Abstract: A wind-turbine control device controls a wind turbine generator in which a rotor having a plurality of blades receives wind and rotates. The generator generates electrical power through the rotation of the rotor. The electrical power is supplied to a utility grid, and electric energy to be supplied to the utility grid can be changed according to a change in the frequency of the utility grid. The wind-turbine control device includes a subtracter to calculate a frequency change, which is the difference between a measurement value of the frequency of generated output power of the wind turbine generator and a set value of the frequency of the generated output power of the wind turbine generator. The wind-turbine control device further includes a limiter to limit a change in the electrical power corresponding to the frequency change calculated by the subtracter, based on the rotational speed of the generator.

Abstract: An engine control device, while executing a fuel-cut control, calculates a target intake air amount (Qat) from a basic intake air amount (Qabase) and an added intake air amount (Qaadd) commensurate with an accessory torque (step S14). Next, the engine control device acquires a coolant temperature (Tw) (step S15), and then sets a lower-limit intake air amount (Qamin) (step S16). When the target intake air amount (Qat) is smaller than the lower-limit intake air amount (Qamin) (NO in step S17), the engine control device updates the target intake air amount (Qat) with the lower-limit intake air amount (Qamin). (step S18), and adjusts the degree of throttle opening so that the actual intake air amount (Qa) becomes equal to the target intake air amount (Qat) (step S19).

Abstract: A wind power generator generates power through a rotation of a rotor and is interconnected, and operated with its power generation output previously limited in order to be able to further supply the power to a power system in response to a decrease in system frequency. Thus, a concentrated control system derives a required restricted amount corresponding to a power generation output required to respond to the decrease in system frequency, derives a value by subtracting an amount corresponding to a latent power generation output with which the power generation output can be increased, from the required restricted amount, and sets a restricted amount of the power generation output in each wind power generator to perform the operation with the power generation output previously limited to respond to the decrease in system frequency, based on the above value.
