Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is a better alternative to increased power demand Modern grid regulations force DFIGto operate without losing synchronism during overvoltages called high voltage ride through (HVRT) during grid faults Enhancedfield oriented control technique (EFOC) was proposed in Rotor Side Control of DFIG converter to improve power flow transferand to improve dynamic and transient stability Further electromagnetic oscillations are damped improved voltage mitigation andlimit surge currents for sustained operation of DFIG during voltage swellsThe proposed strategy has advantages such as improvedreactive power control better damping of electromagnetic torque oscillations and improved continuity of voltage and currentfrom stator and rotor to grid during disturbance In EFOC technique rotor flux reference changes its value from synchronousspeed to zero during fault for injecting current at the rotor slip frequency In this process DC-Offset component of stator flux iscontrolled so that decomposition during overvoltage faults can be minimized The offset decomposition of flux will be oscillatoryin a conventional FOC whereas in EFOC it is aimed to be quick damping The system performance with overvoltage of 13 times162 times and 2 times the rated voltage occurring is analyzed by using simulation studies
1 Introduction
The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is preferred dueto its small size with higher MVA ratings available in themarket low power ratings of converters variable genera-tor speed and constant frequency operation robust four-quadrant reactive power control and improved performanceduring the high and low voltage ride through (HVRT andLVRT) However DFIG is sensitive to external disturbanceslike voltage swell and sag If grid voltage falls or rises suddenlydue to any reason large surge currents enter the rotorterminals and induce the voltage significantly So the rotorside converter (RSC) gets damaged due to exceeding voltageor the current rating Apart from this there will be hugeelectromagnetic torque pulsations and increase in rotor speedwhich may reduce burden on gears of the wind turbine-generator Such phenomenon reduces lifetime of overallsystem
A study of LVRT and HVRT issue for DFIG with rotorcurrent dynamics is given in [1] In this paper rotor open andshort circuit analysis and differential equations are derivedand analyzed to improve the capability of DFIG duringdisturbances Hybrid current controllers are used to improvethe capability of DFIG to deliver desired reactive powerand withstand capability during LVRT and HVRT in [2]In [3] authors discuss the problems and possible measuresto improve performance during HVRT by proposing activevoltage control A fast coordinated control scheme based onthe characteristics of DFIG was proposed to improve perfor-mance during LVRT and HVRT [4] Effects of asymmetricalHVRT are analyzed and control strategy for improvingperformance during overvoltages is done in [5] A grid sideconverter (GSC) based control strategy to improve voltagechanges in DC link capacitor during HVRT is shown in[6] FACTS devices like STATCOM [7] and dynamic voltage

restorer [8] are used to mitigate voltage swell without phaseangle deviation and to investigate HVRT issues Energystorage devices like SMES to meet the requirement of trans-mission system operators (TSOs) for wind generation systemof HVRT through two grid codes have been discussed in [9]The critical comparison between HVRT and LVRT is drawnin [10] The use of active resistance to suppress rotor currentand torque oscillations for enhanced operation HVRT isdescribed in [11]
Some external passive elements and active sources areused in conjunction to improve stability and thereby leadingto a better LVRT operation of DFIG during symmetrical andasymmetrical faults Single phase crowbar supercapacitorenergy storage system [12] fault current limiter (FCL) [13]and superconducting FCL with magnetic energy storagedevices [14] are connected in coordination with DFIG systemto enhance system LVRT behavior during severe faults
The STATCOM [15ndash22] familiar shunt device fromFACTS family is used to surmount the system to losesynchronism due to external disturbances like large sym-metrical and asymmetrical faults voltage rise variation inwind speed and subsynchronous resonance Two sequencecomponents with dual voltage control during grid faults forDFIG-STATCOM system are used in [22 23] The DVRwith high temperature superconductor fault current limiter(SCFCL) application is used for controlling balanced andunbalanced grid faults for DFIG [24] Eigenanalysis withfrequency domain approach used for sea-shore wind farm toimprove system stability for DFIG and SCIG is discussed in[25] by applying an UPFC controller The process of energystorage with the help of superconducting coil by integratingit to the DC link back-to-back converters for DFIG system isdiscussed in [26]
The research on the behavior of DFIG system duringHVRT is still in its nascence There are a few research papersavailable As per modern grid codes for the countries likeAustralia and Spain DFIG system must withstand to 13times the rated voltage without losing synchronism It isgenerally observed that with sudden increase in grid voltagestator and rotor voltages increase and current decreases Theelectromagnetic torque (EMT) increases when rotor speeddecreases The rotor voltage and current frequency decreaseas slip frequency decreases (sf) due to decrease in slip valueThe rotor current decrease for DFIG depends on rotor andstator winding parameters increase in voltage magnitude atgrid and decrease in speed of rotor If rotor and stator fluxchange is controlled EMT rotor speed andmachine currentscan be controlled effectively To achieve this the first stepis that a new reference synchronous speed has to be chosenbased on change in speed during faultThe second step is thatDC offset component of flux must be eliminated oscillationsmust be damped and change in magnitude of 119902-axis fluxcomponents must be controlledThis methodology is termedas enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) The efficacy ofEFOC is analyzed for a standard DFIG system for improvingvoltage and current profile of stator and rotor with stabletorque speed and flux control mechanism
The system performance with overvoltage at grid ter-minals during 08 to 12 seconds with an electromagnetic
torque of 200Nm is analyzed In the analysis the grid faultvoltage is considered in three cases case 1 13 times case 2162 times and case 3 2 times the grid voltage with otherparameters remaining constant The voltage and currentparameters at rotor stator grid voltage and DFIG electro-magnetic torque (EMT) and speed of the rotor are comparedand analyzed for all the three cases The proposed EFOCmethod can be applicable to both LVRT and HVRT issueswhich help in improving current and voltage profile at statorand rotor terminals during disturbance Better performanceDFIG operation is expected when using EFOC techniquein contrast to the conventional FOC method In additionthere is no need to use robust PIR or any other sophisticatedcontrollers Generally when a severe grid overvoltage occursoscillations arise with the increase of stator terminal voltageDC link capacitor voltage increases speed of rotor decreasesand electromagnetic torque increases
In Section 2 design of converters for EFOC is explainedIn Section 3 mathematical modeling of wind turbine andgenerator converters for the grid connected DFIG isexplained during transient state In this section effect of sys-tem during symmetrical fault EFOC control technique andbehavior ofmechanical and electrical systemwith variation inrotor speed are explained in subsections Simulation resultsare described in Section 4 of overvoltage of 13 162 and 2times the rated voltage in the MATLAB environment Theconclusion is presented in Section 5 followedby theAppendixand References

A considerable decrease in prefault steady state voltage119881119903
0119903to a certain fault voltage during a three-phase fault is
explained here However RSC converter is designed to meet119881119903
119903to match 119881119903
0119903for rotor current control and the design has
to be made for rating of only 35 of stator rated voltageThe voltage dip during fault can be adopted independentlyor in coordination by using two techniques as explainedin Figure 3
During fault at first instant Φ119904 does not fall instantly(12) as shown in the flux and voltage trajectories [27] Ifthe machine is running at super synchronous speed withslip (119904) near to minus02 pu during fault rotor speed furtherincreases based on the term (1 minus 119904) as given by (12) Theabove speed change is uncontrollable for a generator havinghigher electrical and mechanical inertia constants In orderto control the rotor current change 119881119903
119903has to be increased
Based on the first reason a voltage 119881Φ119904 has to be injected inthe feed forward path for improving the rotor dip to reach itsnear steady state value By converting (12) into a synchronousreference frame and by considering direct alignment of Φ119889119904with Φ119904 we get

