High-Resistance Connection Diagnosis of Doubly Fed Induction Generators.

The high resistance connection fault of the stator is a common fault in doubly fed induction generators, which causes a three-phase imbalance in the stator circuit. Since the stator winding is directly connected to the power grid, interference from the asymmetric power grid must be eliminated in order to achieve the accurate diagnosis of stator resistance imbalance faults. Therefore, a new diagnosis method based on filter shunt capacitor banks is proposed in this paper. By introducing shunt capacitor banks, an artificial neutral point is constructed to replace the neutral point of the power grid. Then, the neutral point voltage of the stator winding relative to the artificial neutral point is selected as a fault characteristic signal. In this paper, the change in three-phase stator currents after a high-resistance connection fault is analyzed in detail, and by comparing the fault characteristic signal with three-phase stator currents, the fault phase location and fault severity of high-resistance connection can be accurately obtained. Finally, simulations are carried out via the field-circuit coupling method to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
