Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling a wind power plant comprising a plurality of wind turbines being operatively connected to a plant collector grid, the method comprising the steps of providing a desired power reference signal; determining the power production of the wind power plant, and generating an actual power reference signal in response thereto; comparing the desired power reference signal with the actual power reference signal, and performing one of the following steps: 1) applying a first filter characteristic as part of a generation of a wind turbine power reference if the desired power reference signal exceeds the actual power reference signal; or 2) applying a second filter characteristic as part of the generation of the wind turbine power reference if the actual power reference signal exceeds the desired power reference signal, wherein the first filter characteristic is different from the second filter characteristic. The invention also relates to a power plant controller, a wind power plant and a computer program product.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of controlling a wind turbine (WT) in a wind power plant, the wind turbine comprises a wind turbine controller (WTC) and at least one connected wind turbine component (WTCO) the wind turbine controller (WTC) receiving data packets (DP) originating from a central controller (CC), at least one of said data packets comprising instructions, the WTC performing the followings steps if one of said data packets (DP) comprises a combined "write/read" instruction (WRI) - effectuating a write instruction designated by said data packets (DP), - retrieving information data (ID) resulting from the above effectuation of said write instruction from at least one of said wind turbine component (WTCO), - transmitting said information data to said central controller (CC) upon reception of the information data from at least one wind turbine components (WTCO).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of registering events in a wind power system comprising at least two data processors, wherein the data processors of said wind power system are mutually time synchronized, wherein events are registered in said at least two data processors, wherein the timing of said events registered in different of said at least two data processors is established according to said time synchronization. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, events may be registered and preferably analyzed according to a common timing. This analyzing makes it possible to establish an analysis where events of different wind turbines are basically interrelated and where information regarding such interrelation is important or crucial for establishment of control or fault detection based on correctly timed events from different wind turbines.
Abstract:
A method for authorisation of a user to access a computer system locally at a site is described. The computer system determines whether a network connection to a remote authentication source is available. If the network connection is available, the computer system authenticates the user by interaction with the remote authentication source. If the network connection is not available, the computer system authenticates the user against a credential provided by the user. In this case, the credential will have been provided by or validated by the remote authentication source less than a predetermined time prior to the authenticating step, and the credential is a certificate issued by a certificate authority already trusted by the computer system and valid for a predetermined period of time. A suitable computer system is also described.
Abstract:
The invention related to a wind farm monitoring and control system, said system comprising - at least one wind farm, - at least one intelligent management server connectable to said at least one wind farm via a data communication network, - at least one wind farm configuration tool related to said intelligent management server for establishment of connection(s) to said at least one wind farm. The present invention presents a system for monitoring and control of wind farms. The monitoring and control is performed so that it is possible to monitor and control several wind farms homogeneously. Hereby it is possible to monitor and control different wind farms simultaneously with a uniform output and it is moreover possible to compare data from the wind farms.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a central controller (CC) adapted for controlling a number of wind turbines (WT), said wind turbines (WT) are controlled and monitored by said central controller (CC) via a first monitoring and control network (MCNl) and a second monitoring and control network (MCN2). The term monitoring and control network is in accordance with an embodiment of the invention understood as a data communication network which communicates at least control data for control of wind turbines, but may also communicate monitoring data, i.e. measure data. A typical example of a control of wind turbines is that the central controller sets the power set-point (the power to be produced) of each wind turbine in the wind power plant. A further advantageous feature of the invention is also that the important control signals may be separated from high-bandwidth requiring monitoring data, such as analysis data in the communication network.
