| Summary: | Various challenges are acknowledged in practical cases with high wind power penetration. Fault ride-through (FRT) capability has become the most dominant grid integration requirements for the wind energy conversion system worldwide. The high voltage ride-through (HVRT) and low voltage ride-through (LVRT) performance play a vital role in the grid-friendly integration into the system. In this paper, a coordinated HVRT and LVRT control strategy is proposed to enhance the FRT capability of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbine generators (WTG). A dual-mode chopper protection is developed to avoid DC-link overvoltage, and a deadband protection is proposed to prevent oscillations under edge voltage conditions. The proposed strategy can ride through different levels of voltage sags or swells and provide auxiliary dynamic reactive power support simultaneously. The performance of the proposed control scheme is validated through various comparison case tests in PSCAD/EMTDC.
