Abstract

See full text

The invention is directed to a method for controlling a wind turbine connected to a three-phase electrical supply grid during an asymmetrical grid fault. The method is configured for wind turbines with a doubly-fed induction generator. The reactive current to be fed into the electrical supply grid in the negative phase-sequence system is generated by the line-side and the rotor-side converter in a coordinated manner and depends on the line voltage. The reactive current to be fed into the electrical supply grid is distributed among the rotor-side and line-side converters. As a result, even in the case of severely asymmetrical grid faults, the reactive current to be fed into the electrical supply grid can be provided and excessive loading of the rotor-side converter can be prevented using simple means. The invention is also directed to a wind turbine for performing the above method.
