Abstract

IEEE In this paper, in response to the open-circuit fault scenario in the grid-side converter (GSC) of doubly-fed induction generator-based wind turbines (DFIG-WTs), a fault-tolerant four-switch three-phase (FSTP) topology-based GSC is studied. Compared with other switch-level fault-tolerant converter topologies, fewer switches, less switching and conduction losses, and simpler converter structure are derived. A simplified space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique is proposed to improve the output current quality and reduce the computational complexity in the control process. Unified expressions of duty ratios for the two remaining healthy bridge arms are obtained. In addition, the three-phase unbalance phenomenon caused by the capacitive impedance in the faulty phase is analysed from the AC point of view, and a current distortion compensation scheme is illustrated. Furthermore, a DC-bus voltage deviation suppression strategy is proposed to maximize the DC-bus voltage utilization rate and mitigate the damage to the DC-link capacitors. Simulations are carried out in Matlab/Simulink2017a to demonstrate the validity of the proposed SVPWM technique and compensation schemes in FSTP GSC for a 1.5MW grid-connected DFIG-WT when different working conditions are considered.
