Abstract: Energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydro, etc., are an important source of energy, and wind power generators are important energy conversion machines. The doubly fed induction generator has wide industrial and commercial applications due to its superior performance, combined with fault and eco-friendly properties. However, the fault current dynamics of wind farms identify the potential impacts of fault currents and the voltage on the protection. This study focuses on wind farms (employing doubly fed induction generators) perturbation during symmetrical (three-phase) symmetrical short circuit (SSC) at different points. The detail of analyzing the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) performance during transient conditions, control and modeling is studied in this paper. These two points are selected as grid-side converter and point of common coupling, respectively. These comparison results fetched the more precise understanding of the fault diagnosis reliability with reduced complexity, stability, and optimization of the system. The present findings illustrated the main difference between point of common coupling and grid-side converter under SSC faults and the robustness of these two mentioned points.
