METHODS FOR ADAPTING WIND FARMS FOR GRID COMPLIANCE

A method for controlling a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines connected to a power grid includes terminating use of an existing farm-level controller of the wind farm. The method also includes installing an upgraded farm-level controller in place of the existing farm-level controller. Further, the method includes communicatively coupling the upgraded farm-level controller to each of theplurality of wind turbines. Moreover, the method includes replacing at least one component of a subset of the wind turbines with an upgraded component capable of satisfying one or more grid requirements. Thus, the method also includes controlling the wind farm via the upgraded farm-level controller. 种用于控制具有连接到电力网的多个风力涡轮的风场的方法包括终止风场的现有场级控制器的使用。该方法还包括安装升级的场级控制器代替现有的场级控制器。此外，该方法包括将升级的场级控制器通信地耦合到多个风力涡轮中的各个。此外，该方法包括用能够满足个或多个电网要求的升级构件替换风力涡轮的子集中的至少个构件。因此，该方法还包括经由升级的场级控制器来控制风场。