Figure 3 The rotor equivalent circuit
When dynamic stability has to be improved proposedtechnique controls the decrease in stator and rotor fluxmagnitude and also damps oscillations at the fault instancesTo achieve better performance during transients this paperproposes a strategy to change stator frequency referenceto zero or other values depending on type and severity ofdisturbance The accurate measurement of stator and rotorparameters like flux and current helps in achieving betterperformance during transients The DC offset stator currentreduction during transients and making the two-axis fluxand voltage trajectory circular also improves the efficacy ofthe system performance during any faults The equations(7) to (12) help in understanding DFIG behavior duringtransient conditions and accuracy of its working depends onmeasurement of rotor current and flux parameters
32 EFOC Technique The EFOC method of improving fieldflux oriented control technique helps in improving the perfor-mance of the RSC controller of DFIG during fault conditionsas described in Figure 4 The DCOC observer carries twoactions the change in flux values of stationary frame statorreferences (Φ120572119904 Φ120573119904) for tracking radius of trajectory andDCOC for offset change in stationary fluxes (Φ119889119888120572119904 Φ119889119888120573119904)during fault conditions and controlling them
There are two major controlling actions with proposedEFOC technique The first action helps in gaining the trajec-tory of a circle point and helps in reaching its pre-fault statewith the same radius and center of the circle This helps inimproving and maintaining the same rate of change in fluxcompensation even during fault without losing the stabilityThe second action helps in controlling and maintaining tonearly zero magnitude of EMF in DFIG with the action of(DC offset component) DCOC technique
Based on the above two actions if the former oneis greater with change in trajectory which generally hap-pens during disturbances from an external grid stator syn-chronous frequency flux speed (120596Φ119904) changes to synchronousgrid frequency flux (120596119904) otherwise 120596Φ119904 changes to faultangular frequency value and is injected toRSCvoltage controlloop as error compensator

The rotating direct and quadrature reference voltages ofrotor are converted into stationary 119886119887119888 frame parameters byusing inverse parks transformation Slip frequency is used togenerate sinusoidal and cosine parameters for inverse parkstransformation
In general during fault and after fault theDC link voltageacross the capacitor at the DFIG back-to-back converterterminal falls and rises and the STATCOMhelps in improvingthe operation and assists in regaining its voltage valuerespectively to get ready for the operation during nextfault However STATCOM provides efficient support to thegrid-generator system under severe faults by fast action incontrolling reactive power flow to grid by maintaining theDC link voltage at the capacitor terminal of DFIG convertersconstant particularly during transient state Hence it helps inimproving the dynamic stability of the overall system
33 Behavior of Mechanical and Electrical System with theVariation in Rotor Speed during Faults The mechanical toelectrical relationship is explained as followsThe rotor speedcan be expressed as
120596119903 = (1 minus 119904) 120596119904 = 119901120578120596120596119905 (29)
where 119904 is slip of DFIG 119901 is pair of poles of DFIG 120578 isgear box ratio and 120596120596119905 is wind turbine speed With thechange in wind speed and depending on gears ratio andnumber of field poles how the rotor speed varies is shown
in (27) When rotor speed varies reference quadrature axiscurrent changes thereby current flow in the rotor circuitvaries The stator output also varies with variation in windturbine speed and DFIG output power When slip varies thevoltage in rotor circuit also varies which can be explainedas per (6) and (7) Further change in rotor voltage leadsto change in rotor current thereby rotor power flow alsovaries When a disturbance like symmetrical fault occursrotor speed increases so as to compensate the change inelectrical power and the mechanical power During faultsrotor of DFIG tries to accelerate and reaches a new operatingpoint Hence the rotor speed decreases with over voltage faultand decreases with under voltage fault This statement canbe understandable from the equal area criterion theory forelectrical machines
The mechanical turbine tip speed ratio (TSR) can bewritten in terms of radius of turbine wings (119877) angular statorspeed (120596119904) pole pairs and gear box ratio as
120582 =119877120596119904
119901120578V119908(1 minus 119904) (30)
With the increase in stator or grid frequency TSR increasesand vice versa Similarly with increase in rotor speed orwind speed TSR decreases and vice versa Hence when anelectrical system gets disturbed mechanical system also getssome turbulence and electrical tomechanical system is tightlyinterlinked The steady state behavior of overall system mustsatisfy the following relation
Δ119875 =minus119875120596119905
(1 minus 119904)minus 119875119890119898 = 0 (31)
Under normal conditions the change in turbine outputhas to be compensated by electrical power output fromDFIGOtherwise slip gets changed and thereby rotor speed changesHence with imbalance in mechanical to electrical poweroutput ratios the slip changes With the change in coefficientof power Cp the mechanical power varies The mechanicalpower changesmostly whenwind speed or air density aroundthe turbine wings changes The electrical power from DFIGchanges when mechanical power changes or rotor speedchanges or load demand from grid varies
4 Result Analysis
In this paper a general system was considered as shownin Figure 6 The DFIG is driven by a wind turbine andelectric power from the generator is pumped to the grid formeeting different loads requirement The RSC is designedwith EFOC technique to enhance operation during grid faultand has better dynamic stability features than a conventionalFOC The role of RSC is to extract maximum power fromwind turbine so the generator is made to rotate at thatoptimal speed by adjusting gear wheels between generatorand turbine shaft Another role of RSC is to improve thereactive power requirement during any abnormal situationslike undervoltage or overvoltage faults The excess reactivepower is supplied by RSC using the capacitor bank at RSCend and accuracy and fastness depend on the control strategy

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902

As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage But during fault 119889-axis statorcurrent and 119902-axis rotor current became zero when voltagesswell occurred and 119902-axis stator current decreased to minus105Aminus95 A and minus80A when voltage increased to 13 16 and 2times and reached normal of minus140A when fault was clearedSimilarly the rotor d-axis current decreased from 125 ampsduring steady state to 100A 80A and 55A when the voltageat grid rose from 13 162 and 2 times the rated voltage becauseof an over-voltage fault In the proposed control schemeDC offset current components are eliminated by RSC controlscheme and stator currents are controlled to some extent byGSC control scheme The rotor voltage injection and currentcontrol action are as per (17) and ((19a) (19b))The rapid andenhanced reactive power control action of proposed schemehelps in improving current profile of both stator and rotorThe three-phase stator and rotor current waveforms 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rises in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(e)(i)(ii) and (iii)
The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

restorer [8] are used to mitigate voltage swell without phaseangle deviation and to investigate HVRT issues Energystorage devices like SMES to meet the requirement of trans-mission system operators (TSOs) for wind generation systemof HVRT through two grid codes have been discussed in [9]The critical comparison between HVRT and LVRT is drawnin [10] The use of active resistance to suppress rotor currentand torque oscillations for enhanced operation HVRT isdescribed in [11]
Some external passive elements and active sources areused in conjunction to improve stability and thereby leadingto a better LVRT operation of DFIG during symmetrical andasymmetrical faults Single phase crowbar supercapacitorenergy storage system [12] fault current limiter (FCL) [13]and superconducting FCL with magnetic energy storagedevices [14] are connected in coordination with DFIG systemto enhance system LVRT behavior during severe faults
The STATCOM [15ndash22] familiar shunt device fromFACTS family is used to surmount the system to losesynchronism due to external disturbances like large sym-metrical and asymmetrical faults voltage rise variation inwind speed and subsynchronous resonance Two sequencecomponents with dual voltage control during grid faults forDFIG-STATCOM system are used in [22 23] The DVRwith high temperature superconductor fault current limiter(SCFCL) application is used for controlling balanced andunbalanced grid faults for DFIG [24] Eigenanalysis withfrequency domain approach used for sea-shore wind farm toimprove system stability for DFIG and SCIG is discussed in[25] by applying an UPFC controller The process of energystorage with the help of superconducting coil by integratingit to the DC link back-to-back converters for DFIG system isdiscussed in [26]
The research on the behavior of DFIG system duringHVRT is still in its nascence There are a few research papersavailable As per modern grid codes for the countries likeAustralia and Spain DFIG system must withstand to 13times the rated voltage without losing synchronism It isgenerally observed that with sudden increase in grid voltagestator and rotor voltages increase and current decreases Theelectromagnetic torque (EMT) increases when rotor speeddecreases The rotor voltage and current frequency decreaseas slip frequency decreases (sf) due to decrease in slip valueThe rotor current decrease for DFIG depends on rotor andstator winding parameters increase in voltage magnitude atgrid and decrease in speed of rotor If rotor and stator fluxchange is controlled EMT rotor speed andmachine currentscan be controlled effectively To achieve this the first stepis that a new reference synchronous speed has to be chosenbased on change in speed during faultThe second step is thatDC offset component of flux must be eliminated oscillationsmust be damped and change in magnitude of 119902-axis fluxcomponents must be controlledThis methodology is termedas enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) The efficacy ofEFOC is analyzed for a standard DFIG system for improvingvoltage and current profile of stator and rotor with stabletorque speed and flux control mechanism
The system performance with overvoltage at grid ter-minals during 08 to 12 seconds with an electromagnetic
torque of 200Nm is analyzed In the analysis the grid faultvoltage is considered in three cases case 1 13 times case 2162 times and case 3 2 times the grid voltage with otherparameters remaining constant The voltage and currentparameters at rotor stator grid voltage and DFIG electro-magnetic torque (EMT) and speed of the rotor are comparedand analyzed for all the three cases The proposed EFOCmethod can be applicable to both LVRT and HVRT issueswhich help in improving current and voltage profile at statorand rotor terminals during disturbance Better performanceDFIG operation is expected when using EFOC techniquein contrast to the conventional FOC method In additionthere is no need to use robust PIR or any other sophisticatedcontrollers Generally when a severe grid overvoltage occursoscillations arise with the increase of stator terminal voltageDC link capacitor voltage increases speed of rotor decreasesand electromagnetic torque increases

