Abstract
Aspects of the present invention relate to a method for controlling a plurality of renewable energy generators. The method comprises: determining preliminary reactive power set points for the generators based on a reactive power reference value; determining generator-based and voltage-based reactive power limits for the generators; generating dispatch signals for requesting reactive power from the generators based on the preliminary set point and the limits; and dispatching the dispatch signals to the generators. The generator-based reactive power limits correspond to the reactive power capability of the generator. The voltage-based limits are determined by: determining a terminal voltage of the generator; comparing the determined terminal voltage to a voltage limit; and determining the voltage-based reactive power limit based on the comparison.
