SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A POWER GENERATION SYSTEM BASED ON A DETECTED ISLANDING EVENT

摘要

In one aspect, a method for controlling the operation of a power generation system configured to supply power to an electrical grid may generally include detecting an occurrence of an islanding event (400) associated with the power generation system and adjusting a regulator gain (404) applied within a regulator of the power generation system to an islanding gain value in response to the detection of the islanding event, wherein the islanding gain value exceeds a maximum gain value defined for the regulator in the event of an occurrence of any ride-through transient event. In addition, the method may include controlling a power converter of the power generation system (410) based on a control signal generated by the regulator (408) as the power generation system is being isolated from the electrical grid and shutting down (412) the power generation system upon isolation of the power generation system from the electrical grid.
