  • Patent number: 9823288
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for monitoring a cable strand containing multiple electrical lines, such that the cable strand is designed to conduct electrical energy generated by a generator in a wind turbine involving the steps: measuring the temperature of at least two of the electrical lines, comparing the temperatures of said lines, and determining whether the two temperatures deviate from one another by more than a predefined threshold.

  • Patent number: 9541067
    Abstract: Thus, a method for operating a wind turbine, a wind farm or the like and a power-to-gas unit connected electrically thereto is provided. The wind turbine or the wind farm generates electric power if there is sufficient wind and feeds this power into an electrical grid connected to the wind turbine or to the wind farm. Each wind turbine is operated with a predetermined power curve. Electric power is generated by the wind turbine or the wind farm once a first wind speed (starting wind) has been reached. The wind turbine or the wind farm is in a partial-load operating mode as long as the wind speed is between the first wind speed (starting wind) and a second wind speed (nominal wind). The wind turbine or the wind farm is in a nominal power range when the wind speed is in a range which is greater than the second wind speed (nominal wind speed).
