This work compares the response of DFIG-based wind turbines under voltage dips caused by transformer-energizing and caused by an asymmetrical fault. Voltage dips with similar retained voltage and duration and the two distinct causes are applied to an equivalent model of a DFIG-based wind park. The dips are different in terms of harmonic content and unbalance during the recovery after the dip. Due to its slow recovery, the transformer-energizing dip results in longer fluctuation in torque, longer overshoot in DC-link voltage, and longer recovery to the pre-dip active power. Also, due to its harmonic content, the harmonic distortion in the rotor and stator current is higher for the transformer-energizing dip. As the impact is different between the transformer-energizing dip and the fault-caused dip, it is recommended to consider both events separately during low-voltage-ride-through studies.
