Symmetrical and unsymmetrical short-circuit current of squirrel-cage and doubly-fed induction generators
A general method for calculating the short-circuit currents of a squirrel-cage (SCIG) and a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) using crowbar protection is presented. The method results in an approximate analytic expression that allows calculating the SCIG and DFIG short-circuit currents as a function of time for symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults in the power system. The presented theoretical
