Abstract:In order to improve the asymmetric fault ride-through capability of PMSG wind turbine, a novel control method is proposed. This method can reduce the negative sequence current component in the grid side converter and eliminate the 2 nd order voltage fluctuation in the DC link capacitor voltage of the AC-DC-AC converter. The proposed control method employs the grid voltage feed forward to reduce the grid side negative sequence current component, while a novel power control concept, output power of generator tracking the grid side power, is applied to control the electro-magnetic power of the PMSG to eliminate the 2 nd order voltage ripple in the DC link. Simulation results for a 1 MW case study show that the control method can eliminate the grid side negative sequence current component and the 2 nd order voltage ripple in the DC link at the same time.
