Abstract
A method of controlling a wind turbine generator () comprising an electrical generator () and a power converter (), the power converter () comprising an electrical switch () that is configured to process electrical power produced by the electrical generator (), the method comprising: controlling an output from the electrical switch () using a variable pulse-width modulated control signal, thereby to control characteristics of output power from the power converter (); acquiring sample data () relating to an electronic signal within the wind turbine generator (), wherein the sample data () is used for controlling the wind turbine generator (); and dynamically adjusting a frequency () at which the sample data is acquired to synchronise data acquisition with a carrier frequency () of the control signal.
