The method includes operating the wind turbine generator to consume electrical power from the electrical grid. Further disclosed is a method for increasing a ramp rate capacity of a wind power plant comprising a plurality of wind turbine generators. The method includes operating at least one of the plurality of wind turbine generators to consume electrical power.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for wind turbine generators for reducing electrical disturbances in the form of power variations which are caused by damping controllers arranged the compensate structural oscillations by inducing shaft torque variations. The shaft torque variations are generated by imposing corresponding variations in a generator set-point, e.g. a power or torque set-point. Variations in the generator set-point cause undesired variations in the power injected to the grid by one or more wind turbine generators. According to an embodiment of the invention the electrical disturbances may be reduced by limiting a damping controller's control action. The amount of limitation or restriction of the damping controller may be determined on basis on electrical disturbance information determined from power measured e.g. at a location on the grid.
