For the grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine, because of the stator connected to the grid directly, the stator flux easily suffers from the effects of grid voltage variations, such as grid disturbances and grid faults. Moreover, since the magnetic field is excited by the rotor current, stator flux is also affected by the rotor current. Therefore this study systematically studies the dynamic performances of stator flux under consecutive grid voltage variations and varying rotor currents, and its influence on the performances of the DFIG during grid faults. The analyses reveal that the stator flux can be accumulated by the consecutive variations of the stator voltage, and the instants of grid voltage variations can lead to different amplitudes of the stator flux. In addition, the conventional vector control strategy and the active damping strategy are compared with the behaviour of the stator flux. Furthermore, the simulation and experiment are carried out to validate the theoretical analyses, and the results have clearly confirmed the correctness and effectiveness of the analyses of the stator flux performances.
