Therefore, this paper proposes a noncontrolled fault current limiter (NCFCL) with reactive power support for transient stability improvement of DFIG-based WTSs under grid faults. The proposed NCFCL is based on a nonsuperconducting reactor located in the rotor side. The NCFCL considerably limits the rotor and stator overcurrents and improves the transient stability of the doubly fed induction generator (DIFG). In addition, the proposed strategy reduces DC-link overvoltage and electromagnetic torque oscillations and also provides reactive power to the grid to support the grid voltage recovery. In this way, the fault ride-through (FRT) requirements of the latest grid codes can be fulfilled without affecting the DFIG stability in normal operation. Simulation studies using MATLAB/Simulink-2019a are performed on a 2-MW DFIG-based WTS to confirm the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed FRT strategy. Simulation results reveal that the proposed strategy provides better performance compared to the crowbar protection to improve the FRT capability. {\textcopyright} 2021 John Wiley \& Sons Ltd.}, keywords = {Asynchronous generators, Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), Electric equipment protection, Electric power system stability, Electric power transmission networks, Electromagnetic torques, Fault current limiters, Fault ride-through (FRT), MATLAB, Power quality, Reactive power, Reactive power support, Simulation studies, Stability, Transient stability improvement, Transients, Variable speed wind generator, Wind turbine systems}, doi = {10.1002/2050-7038.12955}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85106339133\&doi=10.1002\%2f2050-7038.12955\&partnerID=40\&md5=0d56eb902eaedec23510576c443fc7a3}, author = {Fdaili, M. and Essadki, A. and Kharchouf, I. and Nasser, T.} } @article {Laghridat2020, title = {A Novel Adaptive Active Disturbance Rejection Control Strategy to Improve the Stability and Robustness for a Wind Turbine Using a Doubly Fed Induction Generator}, journal = {Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {2020}, year = {2020}, note = {cited By 8}, abstract = {A novel and robust active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) strategy for variable speed wind turbine systems using a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is presented in this paper. The DFIG is directly connected to the main utility grid by stator, and its rotor is connected through a back-to-back three phase power converter (AC/DC/AC). Due to the acoustic nature of wind and to ensure capturing maximum energy, a control strategy to extract the available maximum power from the wind turbine by using a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is presented. Moreover, a pitch actuator system is used to control the blades{\textquoteright} pitch angle of the wind turbine in order to not exceed the wind turbine rated power value in case of strong wind speeds. Furthermore, the rotor-side converter is used to control the active and reactive powers generated by the DFIG. However, the grid-side converter is used to control the currents injected into the utility grid as well as to regulate the DC-link voltage. This paper aims to study and develop two control strategies for wind turbine system control: Classical control by proportional integral (PI) and the proposed linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC). The main purpose here is to compare and evaluate the dynamical performances and sensitivity of these controllers to the DFIG parameter variation. Therefore, a series of simulations were carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the obtained results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed strategy in terms of efficiency, rapidity, and robustness to internal and external disturbances. {\textcopyright} 2020 Hammadi Laghridat et al.}, keywords = {AC-AC power converters, Active disturbance rejection controls, Asynchronous generators, Disturbance rejection, Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), Doubly fed induction generators, Electric fault currents, Electric machine control, Linear active disturbance rejection controls, MATLAB, MATLAB/Simulink environment, Maximum power point trackers, Maximum Power Point Tracking, Robustness (control systems), Sensitivity analysis, Three-phase power converter, Two term control systems, Variable speed wind turbines, Wind turbines}, doi = {10.1155/2020/9847628}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85083628356\&doi=10.1155\%2f2020\%2f9847628\&partnerID=40\&md5=b2314c4d19e3bac9f4e6e82dcf54f954}, author = {Laghridat, H. and Essadki, A. and Annoukoubi, M. and Nasser, T.} } @conference {Arbaoui2018, title = {A New Robust Control by Active Disturbance Rejection Control Applied on Wind Turbine System Based on Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 2017 International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference, IRSEC 2017}, year = {2018}, doi = {10.1109/IRSEC.2017.8477245}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85055879902\&doi=10.1109\%2fIRSEC.2017.8477245\&partnerID=40\&md5=6afbcf7b5f6cadf726b9ad8f5f892989}, author = {Arbaoui, M. and Essadki, A. and Kharchouf, I. and Nasser, T.} } @conference {Douiri2011, title = {A neuro fuzzy PI controller used for speed control of a direct torque to twelve sectors controlled induction machine drive}, booktitle = {International Conference on Multimedia Computing and Systems -Proceedings}, year = {2011}, note = {cited By 4}, doi = {10.1109/ICMCS.2011.5945686}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79961222052\&doi=10.1109\%2fICMCS.2011.5945686\&partnerID=40\&md5=14b83e291be8c3d053a918bfeceefbcd}, author = {Douiri, M.R. and Cherkaoui, M. and Nasser, T. and Essadki, A.} }
