Abstract: It is important to analyze rotor current increment characteristics quantitatively for doubly-fed induction generators(DFIG) initiated by terminal voltage symmetrically dip for wind farm planning, relay protection configuration and cascading trip-off risk reduction. Under conditions of constant rotor speed, excitation voltage in early phase, the electromagnetic transient process of DFIG before crowbar protection triggered is analyzed in detail. By using superposition principle, a maximum rotor current increment calculation method for DFIG initiated by terminal voltage dip is proposed. Furthermore, analytic model to calculate maximum increment of rotor current for DFIG initiated by terminal voltage dip without consideration of stator and rotor winding resistance is derived. Calculating results of different kinds of generators are within 10% error margin compared with iterative calculation results, which show effectiveness of proposed analytical method.
