Wind energy has a dilute, unpredicted nature; hence, it creates a challenge for effective and well managed operation of wind turbines connected to the grid network. There is a mandatory requirement for wind turbines to fulfil standard grid codes for stability control. In this study, a new scheme consisting of a parallel connected capacitor with the DC-link scheme of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine is proposed. Scenarios of integrating different sizes of the parallel capacitor at the grid side converter of the DFIG were investigated, in order to know the optimum size for the better transient performance of the wind generator. For effective comparative study, the same constant wind speed was used for the considered scenarios in the investigation of the wind generator transient performance. The presented results in power system computer design and electromagnetic transient including DC show that the proposed parallel capacitor based DC-link scheme power converter improves the grid voltage response and the variables of the wind generator during a severe grid fault condition. Furthermore, a proposed modulated series dynamic braking resistor (MSDBR) was used to improve the overall performance of the capacitor scheme. The results of the proposed MSDBR were compared to the traditional scheme.
