Abstract: A method of operating a power generating system for a wind turbine connected to an electrical grid, the power generating system comprising a power generator, a converter, a transformer and a tap changer, the method comprising; monitoring a signal for detecting an over-voltage condition in the electrical grid which requires a reduction in the output voltage from the power generating system; initiating a convertor response mode configured to provide at least part of the required voltage reduction; and initiating a transformer response mode configured to provide at least part of the required voltage reduction; wherein the transformer response mode comprises operating the tap changer to adjust the output voltage from the power generating system.

Abstract: A method of operating a power generating system for a wind turbine connected to an electrical grid, the power generating system comprising a power generator, a converter, a transformer and a tap changer, the method comprising; monitoring a signal for detecting a voltage in the electrical grid which requires an increase in output voltage from the power generating system; determining a partial-load condition of the converter, which corresponds to the converter being configured to output a voltage which is substantially below its maximum output voltage; and upon determining the partial-load condition, operating the tap changer to tap down the transformer, and operating the converter to provide the required increase in output voltage from the power generating system.

Abstract: A method of operating a power generating system for a wind turbine connected to an electrical grid, the power generating system comprising a power generator, a converter, a transformer and a tap changer, the method comprising; when operating the power generating system in a grid-forming configuration, monitoring a signal for detecting a voltage of the electrical grid which requires an increase in output voltage from the power generating system in order to maintain the grid voltage within a predetermined voltage range; and operating the tap changer to tap-up the transformer to provide at least part of the voltage increase required to maintain the grid voltage within the predetermined voltage range.
