Fault ride-through enhancement of fixed speed wind turbine using bridge-type fault current limiter

The interaction between wind energy turbines and the grid results in two main problems, increasing the short-circuit level and reducing the Fault Ride-Through (FRT) capability during faults. The objective of this paper is to solve these problems, for fixed speed Wind Energy Systems (WECS), utilizing...
