  • Wind power plant control system
    Patent number: 9822765
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wind power plant control system arranged for controlling one or more wind turbine generators in a wind power plant, wherein the wind power plant control system comprises a power plant controller and a modeling unit, the modeling unit being operatively coupled to the power plant controller. The modeling unit is arranged to calculate estimated values of electrical output parameters from the one or more wind turbine generators, and to output said estimated values to the power plant controller. The power plant controller is arranged for determining reference signals for dispatching to the one or more wind turbine generators, wherein the estimated values of said electrical output parameters are used by the power plant controller in the determination of said reference signals. The invention also relates to a corresponding method of controlling a wind power plant.

  • Method of determining individual set points in a power plant controller, and a power plant controller
    Patent number: 9556852
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a power plant controller arranged to carry out the method. The method is on an intelligent dispatching of the power production to wind turbines and optional compensation equipment of a wind power plant, as the power producing units of a wind power plant. The invention relates to a case where the requested produced power (both active and reactive) is less than the total capacity of the power plant, and the invention relates to utilizing this situation to dispatch set points to the wind turbines and the compensation equipment based on correction factors relating to the operating conditions of the wind park. This method may increase the wind turbines' life time, help in scheduling maintenance and expand the electrical operating range of the wind power plant.

  • Method of determining individual set points in a power plant controller, and a power plant controller
    Patent number: 9407186
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and a power plant controller arranged to carry out the method. The method is on an intelligent dispatching of the power production to wind turbines and optional compensation equipment of a wind power plant, as the power producing units of a wind power plant. The invention relates to a case where the requested produced power is less than the total capacity of the power plant, and the invention relates to utilizing this situation to dispatch set points to the wind turbines and the compensation equipment in a flexible way. This flexibility may increase the wind turbines' life time, help in scheduling maintenance and expand the electrical operating range of the wind power plant. The determination of the set points on active and reactive power is a combined determination of both set points for each of the energy producing units of the wind power plant.
