Abstract

Wind Energy is one of the most rapidly growing forms of non-conventional Energy sources. Contrary to the non renewable and vulnerable counterparts, wind energy has proven to be momentous in the long journey for the purpose of power generation. The usage of wind turbines along the grid creates a large number of problems and one of them is Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT). The purpose of this paper is to enhance the LVRT capability of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) by using Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage system (SMES) and Switch Type Fault Current Limiter (STFCL) along with several changes along the grid side. It is required that the voltage should ride through even at a value less than 10-15% of the correct value during voltage sags.