In (15b) the first two terms on RHS determine the voltagedrop by rotor current due to passive elements and the lastterm determines the EMF induced by the stator flux
A considerable decrease in prefault steady state voltage119881119903
0119903to a certain fault voltage during a three-phase fault is
explained here However RSC converter is designed to meet119881119903
119903to match 119881119903
0119903for rotor current control and the design has
to be made for rating of only 35 of stator rated voltageThe voltage dip during fault can be adopted independentlyor in coordination by using two techniques as explainedin Figure 3
During fault at first instant Φ119904 does not fall instantly(12) as shown in the flux and voltage trajectories [27] Ifthe machine is running at super synchronous speed withslip (119904) near to minus02 pu during fault rotor speed furtherincreases based on the term (1 minus 119904) as given by (12) Theabove speed change is uncontrollable for a generator havinghigher electrical and mechanical inertia constants In orderto control the rotor current change 119881119903
119903has to be increased
Based on the first reason a voltage 119881Φ119904 has to be injected inthe feed forward path for improving the rotor dip to reach itsnear steady state value By converting (12) into a synchronousreference frame and by considering direct alignment of Φ119889119904with Φ119904 we get

119871 119904
120596Φ119889119904 (16)
The second technique for voltage increase requirementin a rotor is that dip can be compensated by replacing 119904120596119904with (120596Φ119904 minus120596) in cross coupling terms 119904120596119904119871

Figure 3 The rotor equivalent circuit
When dynamic stability has to be improved proposedtechnique controls the decrease in stator and rotor fluxmagnitude and also damps oscillations at the fault instancesTo achieve better performance during transients this paperproposes a strategy to change stator frequency referenceto zero or other values depending on type and severity ofdisturbance The accurate measurement of stator and rotorparameters like flux and current helps in achieving betterperformance during transients The DC offset stator currentreduction during transients and making the two-axis fluxand voltage trajectory circular also improves the efficacy ofthe system performance during any faults The equations(7) to (12) help in understanding DFIG behavior duringtransient conditions and accuracy of its working depends onmeasurement of rotor current and flux parameters
32 EFOC Technique The EFOC method of improving fieldflux oriented control technique helps in improving the perfor-mance of the RSC controller of DFIG during fault conditionsas described in Figure 4 The DCOC observer carries twoactions the change in flux values of stationary frame statorreferences (Φ120572119904 Φ120573119904) for tracking radius of trajectory andDCOC for offset change in stationary fluxes (Φ119889119888120572119904 Φ119889119888120573119904)during fault conditions and controlling them
There are two major controlling actions with proposedEFOC technique The first action helps in gaining the trajec-tory of a circle point and helps in reaching its pre-fault statewith the same radius and center of the circle This helps inimproving and maintaining the same rate of change in fluxcompensation even during fault without losing the stabilityThe second action helps in controlling and maintaining tonearly zero magnitude of EMF in DFIG with the action of(DC offset component) DCOC technique
Based on the above two actions if the former oneis greater with change in trajectory which generally hap-pens during disturbances from an external grid stator syn-chronous frequency flux speed (120596Φ119904) changes to synchronousgrid frequency flux (120596119904) otherwise 120596Φ119904 changes to faultangular frequency value and is injected toRSCvoltage controlloop as error compensator

The rotating direct and quadrature reference voltages ofrotor are converted into stationary 119886119887119888 frame parameters byusing inverse parks transformation Slip frequency is used togenerate sinusoidal and cosine parameters for inverse parkstransformation
In general during fault and after fault theDC link voltageacross the capacitor at the DFIG back-to-back converterterminal falls and rises and the STATCOMhelps in improvingthe operation and assists in regaining its voltage valuerespectively to get ready for the operation during nextfault However STATCOM provides efficient support to thegrid-generator system under severe faults by fast action incontrolling reactive power flow to grid by maintaining theDC link voltage at the capacitor terminal of DFIG convertersconstant particularly during transient state Hence it helps inimproving the dynamic stability of the overall system
33 Behavior of Mechanical and Electrical System with theVariation in Rotor Speed during Faults The mechanical toelectrical relationship is explained as followsThe rotor speedcan be expressed as
120596119903 = (1 minus 119904) 120596119904 = 119901120578120596120596119905 (29)
where 119904 is slip of DFIG 119901 is pair of poles of DFIG 120578 isgear box ratio and 120596120596119905 is wind turbine speed With thechange in wind speed and depending on gears ratio andnumber of field poles how the rotor speed varies is shown
in (27) When rotor speed varies reference quadrature axiscurrent changes thereby current flow in the rotor circuitvaries The stator output also varies with variation in windturbine speed and DFIG output power When slip varies thevoltage in rotor circuit also varies which can be explainedas per (6) and (7) Further change in rotor voltage leadsto change in rotor current thereby rotor power flow alsovaries When a disturbance like symmetrical fault occursrotor speed increases so as to compensate the change inelectrical power and the mechanical power During faultsrotor of DFIG tries to accelerate and reaches a new operatingpoint Hence the rotor speed decreases with over voltage faultand decreases with under voltage fault This statement canbe understandable from the equal area criterion theory forelectrical machines
The mechanical turbine tip speed ratio (TSR) can bewritten in terms of radius of turbine wings (119877) angular statorspeed (120596119904) pole pairs and gear box ratio as
120582 =119877120596119904
119901120578V119908(1 minus 119904) (30)
With the increase in stator or grid frequency TSR increasesand vice versa Similarly with increase in rotor speed orwind speed TSR decreases and vice versa Hence when anelectrical system gets disturbed mechanical system also getssome turbulence and electrical tomechanical system is tightlyinterlinked The steady state behavior of overall system mustsatisfy the following relation
Δ119875 =minus119875120596119905
(1 minus 119904)minus 119875119890119898 = 0 (31)
Under normal conditions the change in turbine outputhas to be compensated by electrical power output fromDFIGOtherwise slip gets changed and thereby rotor speed changesHence with imbalance in mechanical to electrical poweroutput ratios the slip changes With the change in coefficientof power Cp the mechanical power varies The mechanicalpower changesmostly whenwind speed or air density aroundthe turbine wings changes The electrical power from DFIGchanges when mechanical power changes or rotor speedchanges or load demand from grid varies
4 Result Analysis
In this paper a general system was considered as shownin Figure 6 The DFIG is driven by a wind turbine andelectric power from the generator is pumped to the grid formeeting different loads requirement The RSC is designedwith EFOC technique to enhance operation during grid faultand has better dynamic stability features than a conventionalFOC The role of RSC is to extract maximum power fromwind turbine so the generator is made to rotate at thatoptimal speed by adjusting gear wheels between generatorand turbine shaft Another role of RSC is to improve thereactive power requirement during any abnormal situationslike undervoltage or overvoltage faults The excess reactivepower is supplied by RSC using the capacitor bank at RSCend and accuracy and fastness depend on the control strategy

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902
axis stator current 130 and 20Amps of rotor two axis currentand 110Amps of stator and rotor current under steady stateconditions respectively
As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage But during fault 119889-axis statorcurrent and 119902-axis rotor current became zero when voltagesswell occurred and 119902-axis stator current decreased to minus105Aminus95 A and minus80A when voltage increased to 13 16 and 2times and reached normal of minus140A when fault was clearedSimilarly the rotor d-axis current decreased from 125 ampsduring steady state to 100A 80A and 55A when the voltageat grid rose from 13 162 and 2 times the rated voltage becauseof an over-voltage fault In the proposed control schemeDC offset current components are eliminated by RSC controlscheme and stator currents are controlled to some extent byGSC control scheme The rotor voltage injection and currentcontrol action are as per (17) and ((19a) (19b))The rapid andenhanced reactive power control action of proposed schemehelps in improving current profile of both stator and rotorThe three-phase stator and rotor current waveforms 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rises in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(e)(i)(ii) and (iii)
The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

