Abstract:
A method for controlling a renewable energy power plant comprising a plurality of renewable energy generators, the method comprising: carrying out the following steps dynamically: determining a reactive power capability value of the power plant based on the generated active power of each of the renewable energy generators within the power plant; determining a reactive power exchange limit value based on a measured grid voltage level; and controlling the power plant so that the generated reactive power does not exceed the lower of the determined reactive power capability value and the determined reactive power exchange limit value that are determined dynamically.
