Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 9:
10. A method for controlling a power plant including a plurality of generator units that are connected to an electrical grid at a single shared connection point, the method comprising:
measuring a demand of the electrical grid at the connection point;
calculating a plant level active current set point and a plant level reactive current set point based on the demand of the electrical grid;
determining an active voltage vector and a reactive voltage vector for the plurality of generator units based on the plant level active current set point and the plant level reactive current set point;
determining an angle based on a Power Factor at the shared connection point;
determining a collective active current set point and a collective reactive current set point for the plurality of generator units based on the angle and the plant level active current set point and the plant level reactive current set point;
individualizing, based on a number of generator units included in the plurality of generator units, the collective active current set point and the collective reactive current set point; and
dispatching an individualized active current set point and an individualized reactive current set point to generator controllers associated with each generator unit of the plurality of generator units.
