Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling power generation of a VSM wind turbine. The wind turbine comprises a machine side converter, a line side converter, a DC link, and an electric storage device electrically connected to the DC link. The method comprises determining a first power control signal to the machine side converter, determining a second power control signal for controlling a desired output power of the line side converter based on a storage device voltage error, and a power production reference, and determining a charging current reference for controlling charging and discharging of the electric storage device based on a DC-link voltage error.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a power system of a wind turbine. The power system comprises first and second parallel connected DC-to-AC converters and at least one transformer, where each transformer comprises a primary section connected to a power line, and where the at least one transformer comprises first and second secondary sections connected to outputs of the respective first and second DC-to-AC converters. The method comprises providing a reactive correction reference, changing first and second reactive powers generated by the respective first and second DC-to-AC converters according to the reactive correction reference, so that one of the first and second reactive powers is increased while the other is decreased with amounts corresponding to the reactive correction reference so that the first and second reactive powers are unequal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for shutting down a wind power facility, said wind power facility comprising a power generator, a power converter comprising generator side and grid side converters being separated by an intermediate DC circuit, and power dissipation or power storage means being operatively connected to the intermediate DC circuit, the method comprising the steps of determining that the wind power facility needs to be shut down, and operating the generator side converter in accordance with a load time curve during shutdown of the wind power facility in order to avoid overloading of selected generator side converter components and the power dissipation or power storage means. Moreover, the present invention relates to a wind power facility for performing this method.

Abstract: A wind turbine converter system with a rectifier and an inverter and a converter controller has at least first and second converter strings. The converter system is controlled by a master-converter controller and a slave-converter controller. The master-converter controller controls the first converter string and the slave-converter controller controls the second converter string. The master-converter controller receives commands from a superordinate wind turbine controller, provides the slave-converter controller with string-control commands on the basis of the superordinate control commands, and controls the conversion operation of the first converter string on the basis of the superordinate control command. The slave-converter controller receives the string-control commands from the master-converter controller and controls the conversion operation of the second converter string on the basis of the string-control commands received. The first and the second converter strings can be arranged in a bipolar configuration giving access to a neutral point. Fault detection can be performed based on current through the neutral. The system is capable of fault ride-through. Also, in case of failure of the master-converter controller, a redundant unit takes its place.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a power generating unit such as a wind turbine which is configured as a virtual synchronous machine. Capacitor voltage signals obtained from voltage measurements of output capacitors are filtered in order to reduce a magnitude of an impedance peak and/or shift the impedance peak where the impedance peak is present in an impedance characteristic of the output of the power generating unit. Filter compensated voltage signals obtained from the output capacitors are combined with a voltage magnitude reference to obtain filtered capacitor voltage signals used for controlling the line side converter and thereby affect the impedance peak in a desired way.

Abstract: A method for operating a renewable energy power plant comprising a plurality of renewable energy generators. The method comprises: identifying a predetermined condition of the renewable energy power plant, of the grid, or of the connection between the renewable energy power plant and the grid, the predetermined condition indicating a weak grid interconnection between the renewable energy power plant and the grid; and controlling each renewable energy generator in an adaptive active power mode in response to recovery of the grid from a voltage deviation. The adaptive active power mode comprises: determining a thermal capacity of a chopper resistor of the renewable energy generator; calculating, based upon the determined thermal capacity, a limit level of rate of change of active power output that may be implemented by the renewable energy generator; and operating the renewable energy generator to output active power at the calculated rate of change limit level.
