  • Patent number: 11401917
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power plant controller for controlling wind turbine generators. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for compensating data obtained from measurements at a connection point to the grid in case of a communication failure where communication of such data is lost or becomes unreliable. The measured data are used in the power plant controller for determining setpoints for controlling the wind turbine generators' production of active and reactive power. In response to detection of a communication fault a new setpoint is determined independently of new measured grid data by reconfiguring parts of the power plant controller.

  • Patent number: 10923918
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling injection and absorption of reactive power in a wind power plant (WPP). In addition to wind turbine generators (WTG), the wind power plant comprises reactive power regulating devices, such as MSU and STATCOM devices. The reactive power regulating devices are controlled by wind power plant controller so that the combined amount of reactive power produced by the wind turbine generators and the reactive power regulating devices satisfies a desired amount of reactive power. In case of communication fault between the power plant controller and one of the reactive power regulating devices, the power plant controller is reconfigured so as to compensate the capability of the reactive power regulating device to inject or absorb the amount of reactive power.

  • Publication number: 20190085824
    Abstract: Controlling a first renewable energy power plant by determining power delivery of the first renewable energy power plant to a collector bus; receiving data relating to power delivery from a second renewable energy power plant connected to the collector bus; determining the combined power delivery of the first and second renewable energy power plants to the collector bus; estimating the transmission line power loss on a first transmission line between the collector bus and a power grid point of interconnection (POI) based on the combined power delivery; and regulating the power delivery from the first renewable energy power plant to compensate for the estimated transmission line power loss.
