摘要: A method for operating a wind farm connected to a power grid that demands a reactive power requirement that varies with active power includes monitoring a wind speed at each of the plurality of wind turbines in the wind farm. When the wind speed is within a cut-in wind speed range, the method includes determining a reactive power margin of the wind farm based on the reactive power requirement at an active power output corresponding to the wind speed and a reactive power availability of each of the plurality of wind turbines at the wind speed. The method also includes determining a lowest possible cut-in rotor speed for each of the plurality of wind turbines that satisfies the reactive power margin. Further, the method includes commanding each of the plurality of wind turbines to cut-in and begin to produce power at the lowest possible cut-in rotor speed that satisfies the reactive power margin.

摘要: The method includes: dividing the wind farm into a first group of wind turbines to be operated in a non-curtailed mode and a second group of wind turbines to be operated in a curtailed mode for providing a power reserve for the wind farm; determining an actual power production of the first group of wind turbines; estimating a possible maximum power production of the second group at a given environmental condition; estimating a possible maximum power output of the wind farm using the actual power production of the first group and the possible maximum power production of the second group; estimating the power reserve using the possible maximum power output; and updating a power setpoint for at least one wind turbine of the second group so that an expected power production of the second group of wind turbines substantially matches a difference between the possible maximum power production and the power reserve Furthermore, a wind farm is provided.

摘要: A system and method are provided for controlling a wind farm. Accordingly, a demand signal is received from the electrical grid. The farm-level controller also receives a plurality of capability metrics from each wind turbines, which include, at least, a steady-state power availability, a transient power availability and a responsive capability of each wind turbine. The farm-level controller determines a power production capability profile for each wind turbine and determines the availability of each wind turbine to meet at least a portion of the demand signal based on the power production capability profiles. The farm-level controller also determines which portion of the demand signal to be satisfied by each wind turbine based on the availability and the power production capability for each wind turbine.

摘要: A method for automatically controlling a renewable energy facility having a plurality of power sources includes operating, via a farm-level controller, the hybrid renewable energy facility at a first farm-level power set point. The method also includes modifying, via the farm-level controller, the first power set point to a second farm-level power set point. In response to modifying the first power set point to the second farm-level power set point, the method includes generating one or more power change requests for individual controllers of the plurality of power sources. Further, the method includes generating a power output via the plurality of power sources so as to transfer power generation from one of the plurality of power sources to another while minimizing the impact on farm-level production.

摘要: Systems and methods for controlling wind turbines providing reactive power are provided. In particular, a method for controlling a power system that includes a controller and one or more wind turbines electrically connected to a power grid through a point of interconnection can be provided. The method can include receiving signals from a sensor associated with the wind turbines.