The overall block diagram of RSC is presented inFigure 2(a) The rotor speed is multiplied with pole numbersand is subtracted from angular grid synchronous frequencyIt is integrated and given a 90∘ phase shift to get rotor slipinjection frequency angles (120579119904) At this slip frequency RSCconverter injects current into the rotor circuit to controlthe rotor speed for optimum value and to control gridreactive powerThe stator voltagemagnitude is compared andcontrolled using PI or IMC controller to get 119902-axis currentSimilarly rotor actual speed and optimal speed reference arecontrolled using PI or IMC to get 119889-axis reference currentThey are compared with actual rotor 119889- and 119902-axis currentsand controlled with tuned PI controllers to get the rotorinjecting 119889- and 119902-axis voltages The 119889 and 119902 voltages areconverted into three-axis abc voltage by using phase lockedloop (PLL) with inverse parks transformation and are givento a PWMpulse generator for getting pulses to RSC converter
The 119889-axis decoupled voltage derivation block diagramis shown in Figure 2(b) The 119889- and 119902-axis stator flux andstator flux magnitude derivation block diagram is shown inFigure 2(c) The flux derivation technique helps in under-standing the operation of DFIG during steady state andtransient state The accuracy of system performance duringsteady state depends on accuracy of wind speed measure-ment action of pitch angle controller instantaneous values ofstator and rotor voltage current flux and other parametersThemore accurate these measurements are the more the realpower can be extracted from DFIG wind turbine systemTheequations from ((8a) and (8b)) to (11) play a vital role inunderstanding the behavior of DFIG during steady state andaccuracy of RSC control action depends on control of 119889- and119902-axis voltages

Thus rotor equivalent circuit derived from (12) is asshown in Figure 3 [11]
From equivalent circuit in Figure 3 the rotor voltageduring fault is given by
119881119903 = 119894119903119877119903 + 120590119871119903

In (15b) the first two terms on RHS determine the voltagedrop by rotor current due to passive elements and the lastterm determines the EMF induced by the stator flux
A considerable decrease in prefault steady state voltage119881119903
0119903to a certain fault voltage during a three-phase fault is
explained here However RSC converter is designed to meet119881119903
119903to match 119881119903
0119903for rotor current control and the design has
to be made for rating of only 35 of stator rated voltageThe voltage dip during fault can be adopted independentlyor in coordination by using two techniques as explainedin Figure 3
During fault at first instant Φ119904 does not fall instantly(12) as shown in the flux and voltage trajectories [27] Ifthe machine is running at super synchronous speed withslip (119904) near to minus02 pu during fault rotor speed furtherincreases based on the term (1 minus 119904) as given by (12) Theabove speed change is uncontrollable for a generator havinghigher electrical and mechanical inertia constants In orderto control the rotor current change 119881119903
119903has to be increased
Based on the first reason a voltage 119881Φ119904 has to be injected inthe feed forward path for improving the rotor dip to reach itsnear steady state value By converting (12) into a synchronousreference frame and by considering direct alignment of Φ119889119904with Φ119904 we get
119881Φ119904 = minus119871119898
119871 119904
120596Φ119889119904 (16)
The second technique for voltage increase requirementin a rotor is that dip can be compensated by replacing 119904120596119904with (120596Φ119904 minus120596) in cross coupling terms 119904120596119904119871

Figure 3 The rotor equivalent circuit
When dynamic stability has to be improved proposedtechnique controls the decrease in stator and rotor fluxmagnitude and also damps oscillations at the fault instancesTo achieve better performance during transients this paperproposes a strategy to change stator frequency referenceto zero or other values depending on type and severity ofdisturbance The accurate measurement of stator and rotorparameters like flux and current helps in achieving betterperformance during transients The DC offset stator currentreduction during transients and making the two-axis fluxand voltage trajectory circular also improves the efficacy ofthe system performance during any faults The equations(7) to (12) help in understanding DFIG behavior duringtransient conditions and accuracy of its working depends onmeasurement of rotor current and flux parameters
32 EFOC Technique The EFOC method of improving fieldflux oriented control technique helps in improving the perfor-mance of the RSC controller of DFIG during fault conditionsas described in Figure 4 The DCOC observer carries twoactions the change in flux values of stationary frame statorreferences (Φ120572119904 Φ120573119904) for tracking radius of trajectory andDCOC for offset change in stationary fluxes (Φ119889119888120572119904 Φ119889119888120573119904)during fault conditions and controlling them
There are two major controlling actions with proposedEFOC technique The first action helps in gaining the trajec-tory of a circle point and helps in reaching its pre-fault statewith the same radius and center of the circle This helps inimproving and maintaining the same rate of change in fluxcompensation even during fault without losing the stabilityThe second action helps in controlling and maintaining tonearly zero magnitude of EMF in DFIG with the action of(DC offset component) DCOC technique
Based on the above two actions if the former oneis greater with change in trajectory which generally hap-pens during disturbances from an external grid stator syn-chronous frequency flux speed (120596Φ119904) changes to synchronousgrid frequency flux (120596119904) otherwise 120596Φ119904 changes to faultangular frequency value and is injected toRSCvoltage controlloop as error compensator
The general form of speed regulation is given by

The rotating direct and quadrature reference voltages ofrotor are converted into stationary 119886119887119888 frame parameters byusing inverse parks transformation Slip frequency is used togenerate sinusoidal and cosine parameters for inverse parkstransformation
In general during fault and after fault theDC link voltageacross the capacitor at the DFIG back-to-back converterterminal falls and rises and the STATCOMhelps in improvingthe operation and assists in regaining its voltage valuerespectively to get ready for the operation during nextfault However STATCOM provides efficient support to thegrid-generator system under severe faults by fast action incontrolling reactive power flow to grid by maintaining theDC link voltage at the capacitor terminal of DFIG convertersconstant particularly during transient state Hence it helps inimproving the dynamic stability of the overall system
33 Behavior of Mechanical and Electrical System with theVariation in Rotor Speed during Faults The mechanical toelectrical relationship is explained as followsThe rotor speedcan be expressed as
120596119903 = (1 minus 119904) 120596119904 = 119901120578120596120596119905 (29)
where 119904 is slip of DFIG 119901 is pair of poles of DFIG 120578 isgear box ratio and 120596120596119905 is wind turbine speed With thechange in wind speed and depending on gears ratio andnumber of field poles how the rotor speed varies is shown
in (27) When rotor speed varies reference quadrature axiscurrent changes thereby current flow in the rotor circuitvaries The stator output also varies with variation in windturbine speed and DFIG output power When slip varies thevoltage in rotor circuit also varies which can be explainedas per (6) and (7) Further change in rotor voltage leadsto change in rotor current thereby rotor power flow alsovaries When a disturbance like symmetrical fault occursrotor speed increases so as to compensate the change inelectrical power and the mechanical power During faultsrotor of DFIG tries to accelerate and reaches a new operatingpoint Hence the rotor speed decreases with over voltage faultand decreases with under voltage fault This statement canbe understandable from the equal area criterion theory forelectrical machines
The mechanical turbine tip speed ratio (TSR) can bewritten in terms of radius of turbine wings (119877) angular statorspeed (120596119904) pole pairs and gear box ratio as
120582 =119877120596119904
119901120578V119908(1 minus 119904) (30)
With the increase in stator or grid frequency TSR increasesand vice versa Similarly with increase in rotor speed orwind speed TSR decreases and vice versa Hence when anelectrical system gets disturbed mechanical system also getssome turbulence and electrical tomechanical system is tightlyinterlinked The steady state behavior of overall system mustsatisfy the following relation
Δ119875 =minus119875120596119905
(1 minus 119904)minus 119875119890119898 = 0 (31)
Under normal conditions the change in turbine outputhas to be compensated by electrical power output fromDFIGOtherwise slip gets changed and thereby rotor speed changesHence with imbalance in mechanical to electrical poweroutput ratios the slip changes With the change in coefficientof power Cp the mechanical power varies The mechanicalpower changesmostly whenwind speed or air density aroundthe turbine wings changes The electrical power from DFIGchanges when mechanical power changes or rotor speedchanges or load demand from grid varies
4 Result Analysis
In this paper a general system was considered as shownin Figure 6 The DFIG is driven by a wind turbine andelectric power from the generator is pumped to the grid formeeting different loads requirement The RSC is designedwith EFOC technique to enhance operation during grid faultand has better dynamic stability features than a conventionalFOC The role of RSC is to extract maximum power fromwind turbine so the generator is made to rotate at thatoptimal speed by adjusting gear wheels between generatorand turbine shaft Another role of RSC is to improve thereactive power requirement during any abnormal situationslike undervoltage or overvoltage faults The excess reactivepower is supplied by RSC using the capacitor bank at RSCend and accuracy and fastness depend on the control strategy

