Abstract: A method for controlling an electrical power system connected to an electrical grid having a generator and a power converter includes monitoring a speed condition of the electrical power system. The method also includes dynamically determining at least one regulator maximum limit for at least one regulator of the power converter based on the monitored speed condition. Further, the method includes operating the at least one regulator based on the at least one dynamic regulator maximum limit to avoid overmodulation of the electrical power system during high-slip operation and to improve sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI) performance of the electrical power system.

Abstract: A method for operating a inverter-based resource connected to a power grid includes receiving one or more voltage feedback signals created by at least one component of the inverter-based resource, wherein distortion components of the one or more voltage feedback signals are more sensitive to voltage distortion created by the inverter-based resource than by external sources of voltage distortion. Further, the method includes extracting a distortion component of the one or more feedback signals having a certain phase sequence and frequency. Moreover, the method includes determining a voltage command for the power converter as a function of, at least, the distortion component. Thus, the method includes controlling the power converter based on the voltage command such that the voltage distortion created by the at least one component of the inverter-based resource is reduced in a manner that is relatively insensitive to voltage distortion created by sources external to the inverter-based resource.

Abstract: A method for controlling voltage of a DC link of a power converter of an electrical power system connected to a power grid includes operating the DC link to an optimum voltage set point that achieves steady state operation of the power converter. The method also includes monitoring the power grid for one or more transient events that may be an indicator of one or more sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI) conditions occurring in the electrical power system. Upon detection of the transient event(s) occurring in the power grid, the method also includes immediately increasing the optimum voltage set point to a higher voltage set point of the DC link. Moreover, the method includes operating the DC link at the higher voltage set point until the sub-synchronous control interaction(s) is damped, thereby optimizing voltage control of the DC link.
