| Summary: | During grid fault, transmission lines reach its thermal limit and lose its capability to transfer. If this fault current enters generator terminals, it will lead to dip in stator voltage and consequently produces torque and real power oscillations. This further affects in the form of internal heat in rotor windings and finally damages the generator. A new control strategy is proposed to limit fault current using dual STATCOM, which will damp power oscillations and mitigate the voltage dip due to a severe symmetrical fault. It is achieved by diverting the fault current to the capacitor using the dual-STATCOM controller. It is best suitable to maintain power system stability with uninterrupted power supply, effective power transfer capability and rapid reactive power support and to damp inter-area oscillations. The effectiveness of SG and DFIG due to the transmission line short circuit symmetrical fault was studied.
