    Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine system including an electrical generator, a power converter system, a DC-link, and at least a grid-side breaker arrangement controllable between open and closed states, wherein the method comprises monitoring for the presence of a shutdown event and, in response to identifying the presence of a shutdown event, controlling the wind turbine into a production-ready state, comprising: i) controlling the grid-side breaker arrangement in the closed state; ii) disabling one or more drive signals to the power converter system; and iii) controlling the DC-link of the power converter system in a charged state. Advantageously, this approach reduces the frequency of use of the grid-side breaker arrangement which extends serviceable life considerably, and also allows the wind turbine system to be transitioned rapidly between an operating state and a production-ready state.

    Abstract: A wind turbine generator 1 supplies three-phase a.c. current of variable voltage and variable frequency to two pairs of rectifiers 4a, 4b and 4c, 4d which generate respective d.c. outputs connected to positive, negative and neutral d.c. conductors 6, 7, 8. The outputs from each pair of rectifiers are connected together, and the outputs from the two pairs are connected in series to create a high-voltage d.c. output. Inverters 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d then convert the d.c. power to a.c. at a fixed frequency and voltage suitable for In connection to the mains grid. To reduce the effect of common-mode noise, a capacitor is connected between the 1 neutral conductor 7 and earth, and a respective filter circuit 30 is connected between each of the a.c. outputs of the inverters 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d and earth. To reduce the effect of voltage surges during lightning, a surge protection device is also connected between the neutral d.c. conductor 7 and earth. Any imbalance in the current in the positive and negative conductors 6, 8 is compensated by detecting the presence of current flowing in the neutral conductor 7. Power supplied to auxiliary circuits from the output of one of the inverters, e.g. 10a, of the wind turbine is measured, and any resulting imbalance between the current in the positive and negative conductors is compensated. In the event of an earth-leakage fault in the conductors connecting the a.c. outputs of the inverters to the grid, when isolated, isolation detection relays 25 are provided.

    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.
