    Abstract: Embodiments provide for the control of a power plant including several generators by setting a reference frame for the generators with a first and a second axis; measuring a grid demand voltage at the shared connection point; determining active and reactive currents required at the shared connection point based on the grid demand voltage and grid codes; transforming the active and reactive currents required at the shared connection point to the reference frame where the first axis defines a first current set point and the second axis defines a second current set point; and dispatching the first and second current set points to generator controllers associated with each generator. Current set points may be generated for positive/negative frames, direct quadrature frames, real/imaginary frames and may be set evenly for all generators or adjusted per generator.

    Abstract: A method for operating a renewable energy power plant comprising a plurality of renewable energy generators. The method comprises: identifying a predetermined condition of the renewable energy power plant, of the grid, or of the connection between the renewable energy power plant and the grid, the predetermined condition indicating a weak grid interconnection between the renewable energy power plant and the grid; and controlling each renewable energy generator in an adaptive active power mode in response to recovery of the grid from a voltage deviation. The adaptive active power mode comprises: determining a thermal capacity of a chopper resistor of the renewable energy generator; calculating, based upon the determined thermal capacity, a limit level of rate of change of active power output that may be implemented by the renewable energy generator; and operating the renewable energy generator to output active power at the calculated rate of change limit level.

    Abstract: The invention relates to wind turbines, particularly to controlling reactive power exchange between a power grid and a wind power plant. The wind power plant has a plurality of wind turbine generators each having a corresponding power converter with a converter controller. Further, the wind power plant has a power plant transformer with an on load tap changer coupled between the wind power plant and the power grid. The power plant controller is regulating the on load tap changer and is generating reactive component setpoints for the wind turbine generators, when determining a need for production of short-term reactive power due to a sudden change in reactive power measured at the point of common coupling.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a power plant connected to an electrical grid and a method for controlling the power plant. The power plant comprises one or more power generators and at least one synchronous condenser. The power generators may be wind turbine generators, solar photovoltaic elements or other kinds of renewable power generators. During a deviation in frequency on the electrical grid, the synchronous condenser counteracts the frequency deviation, but it may also unintentional supply active power during the frequency event. The control method is controlling the active power supply from the power generators during the frequency events based only on the active power output from the power generators.
