Abstract
A method of testing an electrical system of a wind turbine that includes at least one power converter coupled to a generator. The power converter is operable in a power generating mode in which the power converter provides a conversion of electrical power generated by the generator and provides a controllable output of AC electrical power towards a power grid. The method includes operating the wind turbine in a testing mode. Operation in the testing mode includes decoupling the electrical system to be tested from the power grid, operating the power converter as a test condition generator, supplying electrical power to the test condition generator, converting, by the test condition generator, the received electrical power to generate predetermined electrical test conditions, and exposing the electrical system to be tested to the predetermined electrical test conditions. The test condition generator controls one or more electrical characteristics of the electrical test conditions.
