In this paper, the converter of a 2MW direct-driven permanent-magnet wind turbine is researched for exactly locating the open-circuit fault of wind power converter. The structure and fault characteristics of the converter is analysed, and open-circuit fault location of the converter is implemented by defining a fault feature variable based on grid-side current signal. Based on Matlab/Simulink platform, the fault simulation model of wind power converter is built, the waveforms changes of grid-side current and fault feature variables are analysed under different fault conditions. The simulation results show the feasibility and effectiveness of the model. It provides a fast-position diagnosis method for the open-circuit fault of wind power converter, and has the certain application value for project.
