System and method for reducing oscillations in a renewable energy power system

A renewable energy power system connected to a power grid, the renewable energy power system comprising:

• a generator comprising a rotor and a stator;
• a power converter operably coupled to the generator;
• and
• a controller for controlling the renewable energy power system, the controller configured to perform a plurality of operations, the plurality of operations comprising:
• operating the renewable energy power system at one or more first operational settings;
• monitoring the renewable energy power system for electrical oscillations;
• and,
• in response to detecting the electrical oscillations being above a predetermined threshold indicative of the one or more first operational settings no longer being suitable for grid conditions, changing the one or more first operational settings to one or more different, second operational settings so as to reduce the electrical oscillations in the renewable energy power system, the electrical oscillations being caused by a grid or system disturbance.
