the system, their physical nature and
effective parameters on them are
investigated. Furthermore, the dynamic
behavior of these turbines during the fault
and after fault clearing are analyzed and
compared. The simulations validate the
analytical results. Results show that the
rotor speed increment is limited in both
kinds of the studied wind turbines.
However, in DFIG case, the system
certainly comes back to the initial
operating point.