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902
axis stator current 130 and 20Amps of rotor two axis currentand 110Amps of stator and rotor current under steady stateconditions respectively
As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

fault of very low impedance and stator fluxΦ119904 gets reduced tozero magnitudeThe decay in flux is not as rapid as in voltageand can be explained from the flux decay theorem from pastobservations and further can be explained as delay is dueto inertial time lag 120591119904 = 119871 119904119877119904 affecting the rotor inducedElectromotive Force (EMF)1198810119903 The flux during fault is givenby

Thus rotor equivalent circuit derived from (12) is asshown in Figure 3 [11]
From equivalent circuit in Figure 3 the rotor voltageduring fault is given by
119881119903 = 119894119903119877119903 + 120590119871119903

119881119903 = 119894119903119877119903 + 120590119871119903

In (15b) the first two terms on RHS determine the voltagedrop by rotor current due to passive elements and the lastterm determines the EMF induced by the stator flux
A considerable decrease in prefault steady state voltage119881119903
0119903to a certain fault voltage during a three-phase fault is
explained here However RSC converter is designed to meet119881119903
119903to match 119881119903
0119903for rotor current control and the design has
to be made for rating of only 35 of stator rated voltageThe voltage dip during fault can be adopted independentlyor in coordination by using two techniques as explainedin Figure 3
During fault at first instant Φ119904 does not fall instantly(12) as shown in the flux and voltage trajectories [27] Ifthe machine is running at super synchronous speed withslip (119904) near to minus02 pu during fault rotor speed furtherincreases based on the term (1 minus 119904) as given by (12) Theabove speed change is uncontrollable for a generator havinghigher electrical and mechanical inertia constants In orderto control the rotor current change 119881119903
119903has to be increased
Based on the first reason a voltage 119881Φ119904 has to be injected inthe feed forward path for improving the rotor dip to reach itsnear steady state value By converting (12) into a synchronousreference frame and by considering direct alignment of Φ119889119904with Φ119904 we get
119881Φ119904 = minus119871119898
119871 119904
120596Φ119889119904 (16)
The second technique for voltage increase requirementin a rotor is that dip can be compensated by replacing 119904120596119904with (120596Φ119904 minus120596) in cross coupling terms 119904120596119904119871

Figure 3 The rotor equivalent circuit
When dynamic stability has to be improved proposedtechnique controls the decrease in stator and rotor fluxmagnitude and also damps oscillations at the fault instancesTo achieve better performance during transients this paperproposes a strategy to change stator frequency referenceto zero or other values depending on type and severity ofdisturbance The accurate measurement of stator and rotorparameters like flux and current helps in achieving betterperformance during transients The DC offset stator currentreduction during transients and making the two-axis fluxand voltage trajectory circular also improves the efficacy ofthe system performance during any faults The equations(7) to (12) help in understanding DFIG behavior duringtransient conditions and accuracy of its working depends onmeasurement of rotor current and flux parameters
32 EFOC Technique The EFOC method of improving fieldflux oriented control technique helps in improving the perfor-mance of the RSC controller of DFIG during fault conditionsas described in Figure 4 The DCOC observer carries twoactions the change in flux values of stationary frame statorreferences (Φ120572119904 Φ120573119904) for tracking radius of trajectory andDCOC for offset change in stationary fluxes (Φ119889119888120572119904 Φ119889119888120573119904)during fault conditions and controlling them
There are two major controlling actions with proposedEFOC technique The first action helps in gaining the trajec-tory of a circle point and helps in reaching its pre-fault statewith the same radius and center of the circle This helps inimproving and maintaining the same rate of change in fluxcompensation even during fault without losing the stabilityThe second action helps in controlling and maintaining tonearly zero magnitude of EMF in DFIG with the action of(DC offset component) DCOC technique
Based on the above two actions if the former oneis greater with change in trajectory which generally hap-pens during disturbances from an external grid stator syn-chronous frequency flux speed (120596Φ119904) changes to synchronousgrid frequency flux (120596119904) otherwise 120596Φ119904 changes to faultangular frequency value and is injected toRSCvoltage controlloop as error compensator
The general form of speed regulation is given by
119879119890 = 119869119889120596119903
119889119905+ 119861120596119903 + 119879119897 (19a)
119879119890 = (119869119904 + 119861) 120596119903 + 119879119897 (19b)

The rotating direct and quadrature reference voltages ofrotor are converted into stationary 119886119887119888 frame parameters byusing inverse parks transformation Slip frequency is used togenerate sinusoidal and cosine parameters for inverse parkstransformation
In general during fault and after fault theDC link voltageacross the capacitor at the DFIG back-to-back converterterminal falls and rises and the STATCOMhelps in improvingthe operation and assists in regaining its voltage valuerespectively to get ready for the operation during nextfault However STATCOM provides efficient support to thegrid-generator system under severe faults by fast action incontrolling reactive power flow to grid by maintaining theDC link voltage at the capacitor terminal of DFIG convertersconstant particularly during transient state Hence it helps inimproving the dynamic stability of the overall system
33 Behavior of Mechanical and Electrical System with theVariation in Rotor Speed during Faults The mechanical toelectrical relationship is explained as followsThe rotor speedcan be expressed as
120596119903 = (1 minus 119904) 120596119904 = 119901120578120596120596119905 (29)
where 119904 is slip of DFIG 119901 is pair of poles of DFIG 120578 isgear box ratio and 120596120596119905 is wind turbine speed With thechange in wind speed and depending on gears ratio andnumber of field poles how the rotor speed varies is shown
in (27) When rotor speed varies reference quadrature axiscurrent changes thereby current flow in the rotor circuitvaries The stator output also varies with variation in windturbine speed and DFIG output power When slip varies thevoltage in rotor circuit also varies which can be explainedas per (6) and (7) Further change in rotor voltage leadsto change in rotor current thereby rotor power flow alsovaries When a disturbance like symmetrical fault occursrotor speed increases so as to compensate the change inelectrical power and the mechanical power During faultsrotor of DFIG tries to accelerate and reaches a new operatingpoint Hence the rotor speed decreases with over voltage faultand decreases with under voltage fault This statement canbe understandable from the equal area criterion theory forelectrical machines
The mechanical turbine tip speed ratio (TSR) can bewritten in terms of radius of turbine wings (119877) angular statorspeed (120596119904) pole pairs and gear box ratio as
120582 =119877120596119904
119901120578V119908(1 minus 119904) (30)
With the increase in stator or grid frequency TSR increasesand vice versa Similarly with increase in rotor speed orwind speed TSR decreases and vice versa Hence when anelectrical system gets disturbed mechanical system also getssome turbulence and electrical tomechanical system is tightlyinterlinked The steady state behavior of overall system mustsatisfy the following relation
Δ119875 =minus119875120596119905
(1 minus 119904)minus 119875119890119898 = 0 (31)
Under normal conditions the change in turbine outputhas to be compensated by electrical power output fromDFIGOtherwise slip gets changed and thereby rotor speed changesHence with imbalance in mechanical to electrical poweroutput ratios the slip changes With the change in coefficientof power Cp the mechanical power varies The mechanicalpower changesmostly whenwind speed or air density aroundthe turbine wings changes The electrical power from DFIGchanges when mechanical power changes or rotor speedchanges or load demand from grid varies
4 Result Analysis
In this paper a general system was considered as shownin Figure 6 The DFIG is driven by a wind turbine andelectric power from the generator is pumped to the grid formeeting different loads requirement The RSC is designedwith EFOC technique to enhance operation during grid faultand has better dynamic stability features than a conventionalFOC The role of RSC is to extract maximum power fromwind turbine so the generator is made to rotate at thatoptimal speed by adjusting gear wheels between generatorand turbine shaft Another role of RSC is to improve thereactive power requirement during any abnormal situationslike undervoltage or overvoltage faults The excess reactivepower is supplied by RSC using the capacitor bank at RSCend and accuracy and fastness depend on the control strategy

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902
axis stator current 130 and 20Amps of rotor two axis currentand 110Amps of stator and rotor current under steady stateconditions respectively
As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

