Wind turbine generator, control method for wind turbine generator, wind turbine generator system, and control method for wind turbine generator system

A control method for a wind turbine generator including a rotor that rotates by wind power and a generator that is driven by rotation of the rotor, the method comprising the step of:

• controlling a power output of the generator to increase while a rotational speed of the generator decreases when a frequency of a utility grid becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined rated frequency and when the rotational speed of the generator is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value.

A control method for a wind turbine generator including a rotor that rotates by wind power and a generator that is driven by rotation of the rotor, the method comprising the step of:

• controlling a power output of the generator to decrease while a rotational speed of the generator increases when a frequency of a utility grid becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined rated frequency and when the rotational speed of the generator is smaller than a second predetermined value.

A control method for a wind turbine generator system including a plurality of wind turbine generators each having a rotor that rotates by wind power and a generator that is driven by rotation of the rotor and a management and control device that controls the plurality of wind turbine generators by transmitting a predetermined control signal to the plurality of wind turbine generators, the method comprising:

• a step of transmitting, from the management and control device to the wind turbine generators, a first control signal for increasing power output when a frequency of a utility grid becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined rated frequency;
• and
• a step of increasing, in each of the wind turbine generators, the power output of the generator thereof in response to the first control signal while a rotational speed of the generator thereof decreases when the rotational speed of the generator thereof is greater than or equal to a first predetermined value.

A control method for a wind turbine generator system including a plurality of wind turbine generators each having a rotor that rotates by wind power and a generator that is driven by rotation of the rotor and a management and control device that controls the plurality of wind turbine generators by transmitting a predetermined control signal to the plurality of wind turbine generators, the method comprising:

• a step of transmitting, from the management and control device to the wind turbine generators, a second control signal for decreasing power output when a frequency of a utility grid becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined rated frequency;
• and
• a step of decreasing, in each of the wind turbine generators, the power output of the generator thereof decreases in response to the second control signal while the rotational speed of the generator thereof increases when the rotational speed of the generator thereof is smaller than a second predetermined value.
