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 an over-voltage condition in the electrical grid which requires a reduction in the output voltage from the power generating system; initiating a convertor response mode configured to provide at least part of the required voltage reduction; and initiating a transformer response mode configured to provide at least part of the required voltage reduction; wherein the transformer response mode comprises operating the tap changer to adjust the output voltage from the power generating system.
