    Abstract: A variable speed wind turbine is arranged to provide additional electrical power to counteract non-periodic disturbances in an electrical grid. A controller monitors events indicating a need to increase the electrical output power from the wind turbine to the electrical grid. The controller is arranged to control the wind turbine as follows: after an indicating event has been detected, the wind turbine enters an overproduction period in which the electrical output power is increased, wherein the additional electrical output power is taken from kinetic energy stored in the rotor and without changing the operation of the wind turbine to a more efficient working point. When the rotational speed of the rotor reaches a minimum value, the wind turbine enters a recovery period to re-accelerate the rotor to the nominal rotational speed while further contributing to the stability of the electrical grid by outputting at least a predetermined minimum electrical power.

    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: 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: Controlling a current injected to a power grid from a renewable power plant, in response to a voltage event in the power grid. At least a current at a point of common coupling between the renewable power plant and the power grid is determined and provided to a power plant controller (PPC). The PPC derives individual current setpoint corrections for at least some wind turbines, based on the determined current, and dispatches each derived current setpoint correction to wind turbine controllers of the corresponding wind turbines. The wind turbine controllers control a current output of the respective wind turbines, based on measurements of current and/or voltage at a point of connection between the wind turbine and an internal grid of the renewable power plant, and by taking into account the dispatched current setpoint correction.
