Practical calculation of asymmetric short circuit current of DFIG connected to distribution network

In view of the existing complex analytic calculations of DFIG short-circuit current are hardly applied in engineering projects, a practical calculation of asymmetric short-circuit current of DFIG is proposed. According to the complex sequence and their Thevenin equivalent model of DFIG network, the composition of each sequence component of DFIG short-circuit current is analysed. Moreover, considering the low-voltage ride through strategy of DFIG, the negative sequence periodic components of short circuit current are well analysed during the crowbar activation and deactivation, and the formula of the negative sequence periodic components of short circuit current are derived. On the basis of positive and negative sequence open circuit voltage, calculating impedance and rotor current, the judgement of crowbar activation is established. The pre-calculated surfaces of negative sequence periodic components of short circuit current are proposed, and the procedure for calculating the asymmetric short-circuit current of DFIG is designed. Finally, the proposed method is verified by simulation
