Method for operating a wind energy installation

Roland Weitkamp
TLDR
In this article, a method for operating a wind energy installation was proposed, where the wind energy system is switched off following the release of a deactivation signal by a safety cut-out device (20) which logically overrides a management system.
Abstract: 
The invention relates to a method for operating a wind energy installation, whereby said wind energy installation (10) is especially switched off following the release of a deactivation signal by a safety cut-out device (20) which logically overrides a management system. Said method is improved in that, following a safety cut-out, the wind energy installation (10) is reactivated by means of an operating device (41) which is spatially separated from the wind energy installation (10). The invention further relates to an energy supply system comprising at least one wind energy installation (10), to a safety chain on a wind energy installation, and to a wind energy installation.

Wind turbine maintenance system

Larisa Sharonova
TL;DR: In this paper, a wind turbine monitoring system with a central monitoring device and one or more wind turbines is described, where the monitoring device is capable of receiving signals (e.g., visual signals) generated by the cameras of the wind turbines and the visual signals provide sufficient information to the central monitoring devices to determine whether maintenance to the wind turbine is required.
