  • OVERLOAD PROTECTION ON WIND POWER PLANTS USING STRAIN SENSORS
    Publication number: 20240102447
    Abstract: A method (200) for controlling a wind turbine (100) with a rotor having at least one rotor blade (17), the method comprising: measuring (210) a strain of the at least one rotor blade; changing (220) a pitch angle of the at least one rotor blade based at least partially on the measured strain of the at least one rotor blade; whereby the measurement of the strain of the at least one rotor blade measures at least one strain in the area of a blade root of the rotor blade (17).

  • Method for increasing the yield of a wind farm under icing conditions
    Patent number: 11174841
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring a wind farm. The method includes determining a first ice mass on a first wind turbine of the wind farm; determining at least one second ice mass on at least one second wind turbine of the wind farm; comparing a first ice mass with a second ice mass and determining a primary wind turbine, which serves as a reference, and at least one secondary wind turbine from the group of the first wind turbine and the at least one second wind turbine; switching off the at least one secondary wind turbine on the basis of a first ice mass from the primary wind turbine; and switching on the at least one secondary wind turbine on the basis of a second ice mass from the primary wind turbine.
