Analysis and mitigation of the adverse effects of voltage sags and swells on wind farms

Wind farms have become an important source of sustainable electricity generation as renewable energy is becoming more and more popular around the world. The widespread adoption of wind farms causes some new problems. Wind generators are prone to damage during electricity grid instability and, therefore, some sort of protection is required for continuous operation of wind generators. This thesis focuses on the design of novel protection mechanism for wind generators during electricity grid instability. This will make the adoption of wind farms more feasible.
