"textContent": "A method of controlling a wind turbine transformer is provided. The transformer has a primary side with a primary winding coupled to a power grid and a secondary side with a secondary winding coupled to an electrical power generating system of the wind turbine. The wind turbine transformer further includes an electronic on-load tap changer having semiconductor switches that are controllable to change a turns ratio of the primary winding to the secondary winding of the wind turbine transformer. The method includes the step of monitoring a voltage on the primary side of the wind turbine transformer, a voltage on the secondary side of the wind turbine transformer, or both. In response to detecting a change in the monitored voltage, the semiconductor switches of the electronic on-load tap changer are automatically controlled to adjust the turns ratio of the wind turbine transformer to compensate for the change.",
