Abstract:
A method for controlling a wind turbine system including an electrical generator, a power converter system, a DC-link, and at least a grid-side breaker arrangement controllable between open and closed states, wherein the method comprises monitoring for the presence of a shutdown event and, in response to identifying the presence of a shutdown event, controlling the wind turbine into a production-ready state, comprising: i) controlling the grid-side breaker arrangement in the closed state; ii) disabling one or more drive signals to the power converter system; and iii) controlling the DC-link of the power converter system in a charged state. Advantageously, this approach reduces the frequency of use of the grid-side breaker arrangement which extends serviceable life considerably, and also allows the wind turbine system to be transitioned rapidly between an operating state and a production-ready state.

Claim (Index 13):
A computer program product on a machine readable medium, comprising program code instructions which, when executed, perform an operation for controlling a wind turbine system including an electrical generator, a power converter system including a DC-link, and at least a grid-side breaker arrangement controllable between open and closed states; wherein the operation comprises:\n monitoring for a shutdown event and, in response to identifying the shutdown event, controlling the wind turbine system into a production-ready state, comprising: i) controlling the grid-side breaker arrangement in the closed state; ii) disabling one or more drive signals to the power converter system; and iii) maintaining the DC-link of the power converter system in a charged state.
