Investigation of the compliance of fixed and variable speed wind turbines to the new UK grid code and the effect of variable frequency operation on optimizing converter rating

This thesis deals with the compliance of fixed speed and variable speed wind turbines based on doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) with the new UK grid code in terms of reactive power capability and fault ride through capability. Moreover, a new technique which enables the converter rating reducti...
