At present, studies on the influence of short-circuit current characteristics of a doubly fed induction generator on distance protection of wind farm feeder lines and related research are generally carried out on the basis of taking Crowbar protection action into account. There is little literature considering the influence of short-circuit current characteristics of DFIG on distance protection under the control of Rotor-Side Converter (RSC). Thus this paper analyses the difference of short-circuit current characteristics of doubly fed induction generator considering Crowbar protection operation and RSC control operation. The expressions of calculation deviation of the speed-frequency component and transient natural component for full-cycle Fourier algorithm considering Crowbar protection operation and RSC control are deduced and analyzed. The purpose is to analyze the influence of short-circuit current from doubly-fed wind farm on traditional distance protection. Also a time-domain distance protection method adapted to two operating conditions after fault is proposed. Finally, the electromagnetic transient simulation model of grid-connected doubly fed induction generator is built on the platform of Matlab/Simulink. The operational characteristics of traditional distance protection and time-domain distance protection are simulated and analyzed considering Crowbar protection action and RSC control.
