28 Sep 2012TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for controlling the voltage level of a wind power plant, by using multi bandwidth voltage controllers, where each wind turbine generator has a first voltage controller with a first bandwidth, arranged for controlling a voltage level.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wind power plant, with at least one wind turbine generator, where each of the at least one wind turbine generator has a first voltage controller with a first bandwidth, arranged for controlling a voltage level, and where the wind power plant has a power plant controller with a second voltage controller with a second bandwidth also arranged for controlling the voltage level, the first bandwidth is larger than the second bandwidth. The invention also relates to a method for controlling the voltage level of a wind power plant, by using multi bandwidth voltage controllers.

31 Aug 2010TL;DR: In this paper, a battery life curve characteristic of the battery and a state of charge profile are used as inputs to each remaining battery life algorithm to compute a consumed battery life for the battery.
Abstract: Method, system, and computer program product for estimating a consumed battery life of a battery used in a wind energy application. An energy storage system for use with a wind farm includes a rechargeable battery configured to be selectively charged by wind turbines or the power grid and configured to be selectively discharged to a power grid. One or more remaining battery life algorithms are used to compute a consumed battery life for the battery. A battery life curve characteristic of the battery and a state of charge profile are used as inputs to each remaining battery life algorithm.

15 Jan 2008TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for monitoring and control of wind farms, in which it is possible to monitor and control different wind farms simultaneously with a uniform output and moreover it is moreover possible to compare data from the wind farms.
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.
