Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling power generation from a power plant which comprises power generating units such as wind turbine generators. The power generating units are controllable to produce power dependent on individual power set-points. The method comprises steps of obtaining desired target power set-points for one or more prioritized power generating units, determining final target power set-points for the one or more prioritized power generating units based on the target power set-points and an available power adjustment margin of the power plant which is available for adjustment of the power set-points of the one or more prioritized power generating units, and dispatching the final target power set-points to the prioritized power generating units.