Figure 3 The rotor equivalent circuit
When dynamic stability has to be improved proposedtechnique controls the decrease in stator and rotor fluxmagnitude and also damps oscillations at the fault instancesTo achieve better performance during transients this paperproposes a strategy to change stator frequency referenceto zero or other values depending on type and severity ofdisturbance The accurate measurement of stator and rotorparameters like flux and current helps in achieving betterperformance during transients The DC offset stator currentreduction during transients and making the two-axis fluxand voltage trajectory circular also improves the efficacy ofthe system performance during any faults The equations(7) to (12) help in understanding DFIG behavior duringtransient conditions and accuracy of its working depends onmeasurement of rotor current and flux parameters
32 EFOC Technique The EFOC method of improving fieldflux oriented control technique helps in improving the perfor-mance of the RSC controller of DFIG during fault conditionsas described in Figure 4 The DCOC observer carries twoactions the change in flux values of stationary frame statorreferences (Φ120572119904 Φ120573119904) for tracking radius of trajectory andDCOC for offset change in stationary fluxes (Φ119889119888120572119904 Φ119889119888120573119904)during fault conditions and controlling them
There are two major controlling actions with proposedEFOC technique The first action helps in gaining the trajec-tory of a circle point and helps in reaching its pre-fault statewith the same radius and center of the circle This helps inimproving and maintaining the same rate of change in fluxcompensation even during fault without losing the stabilityThe second action helps in controlling and maintaining tonearly zero magnitude of EMF in DFIG with the action of(DC offset component) DCOC technique
Based on the above two actions if the former oneis greater with change in trajectory which generally hap-pens during disturbances from an external grid stator syn-chronous frequency flux speed (120596Φ119904) changes to synchronousgrid frequency flux (120596119904) otherwise 120596Φ119904 changes to faultangular frequency value and is injected toRSCvoltage controlloop as error compensator
The general form of speed regulation is given by
119879119890 = 119869119889120596119903
119889119905+ 119861120596119903 + 119879119897 (19a)

The rotating direct and quadrature reference voltages ofrotor are converted into stationary 119886119887119888 frame parameters byusing inverse parks transformation Slip frequency is used togenerate sinusoidal and cosine parameters for inverse parkstransformation
In general during fault and after fault theDC link voltageacross the capacitor at the DFIG back-to-back converterterminal falls and rises and the STATCOMhelps in improvingthe operation and assists in regaining its voltage valuerespectively to get ready for the operation during nextfault However STATCOM provides efficient support to thegrid-generator system under severe faults by fast action incontrolling reactive power flow to grid by maintaining theDC link voltage at the capacitor terminal of DFIG convertersconstant particularly during transient state Hence it helps inimproving the dynamic stability of the overall system
33 Behavior of Mechanical and Electrical System with theVariation in Rotor Speed during Faults The mechanical toelectrical relationship is explained as followsThe rotor speedcan be expressed as
120596119903 = (1 minus 119904) 120596119904 = 119901120578120596120596119905 (29)
where 119904 is slip of DFIG 119901 is pair of poles of DFIG 120578 isgear box ratio and 120596120596119905 is wind turbine speed With thechange in wind speed and depending on gears ratio andnumber of field poles how the rotor speed varies is shown
in (27) When rotor speed varies reference quadrature axiscurrent changes thereby current flow in the rotor circuitvaries The stator output also varies with variation in windturbine speed and DFIG output power When slip varies thevoltage in rotor circuit also varies which can be explainedas per (6) and (7) Further change in rotor voltage leadsto change in rotor current thereby rotor power flow alsovaries When a disturbance like symmetrical fault occursrotor speed increases so as to compensate the change inelectrical power and the mechanical power During faultsrotor of DFIG tries to accelerate and reaches a new operatingpoint Hence the rotor speed decreases with over voltage faultand decreases with under voltage fault This statement canbe understandable from the equal area criterion theory forelectrical machines
The mechanical turbine tip speed ratio (TSR) can bewritten in terms of radius of turbine wings (119877) angular statorspeed (120596119904) pole pairs and gear box ratio as
120582 =119877120596119904
119901120578V119908(1 minus 119904) (30)
With the increase in stator or grid frequency TSR increasesand vice versa Similarly with increase in rotor speed orwind speed TSR decreases and vice versa Hence when anelectrical system gets disturbed mechanical system also getssome turbulence and electrical tomechanical system is tightlyinterlinked The steady state behavior of overall system mustsatisfy the following relation
Δ119875 =minus119875120596119905
(1 minus 119904)minus 119875119890119898 = 0 (31)
Under normal conditions the change in turbine outputhas to be compensated by electrical power output fromDFIGOtherwise slip gets changed and thereby rotor speed changesHence with imbalance in mechanical to electrical poweroutput ratios the slip changes With the change in coefficientof power Cp the mechanical power varies The mechanicalpower changesmostly whenwind speed or air density aroundthe turbine wings changes The electrical power from DFIGchanges when mechanical power changes or rotor speedchanges or load demand from grid varies
4 Result Analysis
In this paper a general system was considered as shownin Figure 6 The DFIG is driven by a wind turbine andelectric power from the generator is pumped to the grid formeeting different loads requirement The RSC is designedwith EFOC technique to enhance operation during grid faultand has better dynamic stability features than a conventionalFOC The role of RSC is to extract maximum power fromwind turbine so the generator is made to rotate at thatoptimal speed by adjusting gear wheels between generatorand turbine shaft Another role of RSC is to improve thereactive power requirement during any abnormal situationslike undervoltage or overvoltage faults The excess reactivepower is supplied by RSC using the capacitor bank at RSCend and accuracy and fastness depend on the control strategy

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902
axis stator current 130 and 20Amps of rotor two axis currentand 110Amps of stator and rotor current under steady stateconditions respectively
As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

The rotating direct and quadrature reference voltages ofrotor are converted into stationary 119886119887119888 frame parameters byusing inverse parks transformation Slip frequency is used togenerate sinusoidal and cosine parameters for inverse parkstransformation
In general during fault and after fault theDC link voltageacross the capacitor at the DFIG back-to-back converterterminal falls and rises and the STATCOMhelps in improvingthe operation and assists in regaining its voltage valuerespectively to get ready for the operation during nextfault However STATCOM provides efficient support to thegrid-generator system under severe faults by fast action incontrolling reactive power flow to grid by maintaining theDC link voltage at the capacitor terminal of DFIG convertersconstant particularly during transient state Hence it helps inimproving the dynamic stability of the overall system
33 Behavior of Mechanical and Electrical System with theVariation in Rotor Speed during Faults The mechanical toelectrical relationship is explained as followsThe rotor speedcan be expressed as
120596119903 = (1 minus 119904) 120596119904 = 119901120578120596120596119905 (29)
where 119904 is slip of DFIG 119901 is pair of poles of DFIG 120578 isgear box ratio and 120596120596119905 is wind turbine speed With thechange in wind speed and depending on gears ratio andnumber of field poles how the rotor speed varies is shown
in (27) When rotor speed varies reference quadrature axiscurrent changes thereby current flow in the rotor circuitvaries The stator output also varies with variation in windturbine speed and DFIG output power When slip varies thevoltage in rotor circuit also varies which can be explainedas per (6) and (7) Further change in rotor voltage leadsto change in rotor current thereby rotor power flow alsovaries When a disturbance like symmetrical fault occursrotor speed increases so as to compensate the change inelectrical power and the mechanical power During faultsrotor of DFIG tries to accelerate and reaches a new operatingpoint Hence the rotor speed decreases with over voltage faultand decreases with under voltage fault This statement canbe understandable from the equal area criterion theory forelectrical machines
The mechanical turbine tip speed ratio (TSR) can bewritten in terms of radius of turbine wings (119877) angular statorspeed (120596119904) pole pairs and gear box ratio as
120582 =119877120596119904
119901120578V119908(1 minus 119904) (30)
With the increase in stator or grid frequency TSR increasesand vice versa Similarly with increase in rotor speed orwind speed TSR decreases and vice versa Hence when anelectrical system gets disturbed mechanical system also getssome turbulence and electrical tomechanical system is tightlyinterlinked The steady state behavior of overall system mustsatisfy the following relation
Δ119875 =minus119875120596119905
(1 minus 119904)minus 119875119890119898 = 0 (31)
Under normal conditions the change in turbine outputhas to be compensated by electrical power output fromDFIGOtherwise slip gets changed and thereby rotor speed changesHence with imbalance in mechanical to electrical poweroutput ratios the slip changes With the change in coefficientof power Cp the mechanical power varies The mechanicalpower changesmostly whenwind speed or air density aroundthe turbine wings changes The electrical power from DFIGchanges when mechanical power changes or rotor speedchanges or load demand from grid varies
4 Result Analysis
In this paper a general system was considered as shownin Figure 6 The DFIG is driven by a wind turbine andelectric power from the generator is pumped to the grid formeeting different loads requirement The RSC is designedwith EFOC technique to enhance operation during grid faultand has better dynamic stability features than a conventionalFOC The role of RSC is to extract maximum power fromwind turbine so the generator is made to rotate at thatoptimal speed by adjusting gear wheels between generatorand turbine shaft Another role of RSC is to improve thereactive power requirement during any abnormal situationslike undervoltage or overvoltage faults The excess reactivepower is supplied by RSC using the capacitor bank at RSCend and accuracy and fastness depend on the control strategy

