An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including a detection device configured to detect that a disassembly operation has been performed on the UAV and a controller configured to determine whether the disassembly operation is an unauthorized disassembly operation, and prohibit the UAV from moving in response to the disassembly operation being the unauthorized disassembly operation, where the detection device is communicatively connected to the controller.

The present invention relates to a method of controlling a doubly fed induction generator wind turbine converter system in case of a sub-synchronous resonance event, the method comprising the steps of detecting the sub-synchronous resonance event, and switching from a first control mode to a second control mode in response to detecting the predetermined event, wherein the second control mode comprises the step of setting at least one rotor current controller parameter on the basis of a generator speed of the doubly fed induction generator. The predetermined event may also be a fault ride through event. The present invention further relates to a doubly fed induction generator wind turbine converter system being capable of handling such events.
