The present application provides a method and a system for controlling continuous high voltage ride-through and low voltage ride-through of a permanent magnet direct-driven wind turbine. The method includes: determining a transient time period during which the wind turbine is transitioned from a high voltage ride-through state to a low voltage ride-through state; controlling the wind turbine to provide, during the transient time period, a gradually increasing active current to the point of common coupling; and controlling the wind turbine to provide, during the transient time period, a reactive current to the point of common coupling according to an operation state of the wind turbine before the high voltage ride-through state.

A rotation speed avoidance control method for a wind turbine generator system. The method comprises: when a power-limited operation instruction is received, determining a power value upper limit required by the instruction: determining whether the required power value upper limit is in a power avoidance interval corresponding to a rotation speed avoidance interval; and when the required power value upper limit is in the power avoidance interval, setting the maximum allowable power value of a wind turbine generator system to be a lower boundary value of the power avoidance interval. An upper boundary value of the power avoidance interval is a power value determined on the basis of an upper boundary value of the rotation speed avoidance interval, and the lower boundary value of the power avoidance interval is a power value determined on the basis of a lower boundary value of the rotation speed avoidance interval, wherein the rotation speed avoidance interval and the power avoidance interval are open intervals. By means of the control method, an operation range of the rotation speed of a wind turbine generator system in a power-limited operation state can be prevented from overlapping with a rotation speed avoidance interval, thereby preventing resonance of the generator system, load increase or other safety problems. In addition, the present invention further relates to an apparatus for implementing the control method, and a wind turbine generator system.
