This paper describes the modeling and simulation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based Marine Current Turbine (MCT) under converter faulty conditions. The modeling of the generator is represented in the d-q reference frame. The Proportional Integral (PI) controllers are used for the direct current, the quadratic current, and the speed Control. The faulty mode describes an open-circuit fault in the generator-side converter. Simulations results show that the dynamic performances and the power generation of the MCT are highly degraded due to the fault.
