Abstract: The invention relates to controlling a power generating unit. Aspects of the invention include determining a virtual impedance value (Zvir), determining a virtual grid power (Pvsm) based on the virtual resistance value (Rvir) and the grid current (Igrid), determining a virtual synchronous machine rotational speed (ωVSM) and/or a synchronous machine angle (θVSM) of a virtual synchronous generator, and determining a voltage reference (Vabc) for controlling a line side converter to generate the desired reactive power (Qgrid) based on the virtual synchronous machine rotational speed or angle (ωVSM, θVSM), a virtual voltage (ΔVαβ, ΔVdq) and the voltage magnitude reference (Vqref).

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of controlling at least one wind turbine of a plurality of wind turbines connected to an electrical grid at a predefined point in the electrical grid. The wind turbine comprises a DC link connecting a generator side converter to a line side converter, where the line side converter is controlled according to a modulation index requested by a power converter controller. The method comprises determining a harmonic frequency signal indicative of a harmonic frequency value at the predefined point in the electrical grid; determining a deviation between the harmonic frequency signal and a permissible harmonic frequency value; determining a permissible modulation index based on the deviation; comparing the permissible modulation index to the modulation index requested by the power converter controller; and, altering a DC link voltage set-point based on the comparison between the permissible modulation index and the requested modulation index.

Abstract: Controlling a power converters during over voltage condition. A wind turbine signal is monitored for detection of an over voltage of the grid and upon detection of the over voltage, an over-modulation mode is initiated wherein the grid side converter is operated with a modulation index being increased in an over-modulation range at least during a sub-period of the over-modulation mode, and upon the detection of the operational condition, a DC-voltage adjustment mode is initiated wherein the DC voltage of the DC link is decreased from a second voltage level towards a first voltage level at least during a sub-period of the DC-voltage adjustment mode.

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: This invention concerns a method of controlling a line side converter of a power converter system operating in an over-modulation range. The line side converter comprises a controller comprising a feedback control module configured to output a feedback control signal for modifying a drive signal received by a modulator. The method comprises determining a modulation index within the over-modulation range; and, controlling the feedback control module to adjust the feedback control signal based on the modulation index.

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 controlling one or more renewable power generators forming a renewable power plant, and a controller configured to perform the method. In one aspect, plant voltage control is carried out on the basis of a more accurate voltage-reactive power relationship value which is determined dynamically based on grid conditions rather than the conventional approach of the voltage-reactive power relationship being a static value that is based on information provided by a transmission system operator during installation or commissioning of the power plant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for damping drive train oscillations of a VSM configured wind turbine. The method comprises determining a drive train damping power signal based on speed signal representing a generator speed, determining a power deviation based on a combination of a power reference for a desired power production, the drive train damping power-signal, a grid power supplied by the line side converter to the grid and a damping power, determining a virtual synchronous machine angle based on the power deviation so that the derivative of the virtual synchronous machine rotational speed is indicative of the power deviation, determining a converter reference for controlling the line side converter to generate the desired active power based on the virtual synchronous machine angle and a voltage reference for a voltage amplitude to be generated by the line side converter, and applying the converter reference to the line side converter.
