POWER OSCILLATION DAMPING EMPLOYING A FULL OR PARTIAL CONVERSION WIND TURBINE

摘要

A wind turbine (8) for controlling power oscillations on a grid of a power system (28). The wind turbine (8) comprises rotor blades (12) for turning by the wind, an electric generator (20) rotatably coupled to the rotor blades (12), a power converter (24) responsive to electricity generated by the electric generator (20), the power converter (24) for converting the generated electricity to a frequency and voltage suitable for supply to the power grid (28), and the power converter for regulating voltage on the grid supplemented by modulating real power for damping the power oscillations.
