It is an object to stabilize utility grid even when an unexpected fluctuation in the frequency of the utility grid occurs. A wind turbine generator (1) includes a rotor (7) that rotates by wind power, a generator (5) that is driven by rotation of the rotor (7), and a control device (20) that controls a power output of the generator (5) to increase while a rotational speed of the generator (5) decreases when a frequency of a utility grid (13) becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined rated frequency and when the rotational speed of the generator (5) is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value. In this way, even when the frequency of the utility grid (13) fluctuates, the frequency fluctuation can be suppressed, and the utility grid (13) can be stabilized.

A power plant controller (36) is described. The power plant controller (36) controls a power generation system (10) having one or more power generators (12) and an energy storage system (22), and provides a utility grid or transmission system operator with the capability to select the droop response provided by the power generation system. Accordingly, an operator can request a specific generator droop response in order to provide appropriate frequency and grid control services. The power plant controller (36) operates in real time determining one or more power characteristics of the power generation system (10). Based on these characteristics and an indication of a future predicted power output for the power generation system, the power plant controller can take the necessary steps to ensure that the power generation system is capable of responding with the selected droop response, or can advise the operator that a different droop is preferred.

A wind turbine system (20, 70) is connected to an electrical grid (42) by an inverter (38) that provides turbine terminal voltage (Vt) support to the grid during a grid low voltage fault that is concurrent with a lack of real power production from the generator (30) by providing reactive power to the grid. A processor (46) controls the inverter to preserve a minimum voltage on a local DC bus (34) by stopping the reactive power output when the DC bus voltage drops to a threshold value (59) that is above a low bus voltage trip setpoint (56). An energy storage device (48) such as a battery may be connected to the DC bus to provide power that supports a prolonged ride-through capability during the grid fault.

The invention relates to a control apparatus and method for controlling the rotor blades of a wind turbine, and in particular to controlling the rotor blades during an extreme wind event. An extended mode of operation of the wind turbine rotor beyond the cut-out wind speed is provided. In the extended mode of operation, the pitch of the wind turbine blades is actively controlled so that the rotor and the generator idle at a designated rotational speed. The rotational speed may be relatively high, say 15 to 20% of the nominal speed, compared with minimal speeds experienced by purely feathered wind turbine blades, and may be further controlled as a function of the incident wind speed. Output power control in the extended mode may be zero but is preferably a low, but non-zero value. The output power so produced may then be used as an auxiliary power source for controlling the wind turbine in situations where the utility grid fails.

The invention relates to a method for regulating a self-commutated converter that can be connected on the AC side to an AC network via an inductive component, wherein: an actual power value and an actual frequency value are determined from a network voltage measured on the AC side of the converter and from a converter current measured at the converter; an active power regulation difference is formed as the difference between an active power portion of the actual power value and a desired active power value, and a frequency regulation difference is formed as the difference between the actual frequency value and a predefined desired frequency value; an orthogonal portion of a converter control voltage is determined by means of an orthogonal regulator in accordance with the active power regulation difference, wherein an active power exchanged between the converter and the AC network is determined by means of the orthogonal portion, a parallel portion of the converter control voltage is determined by means of a parallel regulator in accordance with the active power regulation difference, wherein a reactive power exchanged between the converter and the AC network is determined by means of the parallel portion. The method is characterised in that the frequency regulation difference is supplied to the parallel regulator, such that the determining of the parallel portion of the converter control voltage is carried out in accordance with the frequency regulation difference. The invention also relates to a self-commutated converter for transmission with a regulation unit for regulating the transmitted power, which is designed to carry out the method according to the invention.

The invention relates to a method for operating a wind turbine (WEA), which has a generator, for supplying electric power to an electric supply grid. After being operated in a first operating state with a first power output and a first rotational speed, the wind turbine is set to a second operating state with a second power output and a second rotational speed. In order to set the wind turbine to the second operating state, an aerodynamic power output which is available for supply is determined, a target rotational speed is determined from the available output, and a target output to be set for the generator is specified from the target rotational speed.
