Overview: In this paper, the design of a robust converter interface for wind turbines is investigated. Based on the classification of unbalanced faults that can occur in the grid, resulting in voltage dips at the bus where the turbine is connected, the maximum current that the converter valves must be able to withstand is calculated. The effect of phase-angle jumps during faults is also investigated. It is demonstrated that, ultimately, the converter design can be optimized by using statistics of voltage dips and the wind speed distribution for the specific site considered.
