AI Technical Summary
Modern wind turbines face challenges in quickly ramping up power production to maintain grid stability, as single power ramp-up rates can cause issues with rotational speed and pitch angle control, leading to potential disconnection from the grid and inefficient power generation.
Implementing a method that uses two distinct power ramp rates, starting with a first rate to reach an intermediate power value and then switching to a second rate to achieve the target power, with a predetermined power difference between these values, to ensure efficient and rapid power increase without excessive stress on the turbine.
This approach allows for fast and reliable power ramp-up, maintaining rotor speed and reducing undesired loads, while adhering to grid code requirements, thus enhancing the efficiency and stability of wind turbine operations.
