A double fed induction generator (DFIG) converter method are presented in which rotor side current spikes are attenuated using series-connected damping resistance in response to grid fault occurrences or grid fault clearances.

The present invention relates to a wind turbine and an associated method for controlling the output current from said wind turbine to an electric power grid, and, more particularly, to a wind turbine and a method for controlling the current under condition...

A wind powered turbine (3) with low voltage ride-through capability. An inverter (28) is connected to the output of a turbine generator. The generator output is conditioned by the inverter resulting in an output voltage and current at a frequency and phase...
