A high-voltage-fault ride-through control strategy for a Direct-Driven PMSG (D-PMSG) is proposed. The transient operating characteristics of D-PMSG are analyzed, and then the voltage vector relationship of different regions of the converter is studied. Simultaneously, the jump mechanism of the DC capacitor voltage is analyzed. The designed upper control strategy of the D-PMSG can show that the dq power reference value of the execution layer of the generator-converter and grid-converter depends on different jump levels of terminal voltage. The simulation results in PSCAD/EMTDC show that when the jump level of terminal voltage is small, not only can the control strategy ensure that the DC capacitor voltage of D-PMSG is within the safe value, but also that the D-PMSG is able to inject active power into the grid. At the same time, a certain inductive reactive power can be also injected into the fault point to support the bus fault voltage recovery. When the terminal voltage jumps a large amount, the control strategy makes the grid-side converter inject the capacitive reactive power into the grid to prevent the DC capacitor voltage exceeding the limit value. The active power is issued into the grid under the premise of satisfying the constraints of the converter capacity.
