摘要： A system for generating power includes a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system that provides control commands to a plurality of turbine controllers to cause a windfarm to output power at a level within power parameters in a setpoint. Each turbine controller is installed at a corresponding wind turbine of a plurality of wind turbines in the windfarm. The system also includes a backup system comprising a programmable logic controller (PLC). The PLC receives turbine state information from the SCADA system that characterizes an operational state of each of the plurality of wind turbines in the windfarm and detects that the SCADA system is offline. The PLC also selectively provides start and stop commands to a plurality of terminal interface units (TIUs) to cause the windfarm to output power at a level within the power parameters identified in the setpoint in response to the detecting.

摘要： A method and a system for operating a wind turbine (10) during a fault. The system includes a pitch motor for rotating each rotor blade (18), second pitch sensors (72) for determining when the rotor blade (18) is rotated to a set point, and a backup pitch controller (80). After a fault is detected, the method determines whether the wind speed in the vicinity of the wind turbine (10) is less than or greater than or equal to a maximum rated velocity of the wind turbine (10). The backup pitch controller (80) then rotates the rotor blades (18) to a specific set point based on the determination.

摘要： An actuating drive for a rotor blade in a wind power installation is provided with an electric motor and a frequency converter which has a rectifier that is to be fed from a power supply system, a link connected to the rectifier, and a d.c.-to-a.c. inverter for feeding the motor, the link carrying a specified nominal operating voltage in a network-fed normal operation of the frequency converter. Furthermore, an auxiliary energy supply device is provided that is connected to the link. The auxiliary energy supply device includes and energy store which makes available a support voltage that amounts to less than 80% of the nominal operating voltage of the link. A diode is connected between the energy store and the link, and is arranged, with regard to its forward direction, in such a way that it feeds a support voltage from the energy store into the link if the link voltage falls below the support voltage. The diode prevents a current flow between the energy store and the link if the link voltage is greater than the support voltage. A charging device for the energy store has a lower charging voltage than the nominal operating voltage of the link.
