Abstract

A power limiter system is described. The power limiter system is configured to receive a phase locked loop (PLL) error signal; analyze the PLL error signal to identify an occurrence of a grid contingency event; generate a first power command signal corresponding to an occurrence of the grid contingency event; and, transmit the first command signal to a converter interface controller. The system further includes a memory configured to store at least one variable that corresponds to the PLL error signal upon identification of an occurrence of the grid contingency event.
