Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a wind turbine. Accordingly, a controller of the wind turbine detects a loss of traction of the slip coupling between a generator and a rotor of the drivetrain of the wind turbine. In response to detecting the loss of traction, the controller overrides a generator torque setpoint to alter a rotational speed of the generator. In response to the altered rotational speed of the generator, the traction of the slip coupling is increased. Increasing the traction of the slip coupling facilitates an application of generator torque to the drivetrain of the wind turbine.

Abstract: A method for controlling an electrical power system connected to a power grid includes receiving a reactive power command and a measured reactive power and generating a reactive power error signal based on a difference between the reactive power command and the measured reactive power. Further, the method includes receiving, via a reactive power regulator, the reactive power error signal. Moreover, the method includes generating, via the reactive power regulator, a voltage command based on the error signal. The method also includes generating, via a droop control, a voltage droop signal. In addition, the method includes generating a voltage error signal as a function of the voltage droop signal and at least one of the voltage command or a measured terminal voltage. Thus, the method further includes generating, via a voltage regulator, a reactive current command based on the voltage error signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for grounding power generation systems with silicon carbide MOSFET power converters are provided. A power generation system can include a power generator comprising a multiphase rotor configured to generate multiphase alternating current power at a first voltage and a power converter comprising one or more silicon carbide MOSFETs and an isolation transformer. The power converter can be configured to convert the multiphase alternating current power from the power generator at the first voltage to multiphase alternating current power at a second voltage. The power generation system can be electrically grounded to shunt a leakage current associated with the isolation transformer of the power converter to a ground.
