Abstract

A method for determining a fault in a power filter of a wind turbine generator, the method including the steps of: calculating a reactive power consumed by the power filter; and comparing the calculated reactive power to a predefined threshold reactive power to determine the fault. A system for detecting a fault in a power filter of a wind turbine generator, and a computer readable medium containing computer program code for determining a fault in a power filter of a wind turbine generator are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for monitoring the performance of a power filter in a power generation system and detecting failure or failure of a power filter in the system. In a preferred embodiment, the power generation system is a high capacity wind turbine. Background technique [0002] Power generation systems typically convert an energy source into electrical energy by spinning a rotor of a generator. Electricity is supplied to the grid at a specific voltage and frequency, and the grid then delivers the power to consumers. In order to ensure that power is supplied at a constant voltage and frequency, various control devices / equipment can be employed. For wind turbine generators that do not turn the generator rotor at a constant speed, it is particularly challenging to ensure that power is delivered at the desired voltage and frequency. The electricity generated by the turbines must be converted into stable el...
