The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for controlling a power-grid connected wind turbine generator during grid faults. During grid faults, the stator windings of the wind turbine generator are disconnected from the power grid and impedances for dissipating at least part of the power generated by the wind turbine during grid fault condition are connected to the stator windings. In this way, a certain magnetisation of the generator can be maintained and after removal of the grid fault condition, the generator is synchronised to the power grid and the impedances are disconnected and the stator windings are reconnected to the power grid. In this way, it is possible to keep the wind turbine generator at least partly magnetised during grid faults and thus ready for delivering power to the power grid, as soon as the grid voltage is re-established after the fault.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for controlling a power grid connected to wind turbine generator during grid faults, the generator comprising a rotor driven by a wind turbine and a stator normally connected to the grid, and the stator, during normal operation being connected to deliver power to the power grid, and the generator comprising a double-fed asynchronous generator, the rotor including windings normally connected to the grid through a back-to-back converter so as to transfer energy between the rotor windings and the grid in a controlled manner, said method comprising the steps of: a) disconnecting the stator windings from the power grid when a grid fault condition is detected, b) connecting the stator windings to impedances for dissipating between 0 and 100% of the power generated by the wind turbine during a grid fault condition, c) maintaining a certain magnetization of the generator during a grid fault condition, and d) after removal of the grid fault condition, synchronizing the generator with the power grid and disconnecting the impedances and reconnecting the stator windings to the power grid, the method further comprising the step of maintaining the connection of the back-to-back converter to the grid during a grid fault condition and controlling the back-to-back converter so as to deliver a controlled short-circuit contribution to the grid during a grid fault condition. 2. The method in accordance with claim 1, further comprising the steps of connecting the impedances in a star or delta configuration and connecting the stator windings in a star or delta configuration, the connecting steps being dependent on measured parameters for the wind turbine. 3. The method in accordance with claim 1, wherein the double-fed asynchronous generator comprises electronically controlled impedances connected to the rotor windings, the method further comprising the step of controlling the electronically controlled impedances connected to the rotor windings during a fault condition such that a selected magnetization of the generator is maintained during a fault condition. 4. A wind turbine generator connected to a power grid, said generator comprising: a wind turbine-driven rotor; a stator, said stator, being connected, during normal operation, to deliver power to the power grid, means for disconnecting the stator windings from the power grid when a fault condition is detected; and means for connecting impedances to the stator windings, said impedances being dimensioned to dissipate between 0 and 100% of the power generated by the wind turbine during a grid fault condition, said generator further comprising means for maintaining a certain magnetization of the generator during disconnection and means for synchronizing the generator with the grid before reconnection to the grid after a fault clearance, the generator comprising a double-fed asynchronous generator comprising a back-to-back converter connected between the rotor and the grid, and the means for disconnecting the stator windings from the power grid serving to maintain the connection between the back-to-back converter and the power grid when a fault condition is detected. 5. Apparatus in accordance with claim 4, wherein the means for disconnecting the stator windings from the power grid, and the means for connecting the stator windings to the impedances, comprise contactors. 6. Apparatus in accordance with claim 4, wherein the means for disconnecting the stator windings from the power grid, and the means for connecting the stator windings to the impedances, comprise power electronic switches. 7. Apparatus in accordance with claim 4, further comprising connection means for connecting the impedances and/or the stator windings in a star and/or delta configuration. 8. Apparatus as claimed in claim 7 wherein said connection means comprise contactors. 9. Apparatus as claimed in claim 7 wherein said connection means comprises power electronic switches. 10.
