Abstract

This paper presents fault response of squirrel cage induction generator through grid connected of wind power. Thus, the Squirrel Cage Induction Generator (SCIG) is connected to an infinite bus through delta grounded wye transformer, transmission line and load. The capacitance compensation will be installed. The simulation model of grid connected squirrel cage wind power induction generator is discussed in the stationary reference frame using (MATLAB/SIMULINK). Simulations results have been investigated by various symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. The fault is applied to the induction generator terminals. The paper introduces various types of algorithms to calculate the currents, frequencies and voltages in order to protect the wind driven induction generator connected to a power system grid.
