As the power generation from RES increases, the installed capacity of power converters By utilizing the large scale of solar energy, the RES system is able to supply power to the grid. Thus, increases. By utilizing the large scale of solar energy, the RES system is able to supply power to the by increasing the capacity of the RES, the grid-connected RES will create a negative impact on the grid. Thus, by increasing the capacity of the RES, the grid-connected RES will create a negative grid when fault or disturbance occurs. Hence, the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) voltage drop is impact on the grid when fault or disturbance occurs. Hence, the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) triggered by a fault in grid power and the RES will become off-grid across a wide area range. Moreover, voltage drop is triggered by a fault in grid power and the RES will become off-grid across a wide these fault impacts cause the grid voltage and frequency collapse, also affecting the safe, stable and area range.

De la Universidad 30, Leganés, 28911 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (D.R.); [email protected] (M.C.-R.); [email protected] (M.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In this review, the state of the art of 23 distributed generation and microgrids standards has been analyzed. Among these standards, 18 correspond mainly to distributed generation while five of them introduce the concept of microgrid. The following topics have been considered: interconnection criteria, operating conditions, control capabilities, power quality, protection functions and reference variables. The revised national standards cover ten countries on four continents, which represents 80% of the countries with the largest installed renewable capacities. In addition, eight other relevant international standards have been analyzed, finding IEEE 1547 as the most comprehensive standard. It is identified a clear need to define a common framework for distributed energy resources (DERs) and microgrid standards in the future, wherein topics, terminology, and values are expressed in a manner that may widely cover the entire diversity in a way similar to how it has already been expressed at the network transport level by the ENTSO-E codes.

As more wind power is integrated into utility networks, related technology challenges draw much attention. The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is the mainstream choice for wind turbine generator (WTG) in current market and the object of this thesis. It is very sensitive to voltage dips. The enhancement of low voltage ride through (LVRT) is one of the most important issues for DFIG, and many works have already been done to provide solutions. In current works, the voltage dip waveforms that are applied in LVRT related works are largely different from waveforms in reality, because they fail to consider the the effect of realistic wind farm configurations on waveforms of voltage dips and significant influences of additional characteristics of voltage dips. The true impact of the voltage dip needs to be assessed in performance evaluation and development of LVRT methods.

The growing penetration of wind power makes it necessary for wind turbines to maintain continuous operation during voltage dips, which is stated as the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability. Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines (DFIG-WTs), which are widely used in wind power generation, are sensitive to disturbances from the power grid. Therefore, several kinds of protection circuits and control methods are applied to DFIG-WTs for LVRT capability enhancement. This paper gives a comprehensive review and evaluation of the proposed LVRT solutions used in DFIG-WTs, including external retrofit methods and internal control techniques. In addition, future trends of LVRT solutions are also discussed in this paper. Keywords: Doubly fed induction generator; low-voltage ride through; wind turbine; rotor-side converter; grid-side converter 1. Introduction In recent years, renewable energy generation made great progress worldwide to meet the challenge of drastic climate changes and increasing energy demands [1].
