    Abstract: A controller for controlling the operation of a power plant, the power plant comprising a wind turbine and a solar power generator, the controller comprising: an input arranged to receive an input signal indicative of an operating parameter of the solar power generator; a shadow detection module arranged to monitor the operating parameter and to detect a shadow at least partially shading the solar power generator, the detected shadow being caused by a blade of the wind turbine; a shadow prediction module arranged to predict at least one subsequent blade shadow in dependence on the detected blade shadow; a command module arranged to determine a command signal for controlling the solar power generator based on the blade shadow prediction; and an output arranged to output the command signal to the solar power generator.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a wind turbine system comprising a support structure with a plurality of wind turbine modules mounted to the support structure. A control system is arranged to enter a service mode wherein service can be performed in the wind turbine system by applying a first control command to a first subset of wind turbine modules for terminating power production. A second control command is applied to a second subset of wind turbine modules for bringing the second subset of wind turbine modules into an damping mode where each of the wind turbine modules of the second subset is operated and/or positioned to damp vibrations, actively and/or passively, of at least one wind turbine module of the first subset of wind turbine modules.
