Abstract
This study focusses on using a crowbar protection scheme to overcome the symmetrical voltage dips in a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The crowbar protection scheme is integrated into the wind energy conversion system of the DFIG. The implementation of this scheme provides automated fault ride-through during sudden transients which may otherwise lead to over current faults. The increased use of renewable sources for electricity generation leads to a reduction in pollution which directly benefits the environment. Sustained usage of renewable resources will be beneficial for the environment.