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902
axis stator current 130 and 20Amps of rotor two axis currentand 110Amps of stator and rotor current under steady stateconditions respectively
As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage But during fault 119889-axis statorcurrent and 119902-axis rotor current became zero when voltagesswell occurred and 119902-axis stator current decreased to minus105Aminus95 A and minus80A when voltage increased to 13 16 and 2times and reached normal of minus140A when fault was clearedSimilarly the rotor d-axis current decreased from 125 ampsduring steady state to 100A 80A and 55A when the voltageat grid rose from 13 162 and 2 times the rated voltage becauseof an over-voltage fault In the proposed control schemeDC offset current components are eliminated by RSC controlscheme and stator currents are controlled to some extent byGSC control scheme The rotor voltage injection and currentcontrol action are as per (17) and ((19a) (19b))The rapid andenhanced reactive power control action of proposed schemehelps in improving current profile of both stator and rotorThe three-phase stator and rotor current waveforms 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rises in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(e)(i)(ii) and (iii)
The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

The rotating direct and quadrature reference voltages ofrotor are converted into stationary 119886119887119888 frame parameters byusing inverse parks transformation Slip frequency is used togenerate sinusoidal and cosine parameters for inverse parkstransformation
In general during fault and after fault theDC link voltageacross the capacitor at the DFIG back-to-back converterterminal falls and rises and the STATCOMhelps in improvingthe operation and assists in regaining its voltage valuerespectively to get ready for the operation during nextfault However STATCOM provides efficient support to thegrid-generator system under severe faults by fast action incontrolling reactive power flow to grid by maintaining theDC link voltage at the capacitor terminal of DFIG convertersconstant particularly during transient state Hence it helps inimproving the dynamic stability of the overall system
33 Behavior of Mechanical and Electrical System with theVariation in Rotor Speed during Faults The mechanical toelectrical relationship is explained as followsThe rotor speedcan be expressed as
120596119903 = (1 minus 119904) 120596119904 = 119901120578120596120596119905 (29)
where 119904 is slip of DFIG 119901 is pair of poles of DFIG 120578 isgear box ratio and 120596120596119905 is wind turbine speed With thechange in wind speed and depending on gears ratio andnumber of field poles how the rotor speed varies is shown
in (27) When rotor speed varies reference quadrature axiscurrent changes thereby current flow in the rotor circuitvaries The stator output also varies with variation in windturbine speed and DFIG output power When slip varies thevoltage in rotor circuit also varies which can be explainedas per (6) and (7) Further change in rotor voltage leadsto change in rotor current thereby rotor power flow alsovaries When a disturbance like symmetrical fault occursrotor speed increases so as to compensate the change inelectrical power and the mechanical power During faultsrotor of DFIG tries to accelerate and reaches a new operatingpoint Hence the rotor speed decreases with over voltage faultand decreases with under voltage fault This statement canbe understandable from the equal area criterion theory forelectrical machines
The mechanical turbine tip speed ratio (TSR) can bewritten in terms of radius of turbine wings (119877) angular statorspeed (120596119904) pole pairs and gear box ratio as
120582 =119877120596119904
119901120578V119908(1 minus 119904) (30)
With the increase in stator or grid frequency TSR increasesand vice versa Similarly with increase in rotor speed orwind speed TSR decreases and vice versa Hence when anelectrical system gets disturbed mechanical system also getssome turbulence and electrical tomechanical system is tightlyinterlinked The steady state behavior of overall system mustsatisfy the following relation
Δ119875 =minus119875120596119905
(1 minus 119904)minus 119875119890119898 = 0 (31)
Under normal conditions the change in turbine outputhas to be compensated by electrical power output fromDFIGOtherwise slip gets changed and thereby rotor speed changesHence with imbalance in mechanical to electrical poweroutput ratios the slip changes With the change in coefficientof power Cp the mechanical power varies The mechanicalpower changesmostly whenwind speed or air density aroundthe turbine wings changes The electrical power from DFIGchanges when mechanical power changes or rotor speedchanges or load demand from grid varies
4 Result Analysis
In this paper a general system was considered as shownin Figure 6 The DFIG is driven by a wind turbine andelectric power from the generator is pumped to the grid formeeting different loads requirement The RSC is designedwith EFOC technique to enhance operation during grid faultand has better dynamic stability features than a conventionalFOC The role of RSC is to extract maximum power fromwind turbine so the generator is made to rotate at thatoptimal speed by adjusting gear wheels between generatorand turbine shaft Another role of RSC is to improve thereactive power requirement during any abnormal situationslike undervoltage or overvoltage faults The excess reactivepower is supplied by RSC using the capacitor bank at RSCend and accuracy and fastness depend on the control strategy

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902
axis stator current 130 and 20Amps of rotor two axis currentand 110Amps of stator and rotor current under steady stateconditions respectively
As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

Figure 6 Grid connected DFIG showing the location of overvoltage fault
The GSC of DFIG has twomain functions One function is tomaintain nearly constant voltage profile at DC link capacitorso that voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) will alsohave the same valueThe other function is to supply or absorbrapidly required reactive power The GSC is also designedto bypass surge current to the converter terminal and storein capacitor bank and to reinject the excess power whenfault gets relieved In doing so the fault current cannot reachstator and rotor and as a consequence GSC protects the twowindings of the generator
For the system in Figure 6 voltage swell is expectedduring the time 08 to 12 seconds Swell in voltage occurswhen generation is more than load or when a big loadis switched off or during lightning In this grid voltageelectromagnetic torque speed stator and rotor two-axisfluxes and current and three-phase stator and rotor currentare analyzed and compared when grid voltage rises to 13162 and 2 times the rated voltage The results with HVRTcan be compared with [1 2] for the performance when 13times increase in grid voltage The rated grid voltage is 270volts electromagnetic torque (EMT) is minus200Nm 2660 rpmspeed 005 and minus075 Weber of stator 119889- and 119902-axis flux 051and minus055Wb of rotor flux minus40 and minus142Amps of 119889 and 119902
axis stator current 130 and 20Amps of rotor two axis currentand 110Amps of stator and rotor current under steady stateconditions respectively
As shown in Figure 7(a)(i) the grid voltage has beenincreased from 270 volts to 350 volts which are 13 times therated voltage and 437 voltsrsquo and 540 voltsrsquo rises during 08 to12 seconds are shown in Figure 7(a)(ii) and (iii) For all thethree rises in voltage behavior of DFIG is analyzed As permodern grid codes DFIG needs to be in synchronism for13 timesrsquo rise in voltage but the proposed system is analyzedwith twice the rise in voltage
With increase in voltage to 13 162 and 2 times thechanges in stator and rotor 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are shown inFigure 7(b)(i) (ii) and (iii) A sudden increase in grid voltageleads to large inrush current into the stator and rotor initiallyAs a result active power from rotor also increases and reachesthe DC link capacitor Since GSC is of very low rating (35 ofrated machine rating) it is not having that ability to transfercurrent to grid [2 16 17] Hence in this case DC capacitorrating if not high enough will get damaged and overall thesystem will lose ride through capability In our proposed
theory as explained in Section 31 the change in flux withDCoffset components and change in speed is detected initiallyThe flux is controlled by selecting a new rotor speed andthe flux further controls the change in voltage and currentin rotor circuit by RSC control scheme as explained inflowchart Thereby damping of oscillations is eliminated andstability can be enhanced The more voltage changes themore magnitude of 119902-axis flux will be produced and 119889-axisflux will be reduced because flux linkage is proportionalto stator and rotor voltages When voltage is increased to13 times in Figure 7(a)(i) 119902-axis stator flux changed fromminus075 to minus09Wb during fault and reaches again minus075WbThe rotor 119902-axis flux is varied from prefault of minus055Wb tominus09Wb during fault at 08 s and reaches its prefault whenfault was cleared at 12 s In the same way 119902-axis statorflux changed to minus11 and minus14Wb with 1 and 2 oscillationsand 119902-axis rotor flux change is minus1 and minus145Wb for voltagerise of 162 and 2 times with much controlled oscillationsas shown in Figure 7(b)(ii) and (iii) Even with voltage riseof two times also system is highly stable with sustainedoscillations in fluxes The result from proposed scheme hasbetter performance than the results obtained from [1ndash8] withadditional FACTS devices
With 13 times rise in voltage as shown in Figure 7(c)(i)torque rises from minus200Nm to minus380Nm when fault startedand was maintained to minus200Nm during fault and reachednormal valuewhen fault was cleared Speed of rotor decreasedto 2400 rpm from 2660 rpm and was maintained at the samespeed during fault and reached its prefault state when faultwas cleared From (9a) and (9b) when flux and currentincrease torquewill also increase Butwith sustained increasein stator and rotor 119902-axis flux and decrease in 119889-axis fluxwith enhanced flux control scheme in RSC helps in reachingits prefault state torque value Since flux is having very lessoscillations torque is also having limited oscillations Withchange in voltage to 162 and 2 times surge in torque isnearly minus580Nm and minus1000Nm when fault was initiated asin Figure 7(c)(ii) and (iii) It is due to surge increase inmagnitude of stator and rotor 119902-axis fluxes
The 119889-axis stator surge current increased in magnitudefrom minus40A to minus90A minus150A and minus220A during voltageincrease to 13 162 and 2 times as shown in Figure 7(d)(i iiand iii) when fault startedThe 119902-axis stator current increasedfrom minus140A to minus180 minus200 and minus220A during 13 162 and

