  • Patent number: 8610298
    Abstract: The invention controls the network frequency via an active power reserve obtained by interacting in a coordinated manner with the speed regulation that acts on the power generated or on the pitch angle, to guarantee primary or secondary regulation across the whole range of wind speed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 3, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2013
    Assignee: Ingeteam Power Technology, S.A.

  • Patent number: 8541898
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for controlling a wind power installation connected to an electrical power grid, in case of a fault in said grid. In the electrical machines that form part of the wind power installation, generators and transformers, it is possible to change the impedance of the neutral closure introducing a plurality of active and passive elements. This limits the currents during the grid fault, thereby reducing the peak torque in the mechanical train of the wind turbines and allows guaranteeing compliance with the network connection requirements, as control of the active and reactive currents is maintained at all times.

  • Patent number: 8346400
    Abstract: A power-management system and method for photovoltaic installations connecting to the grid incorporates monitoring active and/or reactive power, account being taken at all times of grid requirements, in order to allow temporary demand arising in the grid to be addressed, thereby contributing to regulation of the grid and to the stability and quality thereof.

  • Publication number: 20110156390
    Abstract: The proposed invention describes an alternative for machines with at least one power unit (101) formed by at least one first electronic converter (106) connected to the rotor (109) of the generator, at least one second electronic converter (107) capable of supplying or drawing off the power which the latter is using or producing, and at least one continuous bus (108); with the proposed method it is possible to control the power of the rotor (109), modifying the synchronization speed of the asynchronous generator (103) when it is disconnected from the electrical network supply (102), by means of variation of the frequency of the currents in the rotor (109) which are generated by the first electronic converter (106).
