Method for controlling boosted power output of a power generating unit

A renewable power plant, comprising:

• a plurality of power generating units, coupled to a power grid, wherein each of the power generating units is adapted to provide a power output to the power grid;
• and
• a controller operable to control the power output of at least one of the power generating units according to an operation comprising:
• forecasting an amount of power that the power generating unit will output during a predefined time interval;
• measuring an amount power output by the power generating unit from a beginning of the predefined time interval to a point in time prior to an end of the predefined time interval;
• prior to the end of the predefined time interval, estimating, based on the measured amount of power and a constant power output from the point in time until the end of the predefined time interval, an amount of power that the power generating unit will output from the beginning of the predefined time interval to the end of the predefined time interval;
• deriving a difference between the forecasted amount of power and the estimated amount of power;
• and
• boosting the power output of the power generating unit based on (i) the estimated amount of power falling below the forecasted amount of power and (ii) the difference between the forecasted amount of power and the estimated amount of power being larger than a predefined threshold value.
