  • Patent number: 12055127
    Abstract: The invention relates to a monitoring system for monitoring the operation of a number N of wind turbines WT1, WT2, . . . WTN; wherein N being an integer, wherein each wind turbine WTX is being controlled by an associated control system CSX in accordance with an array of predetermined control criteria by transmitting control instructions CIX from said control system CSX to said wind turbine WTX, including control instructions CIX instructing said wind turbine WTX to shut down or to operate under reduced power production. Each wind turbine is being coupled to a master controller MC, wherein said master controller MC is being configured to be able to transmit to the control system CSX associated with one or more of said wind turbines WTX, a master instruction MIX, overruling control instructions being transmitted from said control system CSX to said wind turbine WTX with the view to shut down said wind turbine WTX or with the view to force said wind turbine WTX to operate under reduced power production.

  • Publication number: 20240026858
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving reporting of operational data of a wind turbine during operation thereof; said method comprising the steps of: allowing an array of sensors to sense one or more specific parameter values of said wind turbine during operation thereof; in respect of one or more sensors, transmitting said parameter value being sensed to a control system; allowing said control system to register a critical event in case a sensed parameter value, or a combination of two or more sensed parameter values, represents a situation in which it is desired to shut down the wind turbine according to one or more predetermined criteria; allowing said control system to set a specific alarm at a point in time at which a specific critical event is registered; and allowing said control system to reset said specific alarm at a point in time at which the registration of the presence of said critical event ceases; wherein each specific alarm is associated with a corresponding alarm ID; wherein said

  • Patent number: 10697438
    Abstract: A monitoring system (100) monitors displacement of a wind turbine tower and includes at least one plumb bob with an upper part and a lower part, each plumb bob being configured to be pivotally suspended at its upper part, via a suspension device, from a point above so as to attain a rest position in a rest situation, and each said plumb bob has one or more sensing surfaces (12, 12?). One or more suspension devices means (10) suspend the at least one plumb bob. Two or more sensors (14, 14?, 14?), each being configured to sense, in a specific sensing direction (16, 16?, 16?), a distance to a plumb bob, provide displacement data. At least two of the two or more sensors (14, 14?, 14?) are arranged in a sensing vicinity of a plumb bob, with at least two of the specific sensing directions (16, 16?, 16?) not being parallel to each other.
