    Abstract: A method of operating a wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine comprises a turbine rotor with at least one blade having a variable pitch angle, a power generator, and a power converter connected to the power generator via a first circuit breaker and to a power grid via a second circuit breaker. According to the method, overvoltage events at the power grid are monitored. If an overvoltage event is detected, the method comprises opening the first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker, disabling active operation of the power converter, connecting a power dissipating unit to the power generator to dissipate power output from the power generator, and moving the pitch angle of the at least one blade towards a feathered position.

    Abstract: Parameters of PM machines, especially for IPM machine, are known to vary by significant amounts. This affects the controllability of such machines, which may lead to reduced power loading capability and increased losses. The present invention relates to a method for PM machine inductance profile identification based on voltage mode stator flux observation which could be easily integrated to the generator start-up process in wind turbine application for both stator flux vector feedback control system and current vector feedback control system.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a control system for compensating undesired electrical harmonics on an electrical grid. Part of the control system referred to as a harmonic compensator is operatively connected with a power inverter of a power producing unit supplying power to the grid. Another part of the control system, referred to as an impedance detector, is operatively connected to a point of coupling to which point one or more power producing units are connected. The impedance detector is configured to scan impedances as a function of frequency to identify frequencies of impedance peaks which peaks are indicative of resonance frequencies. The determined resonance frequencies are supplied to one or more the harmonic compensators. A compensator determines control signals to the inverter which causes the inverter to inject compensation currents to the grid which currents will damp currents oscillating at or close to the determined resonance frequency.
