  • Publication number: 20130035798
    Abstract: Method of operating a wind power plant including the steps of: operating the wind power plant at an current parameter schedule (Pcurrent(v)) performing a wind prediction of wind data (Vw) for a time frame (?T) extending to a future time T, determining a desired fatigue load level (Fdesired) of a wind power plant component at the future time T, and during operation of said wind power plant generating an updated parameter schedule (Pdesired(v)) to provide the desired fatigue load level (Fdesired) at time T if exposed to the predicted wind conditions (Vw(t)) during said time frame (?T)

  • Publication number: 20110182712
    Abstract: It is presented a method for controlling the instantaneous power output from a wind power plant. Wind speed and wind directions are determined, wherein an upper limit power output for the specific wind speed and wind direction is determined from a previously measured power output value at the same wind speed and wind direction, and wherein the power output of the wind power plant is controlled based on the determined upper limit power output. A wind power plant is also presented.
