This paper presents a P-Q coordination based highvoltage ride through (HVRT) control strategy for doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) based on a combined Q-V control and P-V de-loading control. The active/reactive power injection effect of DFIG on transient overvoltage is firstly analyzed and the reactive power capacity evaluation of DFIG considering its de-loading operation is then conducted. In the proposed strategy, the reactive power limit of DFIG can be flexibly extended during the transient process in coordination with its active power adjustment. As a result, the transient overvoltage caused by DC bipolar block can be effectively suppressed. Moreover, key outer loop parameters such as Q-V control coefficient and de-loading coefficient can be determined based on the voltage level of point of common coupling (PCC) and the available power capacity of DFIG. Finally, case studies based on MATLAB/Simulink simulation are used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
