Abstract: A method for operating a wind farm is provided. The wind farm includes at least two groups of wind turbines, each of the at least two groups of wind turbines includes at least one wind turbine of the wind farm, each of the wind turbines of the wind farm belonging to one of the at least two groups of wind turbines. The method includes determining a power setpoint for the wind farm, determining a group curtailment setpoint for each of at least two groups of wind turbines, determining a power production value of each of the at least two groups of wind turbines, determining for each of the at least two groups of wind turbines a power reference value using the respective group curtailment setpoint and the respective power production value, determine for each of the at least two groups of wind turbines a group power setpoint which is proportional to the respective power reference values, and operating the at least two groups of wind turbines in accordance with the respective group power setpoint.

Abstract: A wind turbine system is provided. In various embodiments, the system includes a nacelle supported by a tower. At least one rotor blade is rotatably connected with the nacelle to capture wind energy. The at least one rotor blade rotates relative to the nacelle for generating electricity. A generator is coupled to the nacelle for converting the wind energy into electrical energy. A transformer-converter assembly comprises a converter and a transformer such that the converter is integrally connected to the transformer. An electrical and control module is electronically coupled to the generator and the transformer-converter assembly.

Abstract: A system for determining the output capacity of a power generating system including a sensor that monitors at least one condition of the power generating system and outputs the monitored condition data, and a power capability determination device that dynamically determines a full capacity of the power generating system based upon the outputted environmental data from the electronic controller.
