A method for modifying the power output of a wind turbine generator. The power output of a wind turbine generator can be modified based on the rate of fatigue and/or damage calculated for components within the wind turbine generator. Damage and/or fatigue can be calculated based on current or predicted future operating conditions. The turbine operation can be modified if the cost of damage and/or cost of fatigue is less than a value for the electricity produced. In this case, the rate of fatigue is calculated using models of the wind turbine generator or its components, where the model may be based on a metamodel or by an Equivalent Operating Hours approach. |
