Transient behaviour of DTC controlled DFIG for wind-power applications studied. The transient simulation results with and without crowbar were compared. When the crowbar is implemented, the stator and rotor transient current decay rapidly and rotor circuit is properly protected. Transient electromagnetic torque is reduced by means of crowbar but oscillates longer than in case without crowbar. Conclusions
