| Summary: | Voltage source (VS) control based on inertia synchronization is a novel phase lock loop (PLL)-less autonomous grid-synchronization control strategy suitable for the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbine. It can autonomously sense grid frequency fluctuations by adopting the dynamics of DC-link capacitor, and it has the advantage of stable operation in an extremely weak grid. This paper further studies the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) of the PMSG-based wind turbine under the VS control, and presents a wind turbine structure with the additional energy storage battery on the DC side, which not only improves its LVRT capability but also enables the wind turbine to participate in the grid primary frequency regulation. The transient characteristics of VS-controlled wind turbines after the occurrence of the short-circuit fault are analyzed, and a current suppression strategy via switching the virtual resistor in the control loop of the grid-side converter (GCS) is presented. Through coordination with the energy storage battery, the LVRT of the PMSG-based wind turbine is realized, which has the advantage of withstanding a long-time short-circuit fault. Finally, based on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform, the feasibility of the control strategy and the correctness of the theoretical analysis are verified.
