A method, controller, wind power plant, and computer program product are disclosed for operating a wind power plant comprising a plurality of wind turbines, the wind power plant producing a plant power output. The method comprises receiving a modulation request signal indicating a requested modulation of the plant power output, the requested modulation specifying a modulation frequency. The method further comprises generating a respective power reference signal for each of at least two wind turbines of the plurality of wind turbines selected to fulfill the requested modulation, Each generated power reference signal includes a respective modulation component corresponding to a portion of the requested modulation and having a frequency different than the modulation frequency.

Modulating wind power plant output using different frequency modulation components for damping grid oscillations

The present invention relates to method for operating a power plant, with at least one wind turbine generator arranged for supplying power to an electrical grid, at least one energy storage device arranged for supplying power to the electrical grid, and a power plant controller, the method comprises, measuring repetitively measurement sets of at least one electrical parameter from the electrical grid, and calculating, in respect the measurement sets of the at least one electrical parameter, a change in active and/or a required change in reactive power at a point of common coupling, and calculating and dispatching of a first control reference signal to the at least one wind turbine generator and a second control reference signal to the at least one energy storage device, for providing ancillary service functionalities to the electrical grid. The invention also relates to a power plant with at least one wind turbine generator for supplying power to an electrical grid, at least one energy storage device for supplying power to the electrical grid, and a power plant controller for providing ancillary service functionalities to the electrical grid.
