Abstract
Electrical energy is required to run everyday appliances. It is generated by from conventional energy sources, which are exhaustible; therefore, the importance of non-conventional energy sources is increasing by the hour. Wind energy as an energy source is non-polluting and does not pose any threat to nature. For utilizing this source of energy, it is imperative to find suitable ways to harness it. This paper involves simulation of a DFIG for wind energy applications its investigation under different network fault conditions, both symmetrical and asymmetrical. The simulation is carried out with the aid of Simulink toolbox in MATLAB.
