Abstract
A method for validating and initializing a control system for an electrical generator connected to a power converter in a wind turbine. The method may include generating a first parameter value representing control signal for controlling the stator flux of a stator of the electrical generator, measuring a second parameter value specifying an electrical operational characteristic of the electrical generator, and determining an accuracy level of the control signal based on the first parameter value and the second parameter value, wherein the accuracy level of the control signal has to fall within a predefined threshold for the control system to be validated.
