Abstract: A method is provided of protecting a wind turbine with a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) against a sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) event acting on the wind turbine. A plurality of power-output values or current-output values is measured over a given period of time that corresponds to a measurement cycle. It is determined whether power-output values or current-output-values measured in the at-least-one measurement cycle are indicative of an SSR-event critical for further operation of the wind turbine. The wind turbine is shut down if the measured power-output values or current-output values are indeed indicative of an SSR- event critical for operation of the wind turbine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a decision support system (DSS, 1) for maintenance of renewable energy generators, such as wind turbine generator (WTG, 11). A forecasting module (FM, 21) outputs renewable power plant relevant parameters (PF) in a prediction window of time (TW), whereas an optimization module (OPT, 22) receives the relevant parameters (PF),and proposes a maintenance schedule (PROP-MAN) for the renewable power plant (WPP)in order to optimize the produced energy with respect to the demand in said predefined prediction window (TW). A renewable energy generator condition module (WT-CON, 23) outputs condition data into maintenance recommendations (REC-MAN) for one or more renewable energy generators. Finally,a renewable energy generator maintenance recommendation module (WTM, 24) is arranged to combine the proposed maintenance schedule and the maintenance recommendations into a final maintenance decision proposal (FIN-PROP-MAN).The invention changes the traditional concept of reactive and predictive maintenance technique for renewable energy generators, such as wind turbine generators.
