  • Method and system for verifying wind turbine operation
    Patent number: 7948103
    Abstract: A wind turbine verification system is described that includes a wind turbine controller having a plurality of wind turbine operating parameters stored therein and a verification device that includes a processor, memory device, and user input mechanism. The verification device is configured to communicatively couple to the wind turbine controller via a data link. The verification device is also configured to receive at least one parameter from the wind turbine controller and execute a verification program on the wind turbine controller, wherein the verification program is configured to iterate through a plurality of predefined tasks. The verification device is configured to verify at least one operating condition of a wind turbine based on the executed verification program.
