Abstract
A method for operating a wind turbine system, and associated system, provides real and reactive power to a grid. The wind turbine system includes a generator with a power converter and an integrated reactive power compensation device. A total reactive power demand (Qcmd) is made on the wind turbine system at a first grid state, and is allocated to generator reactive power (Qg) and compensation device reactive power (Qmvb). A first reactive power droop scheme is determined that includes a reactive power droop value applied to one or both of the control loops for (Qg) and (Qmvb) at the first grid state. Upon detection of a grid fault, the first reactive power droop scheme is changed to a second reactive power droop scheme by changing the reactive power droop values applied to one or both of the (Qg) and (Qmvb) control loops during recovery from the grid fault.
