“…In wind turbines based on back-to-back converters, using the crowbar circuit is the most popular and reliable scheme to relieve the problems of overcurrent in rotor side converter (RSC) and overvoltage at DC-link during a severe voltage dip [3]. In DFIG-based wind turbines, the crowbar is usually installed at the rotor terminals, and prevents damage to the rotor side converter [4,5]. When a severe voltage dip occurs, the crowbar is activated, the rotor side converter is deactivated and the entire rotor current is diverted to the crowbar circuit, therefore the rotor side converter is protected against overcurrent.…”
