Abstract:
A method of operating a wind park having a plurality of wind turbines is provided. The method includes determining a grid condition indicator indicative of the condition of a grid into which the wind park feeds; determining a first maximum power value of the wind park on the basis of the grid condition indicator; determining an operating margin on the basis of the grid condition indicator, for a grid condition indicator indicative of a weak grid; determining a second maximum power value on the basis of the operating margin; and curtailing the active power output of the wind park according to a maximum power value. A computer program product for carrying out the steps of such a method; an active power controller adapted for use in operating a wind turbine of a wind park; a wind turbine; and a wind park are also provided.
Abstract:
A method of operating a converter of a wind turbine for providing electric energy to a utility grid includes determining a grid voltage. If the grid voltage is between a nominal voltage and a first voltage threshold, i.e. higher than the nominal voltage, a normal procedure for lowering the grid voltage is performed. If the grid voltage is above the first voltage threshold, another procedure for keeping the wind turbine connected is performed, wherein the other procedure is different from the normal procedure. Further a corresponding arrangement is described.
Abstract:
Method, system, and computer readable medium for determining a fault in a power filter of a wind turbine generator. The method may include the steps of calculating a reactive power consumed by the power filter, and comparing the calculated reactive power to a predefined threshold reactive power to determine the fault.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a wind turbine is provided. The method includes monitoring an electrical quantity at an output terminal of the wind turbine. The electric quantity has an amplitude and periodically varying with a grid frequency. The method further includes detecting an oscillation of the amplitude and decreasing active power output from the wind turbine at the output terminal depending on the detected oscillation.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a system for hybrid-transmitting and bridging of a circuit service and a packet service are provided. The apparatus includes a TDM framing unit, a TDM three-direction cross unit, and a mapping and encapsulating unit. The TDM framing unit implements conversion between a line layer TDM signal outside the apparatus and channel layer TDM signals inside the apparatus, and transmits the channel layer TDM signals to the TDM three-direction cross unit. The TDM three-direction cross unit implements cross scheduling on the channel layer TDM signals from a TDM cross apparatus, the mapping and encapsulating unit, and the TDM framing unit. The mapping and encapsulating unit implements conversion between a channel layer TDM signal from the TDM three-direction cross unit and packet service signals from the packet processing unit.
Abstract:
The non-invasive detection of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies is demonstrated. Alleles of fetal RNA-SNPs present in a biological sample (e.g. maternal blood) containing fetal RNA are detected and quantified in order to determine the ratio of the alleles. This ratio is compared to a standard control consisting of euploid fetuses. Deviation of allele ratio indicates the presence of chromosomal aneuploidy.
Abstract:
Methods and kits are provided for diagnosing, monitoring, or predicting preeclaimpsia in a pregnant woman, trisomy 18 and trisomy 21 in a fetus, as well as for detecting pregnancy in a woman, by quantitatively measuring in the maternal blood the amount of one or more RNA species derived from a set of genetic loci and comparing the amount of the RNA species with a standard control.

Methods and kits are provided for diagnosing, monitoring, or predicting the conditions of pre-eclaimpsia, fetal chromosomal aneuploidy, and pre-term labor in a pregnant woman, as well as for detecting pregnancy in a woman, by quantitatively measuring in the maternal blood the amount of one or more mRNA species encoding human chorionic gonadotropin β subunit (hCG-β), human placental lactogen (hPL), human corticotropin releasing hormone (hCRH), KiSS-1 metastasis-suppressor (KISS1), tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TPFI2), placenta-specific 1 (PLAC1), or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and comparing the amount of the mRNA species with a standard control.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a wind turbine is proposed. The wind turbine is in a wind farm and connected to a point of common coupling that is connected to a utility grid. At least one quantity indicative of a short circuit ratio of the utility grid is measured. A control parameter of a control system controlling the wind turbine and the wind farm is adjusted. based on the measured value of the quantity.
