  • CONTROL OF ACTIVE POWER RESERVE IN A WIND-FARM
    Publication number: 20110118892
    Abstract: A method and system of active power reserve regulation in a wind farm with a communication network having a plurality of wind turbines that provide an active power reserve in order to support eventual power grid contingencies and to deliver an increase of power in case it is needed.
    Type: Application

  • WIND TURBINE OPERATION METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110057446
    Abstract: The invention relates to wind turbines provided with doubly fed induction generators and with at least one power converter which is novel in that, under certain circumstances, it enables the turbine to operate as a full converter (FC) system, as a doubly fed (DFIG) system or as an asynchronous (AS) system, thereby increasing turbine availability.

  • METHOD OF OPERATION OF A WIND TURBINE TO GUARANTEE PRIMARY OR SECONDARY REGULATION IN AN ELECTRIC GRID
    Publication number: 20110057445
    Abstract: The invention controls the network frequency via an active power reserve obtained by interacting in a coordinated manner with the speed regulation that acts on the power generated or on the pitch angle, to guarantee primary or secondary regulation across the whole range of wind speed.

  • PITCH CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WIND TURBINES
    Publication number: 20100127494
    Abstract: The present invention describes a pitch control system comprising a principal converter, and auxiliary converter, a direct current motor and a power storage system (accumulator) and has four different operation modes: normal, fault (first level), fault (second level) and emergency. In the case that a fault is detected, the system can move the motor in order to move the vanes to the desired position by making a controlled adjustment.
