Wind energy has always been developed as one of the vital parts of modern power systems. However, by integration of wind-based generation, the level of fault current is likely to be increased which can damage the wind generators, microgrid components, and upstream grids. Consequently, utilizing viable protecting structures might preserve wind generator structures and other sections of the electric system as well. In this paper, first, the issue of the fault current of wind generators is discussed, and then well-known solution for protecting wind generators against fault current will be classified based on the comprehensive review. Next, various power electronic-based structures which are proper for protection of systems against the fault current, will be debated and ultimately the features of reviewed structures will be compared and summarized in a table for the case of wind energy generator protection.
