The invention relates to a method for operating a wind turbine which comprises a power generator, a generator side converter, a grid side converter, a DC link electrically connected to an output of the generator side converter and an input of the grid side converter. The method comprises monitoring a wind turbine signal for detection of an operational condition which requires an increase of an output voltage of the grid side converter, upon detection of the operational condition, initiate an over-modulation mode wherein the grid side converter is operated with a modulation index in an over-modulation range, and upon the detection of the operational condition, initiate a DC-voltage adjustment mode wherein the a DC-voltage of the DC link is increased from a first voltage level towards a second voltage level.

Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexboxes, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed at a lower cost at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead routed to the flexible datacenters for performance. The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably shared a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions.

A method described delivers power to a first load and a second load from networked power plants. The method may include receiving a power delivery profile for the first load, receiving a power delivery profile for a second load, determining a power output capability of a first renewable energy power plant (REPP), and determining a power output capability of a second REPP. The method may also include setting a power output for the first REPP and a power output for the second REPP based on the power delivery profile for the first and second loads and the power output capabilities of the first and second REPPs. The method may also include allocating a combined power output of the first and second REPPs to the first and second loads and delivering the allocated combined power output to the first and second loads.

A method for stabilizing a DC voltage in a DC grid that includes a DC bus connected to a higher-order grid and to which an energy generating system and at least one load are connected. A variable electric grid output is exchanged between the DC bus and the higher-order grid in order to keep the DC voltage in the DC bus at a nominal voltage. The energy generating system includes a PV generator connected to the DC bus via a DC-to-DC converter and which exchanges an electric generator output with the DC bus. In a normal operating mode, the generator output is set to a normal operating output by the DC-to-DC converter on the basis of an MPP output of the PV generator. In a grid support mode, the generator output is set to a grid support output on the basis of the DC voltage in the DC bus in order to counteract a power imbalance between the electric power supplied in total to the DC bus and the power drawn in total from the DC bus.

A bipole power transmission scheme includes a first converter station that is positioned, in-use, remote from a second converter station. First and second transmission conduits and a return conduit interconnect, in-use, the first converter station with the second converter station and thereby permit the transfer of power between the first and second converter stations. The first converter station includes a first power converter, a second power converter, and a converter station controller.

In one example, the method may include receiving measurements from one or more sensors on a power grid, the measurements including data of an oscillation within the power grid, determining, via execution of one or more machine learning model, a candidate set of power system components disposed on the power grid that are candidates for being the source(s) of the oscillation, identifying, via execution of an optimization model, a component from among the candidate set of power system components which is the source (e.g., location, controller type, and/or asset type) of the oscillation, and displaying, via a user interface, information about the identified component.

A wind generator assembly for harnessing wind to charge batteries in electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles includes a housing that is mounted on a roof of a vehicle. The housing has a wind passage extending therethrough and wind passes through the wind passage when the vehicle is driven. A turbine is rotatably positioned in the housing. The turbine is positioned in the wind passage and the turbine is rotated by wind passing through the wind passage. A generator is mounted in the generator space and the generator is in mechanical communication with the turbine. Thus, the turbine rotates the generator when the turbine rotates thereby facilitating the generator to produce electrical current. The generator is electrically coupled to batteries in the vehicle to charge the batteries.
