Abstract: A method of operating a wind converter is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of forecasted datasets. The forecasted datasets include event signals for the wind converter during fast transient operating conditions (OCs) and operational data for the wind converter having a low sampling rate. The method further includes estimating a converter life consumption during normal OCs and a converter life consumption during the fast transient OCs. Further, the method includes computing a total converter life consumption of the wind converter. Moreover, the method includes predicting, using a remaining useful life (RUL) prediction module, an RUL for the wind converter based on the total converter life consumption. The method further includes adjusting operation of the wind converter by adjusting operating variables of the wind converter.

Abstract: A power generation system (100, 200, 300, 400) is presented. The power generation system includes a prime mover (102), a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) (104) having a rotor winding (126) and a stator winding (122), a rotor-side converter (106), a line-side converter (108), and a secondary power source (110, 401) electrically coupled to a DC-link (128). Additionally, the power generation system includes a control sub-system (112, 212, 312) having a controller, and a plurality of switching elements (130, and 132 or 201). The controller is configured to selectively control switching of one or more switching elements (130, and 132 or 201) based on a value of an operating parameter corresponding to at least one of the prime mover, the DFIG, or the secondary power source to connect the rotor-side converter in parallel to the line-side converter to increase an electrical power production by the power generation system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a power system having a doubly fed induction generator are provided. In example implementations, an electrical power system connected to a power grid can include a generator comprising a stator and a rotor, the stator connected to the power grid via a stator power path, and a power converter. The power converter can include a line-side converter coupled to the power grid via a converter power path and a rotor-side converter coupled to a rotor bus of the rotor and the line-side converter via a DC link, the rotor-side converter configured to convert a DC power on the DC link to an AC signal for the rotor bus. The power system can also include an active filter comprising one or more active controlled components, the active filter being coupled in parallel with the rotor-side converter to reduce harmonics of the electrical power system.

Abstract: A hybrid power plant including a plurality of power sources and controllers, a hybrid plant controller, and a computing system. The controllers operate the power sources according to operating set points. The hybrid plant controller transmits the operating set points to the controllers. The computing system is coupled to the hybrid plant controller and receives a first set of input parameters from a first subscriber, and carries out a first level of services to which the first subscriber subscribes to determine operating parameters for the first subscriber. The computing system receives a second set of input parameters from a second subscriber and carries out a second level of services to which the second subscriber subscribes to determine operating parameters for the second subscriber. The computing system then computes the operating set points based on aggregate operating parameters for the first and second subscribers.
