Abstract:
A method is provided of controlling a doubly fed induction generator- (DFIG) wind turbine converter system if a sub-synchronous resonance event acts on the wind turbine. According to the method a sub-synchronous resonance event is detected. Thereupon, a switch from a non- SSR-control mode to a SSR-control mode is performed. At least one of the following activities is performed in the SSR-control mode, namely: (i) freezing rotor AC voltages in magnitude and phase, (ii) altering at least one rotor-current-controller gain (iii) altering at least one rotor-current-controller time constant, to dampen the effect of the SSR-event on the wind turbine.

Abstract:
A method for controlling a current injected to a power grid (2) from a renewable power plant (1), in response to a voltage event in the power grid (2), is disclosed. Occurrence of a voltage event in the power grid (2) is detected. At least a current at a point of common coupling (3) between the renewable power plant (1) and the power grid (2) is determined, and the determined current is provided to a power plant controller (4). The power plant controller (4) derives individual current setpoint corrections for at least some wind turbines (5) within the renewable power plant (1), based on the determined current, and dispatches each derived current setpoint correction to wind turbine controllers (6) of the corresponding wind turbines (5). The wind turbine controllers (6) control a current output of the respective wind turbines (5), based on measurements of current and/or voltage at a point of connection (8) between the wind turbine (5) and an internal grid (7) of the renewable power plant (1), and by taking the current setpoint correction dispatched from the power plant controller (4) into account.
