A method is provided for operating an electric energy production facility during a fault in a utility grid to which energy is to be delivered. The energy production facility includes at least one wind turbine. The method includes disconnecting the utility grid from the wind turbine. The method further includes connecting an external generator via a cable to an auxiliary equipment of the wind turbine, to deliver active power to the auxiliary equipment. The cable is connected to a converter of the wind turbine the converter supporting reactive power. A corresponding arrangement also provided.

A method is provided for controlling a wind turbine connected to a node connected to a utility grid. The node also has a plurality of other wind turbines connected to it. The method includes measuring a quantity indicative of a slope of a voltage at the node in dependence of active power delivered to the node, determining that the slope is smaller than a negative slope limit, and performing a measure, in order to increase the slope above the slope limit.

Wind turbine control for a weak grid by reducing active power output

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a voltage level of a power supply grid operationally connected to a source of electrical power, the method comprising the steps of determining a short circuit impedance of the power supply grid at a point of common coupling, calculating, using the determined short circuit impedance, a gain value of the power supply grid, and controlling the grid voltage level in accordance with the calculated gain value by applying said gain value as a gain parameter in a voltage controller. The method according to the present invention may be implemented as a method for configuring a voltage controller once and for all, or it may be implemented as a method for adaptively adjusting a gain of a voltage controller.
