The method includes collecting, by a power information collecting unit, power information at a snapshot extraction frequency. The snapshot extraction frequency is within a range. Further, the method includes detecting, by an operating status extracting unit, an operating status of at least one load apparatus at the snapshot extraction frequency. The operating status is one of a steady state and a transient state. Furthermore, the method includes generating, by a data set generating unit, a data set including only one or a representative snapshot of the power information, when the normal status is detected; and a data set including a plurality of snapshots of the power information, when the transient state is detected. | 2015-12-10 |

20150357819 | METHODS AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR CONTROLLING POWER GENERATORS - Methods and arrangements for controlling the reactive power of a power generator from an initial reactive power state to a desired reactive power state are disclosed. The power generator belongs to a power farm coupled to an electrical grid. During a transition state, changes in voltage and reactive power demand are detected and control of reactive power is passed from the power farm to the power generator controller, then to a transition controller and finally back to the power farm. The power generator may be a wind turbine and the power farm a wind farm. | 2015-12-10 |
