Abstract: A method for validating a version of wind turbine control software is disclosed. A first version of the wind turbine control software and a second version of the wind turbine control software are running simultaneously on a controller, by applying identical control input to the first version and to the second version, and the first and the second versions of the wind turbine control software each generating control output, based on the received control input. The wind turbine or wind farm is controlled based on the control output generated by the first version of the wind turbine control software. The control output generated by the first version and by the second version of the wind turbine control software are compared, during a time interval, and the second version of the wind turbine control software is validated, based on the comparison.

Abstract: Obtaining within a private network of a power plant one or more instructions for controlling the power plant, wherein the power plant includes one or more wind turbine generators, and wherein one or more instructions for controlling the power plant are received at an external digital storage device placed externally with respect to the private network. The one or more instructions are stored in a queue in the external digital storage device. The one or more instructions are fetched from the queue independent with respect to events initiated externally with respect to the private network.

Abstract: A method for retrieving operational data from a wind farm via one or more data hubs is disclosed. Operational data is collected from at least one of the wind turbines of the wind farm at a first data hub at the wind farm. The first data hub initiates transfer of the collected operational data towards a data recipient arranged outside the wind farm, and the operational data is received at the data recipient. The first data hub adds transfer information to the operational data, prior to transferring the operational data towards the data recipient. The added transfer information is transferred along with the operational data, the data recipient thereby receiving the transfer information along with the operational data, thereby enabling the data recipient to back trace a transfer history of the received operational data.
