Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying correct completion of a power control sequence in a switchgear provide a commissioning agent that can automatically verify correct completion of the power control sequence. The commissioning agent includes a sequence verification tool that can initiate performance of a power control sequence in the switchgear and immediately compare the sequence actually performed to the sequence intended to be performed.

Such an arrangement provides a faster and more reliable way to double-check the system integrity of the switchgear during initial engineering and after factory and/or field modifications.

Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine wherein a parameter for a wind hitting the wind turbine is determined from present values for the generator speed and/or the wind speed at each point in time (t).
