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; monitoring a signal for detecting a voltage in the electrical grid which requires an increase in output voltage from the power generating system; determining a partial-load condition of the converter, which corresponds to the converter being configured to output a voltage which is substantially below its maximum output voltage; and upon determining the partial-load condition, operating the tap changer to tap down the transformer, and operating the converter to provide the required increase in output voltage from the power generating system.
