1. INTRODUCTION
The impact of escalation wind farms penetrating due to the remarkable success in supporting green
clean energy during the recent years provided serious cooperation with different resources to achieve an
integrated and stable power generation system [1]-[3]. The urgent need for a reliable protection system to
protect (turbo generators) from the potential symmetrical and asymmetrical fault that occurs in the
distribution network become under the process of study and evaluations [4], [5]. That inflicts new
requirements to ensure the quality energy distribution named grid code requirements [6]. The code of the grid
states winds generator capability to promoter power system [7] thru powering auxiliary services like control
of voltage and secure, reliable, and safe operations of the power system. Power electronics are the promoting
technology still practical solutions for grid interfacing of wind turbines with the grid requirements [8]-[10].
Due to green electrical power needs worldwide, they start to build large wind power farms such as
Thant’s offshore wind turbine farms in the UK. Accordingly, all renewable energy requires to connect to the
network of the power system. Therefore, the connection between the existing wind power generators and the
Network distribution stability becomes a concerning issue. Even that, most wind generators are suddenly
disconnected from the grid in fault situations the performance of the power system distribution becomes
unstable. That considers the greatest problem of integrating wind generators into the grid [11]. That's
enlightening on the quality of the energy correlated with the traditional wind generators, which require an
extended time to return to the previous stable performance again [12]-[14].
Then, under this case, there is an idea to compensate suitable rechargeable power for probable short-
term asymmetrical fault by adopting new system requirements [15]. The trusted MATLAB software
simulation model has been done to enable this study to take into account the grid side machine performance
and evaluate the machine's ability to ride through an asymmetrical disturbance. The observing of both side
stator windings has a major role in providing the grid side fluctuations during short term fault and evaluate
the machine behaviors through it [16].
2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
The asymmetrical fault does not affect each of the three phases of primary voltages equally. This
study deals with temporary, and short-term period duration fault, not with permanent fault. The fault
commonly happens in outdoor networks, not in the underground distribution system. The wind power
generation is the most system affected by this fault which is considered less harmful than 3 phase dip voltage
or (symmetrical fault) as it is named. This study started with the case of drop voltage to zero in one of three
phases (first Phase). The same circumstance of the simulation software, control algorithm, and machine
parameters for the 2 MW machine which was involved in analyzing full drop voltage (symmetrical fault) in
BDSRG, but with symmetrical fault condition. Asymmetrical low voltage rides through confirming the
capability of the BDSRG to overcome the disturbance voltage when one phase of the 3 phases of the grid
supplies dropped down and the ability of the machine to handle the fault duration impact with adopting a
suitable amount of reactive power.
A brushless dual-stator winding reluctance generator (BDSWRG) with a silence rotor is one the
machine has inherited save mode to protect the converter from over current and voltage disturbance (save
mode) [17] as shown in Figure 1 is make this emerging machine more attractive compared with another
Brushless Dual stator induction machine (BDSIM) wounded rotor [18]. BDSWRG is free maintenance,
brushless design, higher reliability in comparison with other brush machines. Moreover, it can run in varied
modes of operation. Such as Synchronous Machine, Indication Machine, and Doubly Excited Indication
Machine. Therefore, the machine becomes very interesting for further modeling consideration. Unique and
unwound rotor structure, earn it new characteristic for the specification. The owing of low leakage
inductance comparing with other generators models, the ability to tolerate, such as induction machine (safe
mode) improves a property of this machine, to the self-protect inverter circuit. Which considers mainly
significant benefits that can be derived from this machine [19].

component. Cross coupling between current component (q-d component), in the outer power-speed loop, that
introduced by resistance effects of the rotor was compensated and addressed in both axis by PI regulator in
[20]. This is considering a complementary attempt to test the validity and efficiency of BDSWRG to Ride
Through asymmetric disturbance, after their marked efficiency to ride through the symmetric drop voltages
[21]. While the superiority of the control algorithm has been derived to prevent power line outage through
this short-term fault between grid-generator, by compensating suitable reactive power and dispensing the
common crowbar circuits [22]. The reactive power compensating to the grid is one of the low voltage ride-
through (LVRTH) requirements to avoid the drop-in voltage through fault occurrence [23]. Therefore, the
establishing trigger fault command estimator model for estimating reactive power should take into account
the essential dynamic model d-q equation of the excited doubly stator winding reluctance machine, Figure 2
shows control algorithm configuration as well exited trigger fault command of the machine, the following
equations are dynamic model d-q of DSWRG [24].

