More Information
Summary:A method of operating a power generating system for a wind turbine connected to an electrical grid, the power generating system comprising a power generator, a converter, a transformer and a tap changer, the method comprising; when operating the power generating system in a grid-forming configuration, monitoring a signal for detecting a voltage of the electrical grid which requires an increase in output voltage from the power generating system in order to maintain the grid voltage within a predetermined voltage range; and operating the tap changer to tap-up the transformer to provide at least part of the voltage increase required to maintain the grid voltage within the predetermined voltage range.