2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage But during fault 119889-axis statorcurrent and 119902-axis rotor current became zero when voltagesswell occurred and 119902-axis stator current decreased to minus105Aminus95 A and minus80A when voltage increased to 13 16 and 2times and reached normal of minus140A when fault was clearedSimilarly the rotor d-axis current decreased from 125 ampsduring steady state to 100A 80A and 55A when the voltageat grid rose from 13 162 and 2 times the rated voltage becauseof an over-voltage fault In the proposed control schemeDC offset current components are eliminated by RSC controlscheme and stator currents are controlled to some extent byGSC control scheme The rotor voltage injection and currentcontrol action are as per (17) and ((19a) (19b))The rapid andenhanced reactive power control action of proposed schemehelps in improving current profile of both stator and rotorThe three-phase stator and rotor current waveforms 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rises in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(e)(i)(ii) and (iii)
The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage But during fault 119889-axis statorcurrent and 119902-axis rotor current became zero when voltagesswell occurred and 119902-axis stator current decreased to minus105Aminus95 A and minus80A when voltage increased to 13 16 and 2times and reached normal of minus140A when fault was clearedSimilarly the rotor d-axis current decreased from 125 ampsduring steady state to 100A 80A and 55A when the voltageat grid rose from 13 162 and 2 times the rated voltage becauseof an over-voltage fault In the proposed control schemeDC offset current components are eliminated by RSC controlscheme and stator currents are controlled to some extent byGSC control scheme The rotor voltage injection and currentcontrol action are as per (17) and ((19a) (19b))The rapid andenhanced reactive power control action of proposed schemehelps in improving current profile of both stator and rotorThe three-phase stator and rotor current waveforms 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rises in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(e)(i)(ii) and (iii)
The stator 119889119902-axis flux patterns under 13 162 and 2timesrsquo rise in grid voltage are shown in Figure 7(f)(i) (ii)and (iii) The graph initially started at 00-axis and slowlyincreases in magnitude to the right hand side with positive119889-axis and negative 119902-axis and in a clockwise spiral wayreached a small circle during steady state When there isa change in grid voltage due to corresponding change instator 119889- and 119902-axis flux linear graph as in Figure 7(b) therelative graph is in Figure 7(f) Due to overvoltage of 13times another circle away from small circle initiated andreaches the plane [025 minus115] and then stabilises at [005minus095] coordinates during fault When fault was cleared thenew coordinate is [minus025 minus055] and reached the same oldsmall circleThe same explanationwith change in coordinatesholds well for 162 and 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltage How-ever pattern nearly remained the same with the change incoordinates
The rotor flux path pattern for 119889119902-axis during 13 162and 2 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage is shown in Figure 7(g)(iii and iii) Initially the 119889119902-axis plane starts at [0 0] Slowlywith increase in time the flux pattern in clockwise directionreaches the small upper circle shown in Figure 7(g)(i) Itremained in this point till steady state is maintained Whenan overvoltage occurred the pattern changes its position at[minus065 minus035] at 12 s and later in short time reached [02minus09] at 122 s for 13 timesrsquo increase in voltage and continuedto be in the big lower circle For more severe fault moremagnitude of voltage is changed Hence flux 119889- and 119902-axiscomponents also increase and the patterns for 162 and 2times are shown in Figure 7(f)(ii and iii)
Table 1 gives a detailed picture of parameter variationunder steady state at the instant of fault with surge valueand during the fault Under normal conditions grid voltage is270Vwhen voltage rised to 13 16 and 2 times the respectivevoltages are 350 437 and 540 volts The electromagnetictorque (EMT) during steady state is minus220Nm at the instantwhen voltage rised to 13 times a surge of minus380Nm wasproduced and during the fault it was again minus200Nm In asimilar way the steady state stator119889- and 119902-axis flux inwebersare 008 and minus075 At the instant of voltage rise to 13 timesstator 119889- and 119902-axis fluxes are 015 and minus1Wb and reach 0 andminus08Wbduring the faultThe same explanation holds well forother parameters
5 Conclusion

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

voltage levels will also increase With increase in voltage 119889-axis stator and rotor flux decrease and 119902-axis stator and rotorflux increaseThe electromagnetic torque (EMT) of generatorincreases to small quantity and speed decreases with increasein grid voltage119889- and 119902-axis stator and rotor current decreaseto a value depending on the swell in voltage As per moderngrid codes for the countries like Australia and Spain theDFIG system must remain in synchronism with voltage upto 13 times occurring at grid This is called high voltage faultride through (HVRT)
In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine

In this paper the performance of DFIG with EFOCtechnique during overvoltage was studied under three casesIn the first case an overvoltage of 13 times the ratedvoltage at grid occurred between 08 and 12 seconds In theother two cases with the same fault instant but with faultmagnitude of 162 and 2 times occur at grid Comparing theproposed enhanced field oriented control (EFOC) schemewith previous works there is a significant reduction in thesurges in electromagnetic torque at the instants of faultoccurring or clearing With 2 times the rated voltage thetorque magnitude is constant and the value is nearly same asthe pre-fault condition The oscillations at fault instants arecompletely eliminated with proposed EFOC As a result ofthis synchronism is maintained and hence overall stabilitywas improved even for 2 timesrsquo increase in grid voltageThe DC offset component of flux is controlled by proposedsystem Here the flux in stator and rotor is maintained toa point so that sustained oscillations are damped with lowmagnitude and with quick settling time In the conventionalsystem with HVRT stator and rotor current decay to a verysmall value during fault It will take more time to reachits prefault condition after disturbance for DFIG systemwith conventional technique But for our EFOC based DFIG
WECS stator and rotor currents remain almost constant for13 timesrsquo rise in grid voltage
Thus proposed system follows modern grid codes verystrictly and can sustain to severe overvoltage issues easily Atpresent meeting grid code for 13 timesrsquo swell is sufficientWith the proposed strategy the system can easily withstandup to 2 times the swell fault without external devices orincreased converter ratings This paper describes the exactbehavior of DFIG system during HVRT using analyticsand MATLAB based simulation The behavior of DFIG-gridconnected system with EFOC technique is suitable for thesystem where grid voltage swell faults are most common Itdoes not require any additional reactive power sources likeFACTS devices or energy storage devices A conventionalcontroller like PI with fast acting relay and converters areneeded for RSC and GSC to enhance the system behaviorduring HVRT for proposed EFOC technique
With the proposed control strategy smooth transition inelectromagnetic torque is achieved during symmetrical faultbased transient state of drop in grid voltage and restoring ispossible The dynamic stability of DFIG was improved andthereby mitigation of generator stator and rotor voltages andcurrent is superior with EFOC fuzzy technique The outputpower fromgenerator is better in damping the transient statorflux This is possible by changing the reference flux referencevalue by choosing particular stator flux (120582119904) value Otherwiseovercurrent in rotor winding makes the system performanceand longevity degrade under these situations
Hence with the proposed EFOC fuzzy technique a con-trol over stator transient flux is possible so as to suppress rotorcurrent surges and help in achieving better LVRT operatingcharacteristics EMT is smooth with suppressed oscillationsand thereby prolongs the lifetime of the generator turbine
