  • Patent number: 12164653
    Abstract: Techniques for authenticating and authorizing user access to a component of a power plant within a private network of a renewable power plant having wind turbine generators. One technique includes providing at a local computer system in the private network a list of credentials and authorizations representing a plurality of identifiers and authenticators of users and corresponding access authorizations. The local computer is in direct communication with components of the power plant and is configured to receive a request for access from a user via a computer interface in the component in the private network. If the requested access can be granted by consulting the list of credentials and authorizations, the grant is communicated from the local computer to the computer interface in the component, and in case access cannot be granted, a request for update of the list of credentials and authorizations is communicated from the local computer system to a central computer system outside the private network.

  • Publication number: 20230313778
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for controlling a wind power plant that receive operating command requests via a distributed system comprising a plurality of subsystems each associated with a respective party capable of issuing requests. One subsystem generates a request to operate the wind power plant in accordance with a defined operating command desired by the associated party. The request is broadcast to each of the other subsystems to approve or disapprove the requests. Each subsystem broadcasts to the other subsystems if it approves the request, and each subsystem maintains a database including a record of which subsystems have approved the request. The wind power plant is controlled based on which subsystems have approved the request, where at least one subsystem other than the subsystem that generates the request needs to have approved the request before the plant implements the defined operating command.
