A Doubly Fed Induction Generator has a stator winding directly coupled with grid whereas rotor is to the grid via a fault-prone converter. In early times, when a fault occurred, these generators were required to disengage from the grid. However, due to the increased penetration, grid operators demanded WTs remain connected to the grid. Thus, this paperwork integrates crowbar protection with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to improve Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability. For performance evaluation under transient conditions, a three-phase symmetrical fault is imposed at a time of 2 seconds. By using the suggested technique, the DC-link voltage is observed to improve and remain at 1150 V with minor fluctuation. Likewise, the stator and rotor currents are observed to remain at their nominal value after 2.15 seconds. MATLAB-Simulink software is used for modeling and simulation by obtaining all the system’s actual parameters from ADAMA-II Wind Farm.
