Abstract:
A method is provided for determining a voltage bounding range defining a range of a wind turbine reference voltage for a wind turbine for controlling an output voltage of the wind turbine at a wind turbine output terminal. The method includes obtaining information regarding an electrical characteristic of a transmission line connecting the wind turbine output terminal to a point of common coupling to which plural other wind turbines are connectable. The method further includes defining the voltage bounding range based on the electrical characteristic of the transmission line.

A method for determining a limit value of a wind turbine reference operational variable is described The wind turbine being connected to a connection node to which a utility grid is connected. The method includes: obtaining a first input signal indicative of a connection node limit voltage; obtaining a second input signal indicative of a connection node voltage; and determining the limit value of the wind turbine reference operational variable based on the first signal and the second signal.

Abstract:
The present disclosure related to a method and a controller for controlling an AC generator which is used in connection with a wind turbine having a variable speed. The multi-phase generator is connected to a controllable converter and is controlled to provide a desired power or a desired torque. An AC reference signal is generated, which would provide the desired power or torque. A P+Resonant converter may be used to control an electrical characteristic of the generator in view of the reference, by applying control signals to the controllable converter. Thereby, the need to transform the electrical characteristic into a rotating frame may be eliminated which provides for a less complex controller.

A wind park, a method of correcting voltage imbalances, and a wind turbine are provided. The wind park includes at least one wind turbine; a transformer coupled between the at least one wind turbine and a power grid. The transformer includes a primary winding arrangement coupled to the power grid, and a secondary winding arrangement coupled to the at least one wind turbine. The power grid includes at least three power lines, each power line conducting a respective phase of a multi-phase current. Each power line of the power grid is coupled to the primary winding arrangement via an individual tap changer. Influences of the detected voltage imbalances on the wind turbines can be compensated.
