  • Patent number: 11384733
    Abstract: A method, controller, wind power plant, and computer program product are disclosed for operating a wind power plant comprising a plurality of wind turbines, the wind power plant producing a plant power output. The method comprises receiving a modulation request signal indicating a requested modulation of the plant power output, the requested modulation specifying a modulation frequency. The method further comprises generating a respective power reference signal for each of at least two wind turbines of the plurality of wind turbines selected to fulfill the requested modulation, Each generated power reference signal includes a respective modulation component corresponding to a portion of the requested modulation and having a frequency different than the modulation frequency.
    Type: Grant
