    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a method for reducing high torque levels and/or high rates of change of torque in a wind turbine generator that comprises a machine-side converter and a line-side converter connected by a DC link, and, wherein the line-side converter is operated according to a virtual synchronous machine control scheme. The method comprises: determining a generator torque; determining a torque surplus indicating the amount that the generator torque exceeds a torque limit; determining an active power surplus corresponding to the torque surplus; controlling the line-side converter according to the virtual synchronous machine control scheme using an input parameter configured to reduce the active power output of the line side converter by the active power surplus.

    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling power oscillations at a point of common coupling in a wind park. Individual power reference offsets defining an adjustment to a wind turbine power reference signal for counteracting mechanical oscillations in the respective wind turbines are received from respective wind turbine controllers. Based on an aggregated power reference offset, a total power oscillation compensation signal is determined. Individual power oscillation compensation signals for adjusting the wind turbine power reference signal of respective wind turbines are determined based on the individual power reference offsets and the total power oscillation compensation signal. These individual power oscillation compensation signals are then sent to the respective wind turbines.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products for providing an inertial response by a wind power system to power fluctuations in an electrical grid. The system includes a synthetic inertial response generator configured to generate a power offset in response to fluctuations in grid voltage. The power offset signal is generated by determining a quadrature component the grid voltage using an internal reference voltage having an angular frequency and phase angle that is synchronized to the electrical grid by a control loop. The quadrature component is used to determine a synchronous power level. A control loop error signal is produced by the difference between the synchronous power level and the wind turbine system power output. Changes in the grid frequency produce an error signal that is added to the power set point of wind turbine system output controllers to provide a power system inertial power output response.

    Abstract: A method for detecting power oscillation in an electric power grid, wherein the method comprises: integrating a filtered signal on a first interval, the filtered signal being associated with the electric power grid; based on the integration of the filtered signal on the first interval, determining a positive half-period area of the filtered signal and a negative half-period area of the filtered signal, one of the positive half-period area and negative half-period area being immediately subsequent to the other one; and determining that a power oscillation in the electric power grid is detected if the following two conditions are met:



    a sum of the positive half-period area of the filtered signal and the negative half-period area of the filtered signal is below a first threshold; and
    the absolute value of one of the positive half-period area and negative half-period area is above a second threshold.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine is disclosed. During full load operation, a power reference value, Pref, representing a power level to be supplied to the power grid by the wind turbine, is received, and the wind turbine is controlled in order to produce an output power which is at or near the power reference value, Pref, while maintaining a constant torque on the generator. In the case that the produced output power of the wind turbine exceeds the power reference value, Pref, excess produced energy is stored in the energy storage system, and in the case that the produced output power of the wind turbine is below the power reference value, Pref, stored energy is retrieved from the energy storage system. A power level being equal to the power reference value, Pref, is supplied to the power grid.
