  • Patent number: 10381841
    Abstract: A method for controlling decentralized power generation plants comprises the steps of receiving control commands and/or measuring supply network parameters, processing the received control commands and/or the measured supply network parameters, generating control signals in response to the received control commands and/or the measured supply network parameters for controlling a first power inverter, transmitting the generated control signals to an inverter interface for being output to a first power inverter, adjusting plant parameters, for example the power output of the decentralized power generation plant using the first power inverter in response to the control signals received from the inverter interface. A power generation plant including a power generation plant controller for performing the method is also disclosed.
