Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for reactive power generation for a wind turbine generator includes receiving a voltage command signal, and adjusting this voltage command signal as a function of the wind turbine reactive power. A reactive current is determined for the wind turbine generator in response to the adjusted voltage command signal and is transmitted to a controller of the wind turbine generator for generating a real and reactive power based on the reactive current command.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for reactive power generation for a wind turbine generator, comprising: averaging measured reactive current for all or a subset of wind turbines within a wind farm or substation to generate a field-level average reactive power output signal; receiving a voltage command signal, the field-level average reactive power output signal, and the wind turbine's actual reactive power; generating a voltage trim value as a function of the field-level averag…
