DFIG Wind Turbine Fault Ride-Through Simulink Model
DFIG fault ride-through studies examine whether a wind turbine remains connected and controlled during grid-voltage disturbances. A strong Simulink study combines the machine, converters, protection and grid fault in one repeatable scenario.
Research problem
During a voltage dip, stator-flux transients can create large rotor currents and DC-link stress. The control and protection strategy must limit these quantities while providing the reactive-current response required by the study or grid code.
Model architecture
Include the aerodynamic turbine, DFIG machine, rotor-side converter, grid-side converter, DC link, transformer, grid, crowbar or alternative protection and voltage-dip source. Keep the pre-fault operating point documented.
Fault ride-through methodology
Apply a defined three-phase or asymmetrical voltage sag, record pre-fault/fault/post-fault intervals, and compare a baseline controller against the proposed LVRT strategy. Use identical fault depth and duration for every case.
Plots to report
Useful results include PCC voltage, stator/rotor currents, DC-link voltage, active/reactive power, electromagnetic torque, rotor speed and controller/protection status.

Frequently asked questions
Low-voltage ride-through is the ability to stay connected through a specified voltage dip while keeping electrical and converter stresses within acceptable limits.
It is a common baseline, but research can compare crowbar protection with coordinated converter control, DC choppers or other FRT strategies.
