Abstract:
The invention relates to a control system for a wind turbine generator,WTG. The control system defines reactive limits for a reactive power reference for the WTG. The reactive limits are defined as a function of a physical parameter, e.g. the output voltage of the WTG. In case the reactive power reference exceeds the predefined limits, the reactive power reference is limited. By limiting the reactive power reference output voltages which exceed certain output voltage limits may be avoided and, thereby, a disconnection of the WTG from the grid may be avoided.
