DISABLEMENT OF WIND TURBINES IN A WIND PARK

摘要

Embodiments of the invention generally relate to wind turbine generators, and more specifically to the deactivation of wind turbines in a wind turbine park. A wind park controller may be configured to retrieve data indicating fatigue experienced by each wind turbine of the wind turbine park, and deactivate those turbines determined to be the most fatigued, thereby increasing the lifetime of turbines in the wind turbine park.

主权项

1. A method for operating a plurality of wind turbines in a wind farm, comprising:
determining that one or more wind turbines of the plurality of wind turbines should be deactivated; retrieving data indicating fatigue experienced by each wind turbine of the plurality of wind turbines; and selecting one or more wind turbines of the plurality of wind turbines determined to have a greatest fatigue to be deactivated.
