In electric power systems, the Low Voltage Ride (LRRT), or Understeer (FRT), sometimes undervoltage (UVRT), is the ability of the electrical generators to stay connected in short periods of lower network voltage Electrical See voltage immersion). It is needed at the distribution level (wind farms, photovoltaic systems, distributed cogeneration, etc.) to avoid a short circuit at the HV or EHV level leading to a generalized loss of generation. Similar requirements for critical loads such as computer systems and industrial processes are often handled through the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or capacitor bank to power makeup during these events.
The Low-Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) is one of the most important network connection requirements to be met by Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). In the presence of mains voltage drops, there is a mismatch between the active power generated and the active power supplied to the network. The low-voltage walk through the requirement requires handling this mismatch, which is a challenge for the WECS. In this document, the LVRT requirements provided by Wind Grid Codes have been revised. This document discusses the standards for the interconnection of wind generators to the local grid during healthy conditions and failures. According to the LVRT requirement, during the immersion occurrence, the wind power generation plant must remain connected to the grid and in addition, it must supply reactive power to the grid to help the company maintain the grid voltage. Voltage sinking is the most prominent power quality problem and the effect of voltage sinking on different wind turbine topologies has been investigated. Several methods have been explored for LVRT compliance and the LVRT scheme based on the MATLAB-SIMULINK simulation has been validated.
Many generator designs use electric current flowing through windings to produce the magnetic field in which the motor or generator operates. This is in contrast to designs that use permanent magnets to generate this field instead. Such devices may have a minimum working voltage, below which the device does not operate correctly, or do so with very reduced efficiency. Some are cut out of the circuit when these conditions are applied. This effect is more severe in dual feed induction generators (DFIG), which have two sets of driven magnetic windings, than in squirrel cage induction generators with only one. Synchronous generators can slip and become unstable if the stator winding voltage falls below a certain threshold.
