Abstract

A system and method for preventing voltage collapse of a wind turbine power system includes receiving a power input value and a voltage input value from a point of common coupling of the wind turbine power system. The method also includes determining a limit cycle reference point of the wind turbine power system as a function of the input values. The method further includes comparing the limit cycle reference point to at least one predetermined threshold. If the limit cycle reference point is greater than the at least one predetermined threshold, the method includes determining a delta value for the real and reactive voltage commands of the wind turbine power system. Further, the method includes determining updated real and reactive voltage commands based on the delta value. As such, the method also includes operating the wind turbine power system based on the updated real and reactive voltage commands.
