Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for controlling a wind power plant, the wind power plant comprising a plurality of wind turbine generators, each wind turbine generator comprising at least one power converter for providing active power and/or reactive power to an electrical grid, wherein the method is determining a required amount of reactive power provided by the plurality of wind turbine generators, and grouping the plurality of wind turbine generators into a first set of wind turbine generators and a second set of wind turbine generators based on a demand for reactive power; and supplying reactive power to the grid () from the first set of wind turbine generators and disconnecting the second set of wind turbine generators from the electrical grid () in response to a control demand, in order to minimize active power losses. The present invention also relates to a wind power plant arranged to perform the method.