The reactive power loop can be identified according to the convention equation starting from the primary side

Hence the linear relation exists between primary current iPd and reactive power; the loop of reactive power
can be drawn as:
when the Ipd serve as a main proportional variable in the (isd*) estimated currents equation, that estimated
(isd*), in the first stage controller. Faults give rise to unsymmetrical currents (current differ in according to
the stator field-oriented control (SFOC) hypotheses alignment λpq =0.

This proves of the analogy relationship between, speed and secondary current basis torque expression.
With the presence of secondary side machine currents isd, isq and the reference current which derived
in the circumstances of a fault condition in (7,9) the second stage of stator field-oriented control strategy will
be developed to match:

Actually, the inner loop (7), of flux-oriented control is quite similar to the voltage-oriented control. It is
building his performance on the amount of the reference currents isd*, isq* is obtained from the first stage and
through the unit compensation PI brought up to the appropriate voltage Usd, Usq. The Usd, Usq control voltages
were established in order to build the appropriate voltage for insulated-gate bipolar transistor inverter gates.
On the other hand, depending on secondary voltages, the PI controller in this control algorithm became one
of the rations requirements; the stator field-oriented control relied on outside loop speed indicate of axis
rotation and encoded data to be integrated with a variable speed that responds to the dynamics of rotor
generator rotation performance impact in addition to the fault challenge [25]-[27]. It produces encoder data
and isq reactive current. The active energy gained from the primary lateral device is that open-loop data can
be injected into the natural and fault control system as well. It was developed for the convenience of the
appropriate voltage input to reverse the insulated-gate bipolar transistor for the production of secondary
voltages supplied to the lateral control machine [28]. In this control algorithm, SFOC adopts a loop of speed
to reflect the impact of the performance machine as well as the challenge of failure. The evolution of the
rotary machine in torque reflects the expected action of the laboratory when the machine's rotation has
evolved in the encoded data based on the reference frame and the dynamic current that respects the torque
[29]. The active energy gained from the primary side device is that the open-loop data can be injected into the
normal and disturbance control system conditions as well [30].

The single-phase drop considers asymmetrical nature's fault which the grid suffers under ionizations
condition or temporary phase contact in outdoor distribution networks. The duration of the fault which was
adopted in this research is 200 ms according to the EON standard. So, it requires from trigger fault estimator
unit to provide suitable reactive power to recover fault drop voltage as illustrated in Figure 3.
The relics left by such crash appear clearly in the form of uneven sustained repels which described
the given crash as a serious fault in the primary parameters Figure 4. The system control follows the desired
currents produced from the fault trigger unit as reference currents isd* ,isq* Figure 5, satisfying from the PI
controller can be achieved the suitable reactive power to recover the fault. The currents isd tuned to zero that
decrees the repel effects which are transferred from the primary side to enable the isq to provide reactive
power to the secondary side stage during fault period (8-8.2) s, the complete action can be seen in Figure 5
showing the dq secondary current when the isq take the role of the direct current in faulty condition to the
clearance asymmetrical fault the isq declare to zero and return to follow the master control in normal
condition. One of the facts could be concluded in this study is the range of severity asymmetrical faultless
than symmetrical fault so it was easy to recover.
5. CONCLUSION
Referring to the extracted results the investigation exceptionally demonstrates the ability of
BDSWRG to overcome asymmetric faults, especially when the case is losing one of the three phases of grid
voltage (dip voltage). Тhis difference in-phase and a drop in the voltage. Obvious deformation in the
magnetic field and voltage profile during the fault period (8-8.2) ms at the primary side of the machine which
is directly faced the drop of voltage especially in the first figures before the reactive power is pumped from
the fault and the degree of improvement has been driven by injecting the reactive power from the fault unit
in. the following figures. The results confirmed well the capability of FOC control advantages over rest
control algorithms to handle drop voltage during the short-term fault period due to the inherited decoupling
behavior of the Id-Iq currents and high performance and precision tracking of the change in the desired
voltages. The rest of the important outcome from this experimental work is confirming the validation and
capability of BDSWRG in manufacture requirements and WECS applications to ride through the
asymmetrical fault. The asymmetry of phase tolerance led to the unbalance and fluctuation in magnetic flux
and voltage could harm the machine or losing control in offshore plants. So, the adoption of the LVRT
requirement will enable the system to recover the drop-in voltage and unwanted glitches and returned the
power distribution stability without any interruption between the generators and grid.
