Abstract: The invention provides a method of identifying recurrent free-flow wind disturbances associated with a wind turbine. The method comprises monitoring a signal indicative of a parameter associated with operation of the wind turbine, determining an expected signal of the parameter based on the monitored signal, determining a difference between values of the monitored signal and the determined expected signal, and correlating the determined differences with yaw position of a nacelle of the wind turbine. The method includes determining, based on the correlated differences, unexpected values of the parameter for different yaw positions, and identifying, based on a frequency of occurrence of the determined unexpected values, a recurrent free-flow wind disturbance associated with a yaw position of the nacelle.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for virtual machine testing of an electric machine. A test signature including parameter values measured during one or more static tests of the electric machine is compared to a reference signature generated by performing a similar series of static tests on a reference machine. The reference machine is then validated by subjecting the reference machine to full-load dynamic testing. The test and reference signatures may include a plurality of parameters each characterizing a physical property of the respective machines in one or more physical domains. The parameters are selected so that the electric machine can be qualified for operation in the field by comparing the test signature to the reference signature, thereby avoiding the need for full-load dynamic testing of the electric machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling power generation of a VSM wind turbine. The wind turbine comprises a machine side converter, a line side converter, a DC link, and an electric storage device electrically connected to the DC link. The method comprises determining a first power control signal to the machine side converter, determining a second power control signal for controlling a desired output power of the line side converter based on a storage device voltage error, and a power production reference, and determining a charging current reference for controlling charging and discharging of the electric storage device based on a DC-link voltage error.
