Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of a five-phase silicon carbide (SiC)-based current-source converter (CSC) integrated with a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) for wind energy applications. The study explores both healthy and faulty operation, focusing on system behavior under transient conditions and various load scenarios in stand-alone mode. A novel five-phase space vector PWM strategy in dual coordinate planes is introduced, which enables stable control during normal and open-phase fault conditions. Experimental results demonstrate improved stator voltage and current quality, particularly in terms of reduced Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), compared to traditional voltage-source converter-based systems. Furthermore, the system maintains operational stability under a single-phase open fault, despite increased oscillations in stator quantities. The results highlight the potential of five-phase CSC-DFIG systems as a robust and efficient alternative for wind power plants, particularly in configurations involving long cable connections and requiring low generator losses. Future work will focus on enhancing fault-tolerant capabilities and expanding control strategies for improved performance under different operating conditions.
