Abstract: A method for controlling a power generating asset having a generator with a stator operably coupled to a transformer and a rotor operably coupled to the transformer via a power converter includes using an angle of a phase-locked loop (PLL) reference signal of a PLL at a PLL reference node of the power generating asset to transform a three-phase set of signals to a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system of a synchronously rotating frame. The two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system includes x and y components of at least one of voltage and current. The method also includes determining one or more dynamic decoupling factors as a function of one or more of the x and y components of at least one of voltage and current. Further, the method includes applying the one or more dynamic decoupling factors to current command calculation logic to mitigate a coupling effect of one or more current command components.
