  • Patent number: 8793027
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for curtailing electrical power supplied from a wind turbine or a group of wind turbines to an associated power supply grid, the method comprising the steps of determining an available electrical power level from the wind turbine facility and setting a wind speed independent curtailment level. The curtailment level may be a percentage of an actual available electrical power level or a fixed power level. The method further comprises the step of operating the wind turbine facility in such a way that the generated electrical power supplied from the wind turbine facility equals the difference between an actual available electrical power level and the curtailment level. The present invention further relates to a wind turbine facility and a curtailing controller for carrying out the invention.

  • Patent number: 7851934
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a wind turbine connected to the utility grid comprising steps of detecting a fault of the utility grid, and controlling one or more rotor blades in a fault mode wherein said one or more rotor blades are pitched in order to stabilize the rotor speed within an over speed range. The invention also relates to a wind turbine and a wind park comprising at least two wind turbines.
