    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe operating wind turbines in an offshore park to provide auxiliary power to a local AC grid or to an onshore grid during a grid malfunction. In one embodiment, the offshore park is coupled via a HVDC link to an onshore grid. When the HVDC link is down, a substation in the park includes a backup generator for creating a weak grid for powering auxiliary systems in a pilot turbine. The wind turbines in the park can switch to an auxiliary control system help power the auxiliary systems in the substation and in other turbines. In another embodiment, the offshore park is AC coupled to an onshore grid using a transformer in the substation. The wind turbines can participate in a brown or black start following a grid fault by switching to operating using the auxiliary control system.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of operating a wind turbine generator (WTG) comprising a pitch control system, the method comprising: a) operating the WTG in a normal mode while the WTG is connected to an external grid; b) controlling the pitch angle of the blades using a normal pitch control mode while the WTG is operating in the normal mode; c) detecting a grid loss; d) operating the WTG in a standby mode during the grid loss; and e) controlling the pitch angle of the blades in dependence on a monitored speed parameter of the WTG using a standby pitch control mode different to the normal pitch control mode while the WTG is operating in the standby mode, wherein the standby pitch control mode is less responsive than the normal pitch control mode such that the power consumption of the pitch control system is reduced when the WTG is operating in the standby mode..
