Abstract-The number of doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) connected to the existing network has increased significantly worldwide during the last two decades. This triggers off manufactures to improve the performance of DFIG through robust and reliable design. The stator in DFIG is directly connected to the grid whereas the rotor is interfaced to the grid through two voltage source converters; rotor side converter (RSC) and grid side converter (GSC), which are considered as the crux of the DFIG system. The converter stations determine the ability of wind turbine to operate optimally during wind speed fluctuation and it can provide reactive power support to the grid during grid disturbance events. The DC capacitor link between the two converters allows optimum and smooth power exchange between DFIG and the grid. Therefore, any faults within the DC link will affect the overall performance of the DFIG. This paper investigates the impact of open circuit and short circuit faults in the DC link capacitor on the dynamic performance of the DFIG. The compliance of the wind energy conversion (WEC) system with different grid codes such as those of Denmark, Spain, Nordic and Sweden under such faults is also investigated.

“…Generally, output quality requirements of grid side are much stricter than those of the generator side [36], [62]. To adapt this unsymmetrical requirements for wind power converters, this "compound" configuration employs 3L-NPC topology on the generator side, and 5L-HB topology on the grid side to achieve an unsymmetrical performances, as shown in Fig.…”

-The electrical energy consumption continues to grow and more applications will be based on electricity in the next decades. We can expect that more 60 % of all energy consumption will be converted and used as electricity. It is a demand that production, distribution and use of electrical energy are done as efficiently as possible. Further, emerging climate changes argues to find future solutions which also are sustainable. Two major technologies will play important roles to solve parts of those future problems. One is the change the electrical power production from conventional, fossil (and short term) based energy sources to renewable energy sources. Another is to use power electronics to achieve high efficiency in power generation, transmission/distribution and utilization. This paper discuss trends of the most promising renewable energy sources, wind energy, which ,integrated with power electronics, is changing the future electrical infrastructure and also contributes steadily to non-carbon based electricity production. The paper's focus is on the power electronics technologies used in wind turbine systems.

The substantial increase in new integration of wind power has required changes in grid codes to ensure grid security. Providing low voltage ride through (LVRT) protection helps to sustain the transient conditions without tripping and supports its recovery post-fault. The grid codes for LVRT capability in countries with substantial wind capacity are surveyed in this paper. The challenges that arise, endangering the grid security due to the nonimplementation of these grid codes in the wind turbines (WT) which were preinstalled before the mandatory grid code was established is rarely a topic focused in literature. The LVRT capability requirement as per the wind turbine type classification is elucidated. The challenges due to enhancement and upgradation of technology include financial constraints for additional LVRT fittings, planning and renovation. Discussion and prognosis on the challenges provide direction for investigation and research.
