Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine power system that supplies real and reactive power to a grid includes operating a generator of the wind turbine power system up to a first speed limit. The method also includes monitoring a wind speed at the wind turbine power system. When the wind speed drops below a predetermined threshold, the method includes reducing the first speed limit of the generator to a reduced speed limit of the generator. Further, the method includes operating the generator at the reduced speed limit for as long as the wind speed remains below the predetermined threshold so as to optimize a tip-speed-ratio of the wind turbine power system during low wind speeds, thereby increasing power production of the wind turbine power system at low wind speeds.

Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine system, and associated system, provides real and reactive power to a grid. The wind turbine system includes a generator with a power converter and an integrated reactive power compensation device. A total reactive power demand (Qcmd) is made on the wind turbine system at a first grid state, and is allocated to generator reactive power (Qg) and compensation device reactive power (Qmvb). A first reactive power droop scheme is determined that includes a reactive power droop value applied to one or both of the control loops for (Qg) and (Qmvb) at the first grid state. Upon detection of a grid fault, the first reactive power droop scheme is changed to a second reactive power droop scheme by changing the reactive power droop values applied to one or both of the (Qg) and (Qmvb) control loops during recovery from the grid fault.

Abstract: A method for operating a power generation system that supplies real and reactive power to a grid includes receiving a reactive power demand made on the power generation system at an operating state of the power generation system and a grid state. Further, the method includes decoupling reactive power control and voltage control between a generator and a reactive power compensation device so as to reduce an oscillatory response of a reactive power output from the reactive power compensation device and the generator. Moreover, the method includes operating, via a device controller, the reactive power compensation device in a reactive power control mode to generate at least a portion of the reactive power demand.

Abstract: A method for estimating grid strength of a power grid connected to a renewable energy farm having a plurality of renewable energy power systems includes measuring, at least, a voltage, an active power, and a reactive power at a point of interconnection of the renewable energy farm to the power grid.

In addition, the method includes dynamically determining at least one of an active power command or a reactive power command for the renewable energy farm at the point of interconnection based on the grid strength. Moreover, the method includes distributing at least one of the active power command or the reactive power command to individual controllers of the plurality of renewable energy power systems and a farm-level controller of the renewable energy farm.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a power generation system that supplies real and reactive power to a grid, the power generation system including a generator/power converter, and a reactive power compensation device. A total reactive power demand (Qcmd) made on the power generation system is determined , as well as a maximum reactive power capacity for each of a generator stator-side reactive power (Qs), a generator line-side reactive power (Ql), and reactive power from the reactive power compensation device (Qmvb). Allocation of (Qs), (Ql), and (Qmvb) to supply (Qcmd) is coordinated by prioritizing (Qmvb) as a first source of reactive power, and one or both of (Qs) and (Ql) as a second source of reactive power.
