Abstract

The use of doubly fed induction generator in wind

power plants has result in new necessities to maintain a reliable

operation of the network. The tendency of the grid codes is to

require the ability from the wind power plant to keep connected

during and after grid disturbance, similarly to the synchronous

generators requirements. This paper analyse the behaviour of a

wind power plant equipped with doubly fed induction

generators connected to a transmission system during grid fault

and compare its performance with a conventional synchronous

generator based power plant. The results have shown that the

conventional synchronous generator has much more effective

injection of reactive power during grid fault and, by

consequence, the terminal voltage is kept in higher levels.
