Wind turbine generator system
View Patent ↗To shorten a startup interval to reach a synchronizing condition, a phase difference and an amplitude difference between the grid voltage and the stator voltage of one phase of a winding are obtained. The difference in amplitude is decreased prior to or in parallel to synchronizing the stator voltage with the grid voltage. The calculated compensation phase compensation value is used as an initial value for synchronizing at the next synchronizing operation.
1. A controller for a wind turbine generator system,
wherein the wind turbine generator system includes
a doubly-fed generator that includes a stator and rotor, the rotor being coupled to a wind turbine for generating electric power,
a switch arranged on a side of the stator for linkage with a grid, and
a power converter for exciting a secondary winding of the doubly-fed generator,
wherein the controller comprises:
an adjuster that, when the switch on the side of the stator is open, decreases an amplitude difference or a phase difference between a grid voltage and a stator voltage of the doubly-fed generator.
2. A method for use in a controller in a wind turbine generator system,
wherein the wind turbine generator system includes
a doubly-fed generator that includes a stator and rotor, the rotor being coupled to a wind turbine for generating electric power,
a switch arranged on a side of the stator for linkage with a grid, and
a power converter for exciting a secondary winding of the doubly-fed generator,
