Abstract:
A wind power plant system comprising: a plurality of wind turbine generators each having a corresponding generator controller, and a power plant controller for controlling the power generated by the wind power plant system; wherein at least some of the plurality of generator controllers are each configured to: generate a model that indicates the thermal capacity of one or more components of the wind turbine generator, determine power capacity data from the model, said data relating to: at least one reactive power supply level and a corresponding time limit for which that reactive power supply level may be maintained, and transmit to the power plant controller the determined power capacity data, wherein the power plant controller is operable to receive the power capacity data from the plurality of generator controllers and to transmit respective power references to the plurality of generator controllers to control the power generated by the wind power plant system.
