Short-circuit Current Engineering Calculation Method Considering Crowbar Operation Priority Degree of DFIG

Abstract

Abstract When fault occurs in high wind power proportion grid, the control strategy and external characteristics of the wind power plant are affected by voltage drop of grid, so the traditional short-circuit current engineering calculation is difficult to converge. A short-circuit current engineering calculation method for high wind power proportion grid, considering grid node importance evaluation and crowbar protection of DFIG(double-fed induction generator), is proposed. This paper proposes the external equivalent model of the DFIG when fault occurs in grid, considers voltage drop degree and node importance indexes, and determines the weight of each index through Delphi method. The DFIG crowbar operation priority is evaluated to ensure the successful convergence of calculation and the maximum voltage support of wind power plants. The study case shows that proposed method is superior to the traditional method.
