Abstract: The stator side of a double-fed induction generator (DFIG) is directly connected to the grid, so the DFIG is sensitive to a voltage drop caused by power system faults. A double resistors braking method based on fuzzy control is proposed to improve the performance of low-voltage ride through (LVRT) in this paper. Based on the mathematical model of DFIG, it analyzes the function of a series dynamical braking resistor (SDBR) theoretically. The series impedance value of the SDBR is determined by the variation of the rotor’s open circuit voltage, the voltage and current of the stator and the rotor, and also the heat capacity of the SDBR. In order to improve the LVRT capability of a DFIG under different fault grads, a double series resistors braking mode is presented. Through adopting a fuzzy control strategy, double series resistor switching is implemented. With the example system, the correctness and validity of the proposed method is verified.
