the DFIG is under MPPT

where U is the amplitude of pre-fault phase voltage, p is
the depth of voltage dips, a = 1120 = ej(2/3). Then the

The obtained control limits for single-phase faults are
shown in Fig. 15, and the safe operation regions with
threshold 2 pu are shown in Fig. 16. The meanings of the
gures are identical with the symmetrical case, and are
omitted here for brevity. The similar conclusions to the
symmetrical case can be derived, which are not repeated here.
Using the similar method, the cases of phasephase and
two-phase faults can also be analysed. The detailed process
is not presented here for brevity. The control limits for
phasephase faults and two-phase-to-ground faults are
shown in Figs. 17 and 18, respectively.
