Abstract: A method for optimizing the operation of a wind turbine having a rotor with at least one rotor blade, a tower, and a wind turbine controller, comprises determining a first load status of the wind turbine based on metereological data acquired by sensors, including a turbulence intensity; determining a second load status of the wind turbine based on mechanical loads on at least one wind turbine component; and increasing a load of the wind turbine, if the determined first and second load status of the turbine are within selectable load limits. A wind turbine implementing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for controlling a wind turbine during adverse wind conditions. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring one or more wind conditions near the wind turbine. Another step includes detecting one or more adverse wind conditions near the wind turbine. In response to detecting one or more adverse wind conditions, the method also includes reducing a power output of the wind turbine by a predetermined percentage. Further, the predetermined percentage is a function of a number and a type of the detected adverse wind conditions occurring during a predetermined time period.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及在不利的风力条件下控制风力涡轮机的系统和方法。 在一个实施例中，该方法包括监测风力涡轮机附近的一个或多个风力状况。 另一步骤包括检测风力涡轮机附近的一个或多个不利风况。 响应于检测到一个或多个不利风况，该方法还包括将风力涡轮机的功率输出减少预定百分比。 此外，预定百分比是在预定时间段期间发生的检测到的不利风况的数量和类型的函数。
