Operating a renewable energy power plant connected to a power network at a point of interconnection. The plant includes: one or more renewable energy generators connected to a collection point of the renewable energy power plant, and a connecting network connecting the collection point to the point of interconnection. One method includes: receiving one or more measurement signals indicative of measured power characteristics of the renewable energy power plant at the point of interconnection; determining a dynamic short circuit ratio (DSCR) at the point of interconnection based on the one or more measurement signals; determining an equivalent dynamic short circuit ratio (EDSCR) at the collection point based on the determined DSCR at the point of interconnection and one or more components of an impedance of the connecting network; and controlling the one or more renewable energy generators by determining and dispatching active power set points based on the determined EDSCR.
