A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) actively contributes to grid stability during voltage dips by providing dynamic voltage support and damping oscillations, going beyond simply riding through the fault. Riding through the fault simply means the generator remains connected to the grid during the voltage dip. A DFIG is connected to the grid through its stator winding directly, and its rotor winding is connected through a power electronic converter, typically a back-to-back PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) converter. This converter allows for independent control of active and reactive power. During a voltage dip, which is a temporary reduction in grid voltage, the DFIG can rapidly inject reactive power into the grid. Reactive power is necessary to support the voltage l....
