Joergen Nygaard NIELSEN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9496812
    Abstract: A control system for controlling a set point of an individual power output of each wind turbine. The wind turbines are grouped into a plurality of groups of wind turbines and each group associated to a sub control unit. A main control unit is adapted to determine a set point for a total power output of each group based on a reference set point for an overall power output of the wind park and on data being indicative for current characteristics of the wind park and adapted to distribute the determined set points between the sub control units via main control signals being provided to the sub control units. Each main control signal is indicative for the set point. Each sub control unit is adapted to determine a set point for an individual power output.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8874424
    Abstract: A fault-ride-through method is provided. The method includes detecting a voltage dip on a power line transmitting electric power. If a voltage dip is detected, the method includes reducing an active current and/or an active power to a specific value, which active current and/or active power is fed by a power generating unit at a feeding point into a power network having a plurality of power lines. Further, a converter of a power generating unit is provided, that is capable of implementing the fault-ride-through method. The power generating unit may be a part of a wind turbine in a wind farm.
