    摘要: A method of mitigating a vibration of a wind turbine not receiving power from to a utility grid includes: receiving power from an energy storage system of the wind turbine; utilizing the power received from the energy storage system: to detect a wind direction and to adjust an orientation of the rotor axis of a rotor shaft, if a criterion is satisfied taking into account at least the relative orientation of the rotor axis and the detected wind direction and/or taking into account a level of the vibration.

    摘要: A control arrangement of a wind turbine includes a watchdog including a reset module and a trigger module, wherein the watchdog reset module is configured to perform an internal reset when a sign-of-life signal is received from a remote communication system within a predetermined time limit, and wherein the watchdog trigger module is configured to issue a watchdog trigger when the predetermined time limit is exceeded; a sensor arrangement including a number of sensors configured to observe local parameters and to report local sensor data; and a wind turbine controller that initiates a local control sequence in response to the watchdog trigger, which local control sequence is configured to switch between a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation on the basis of the local sensor data. A method of operating a wind turbine is further provided.

    摘要: A wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine includes a wind rotor and a generator, mechanically coupled to the wind rotor. The wind turbine is configured to operate in a first mode of operation and in a second mode of operation, wherein, in the second mode of operation, the wind rotor is oriented in an opposite direction relative to a wind direction compared with the first mode of operation. The generator of the wind turbine is configured to generate power both in the first mode of operation and in the second mode of operation. Furthermore, a corresponding method of operating a wind turbine is provided.

    摘要: A method for transitioning a wind turbine into an energy harvesting mode in which the wind turbine generates electrical power from wind energy is provided. An energy storage system supplies electrical power to an auxiliary system when the wind turbine is not generating or receiving electrical power sufficient for supplying the auxiliary system. The method includes operating the wind turbine in a first operating mode in which an electrical power supply is ceased; obtaining environmental data including at least one of wind data and meteorological data; and determining if the obtained environmental data meets a predefined condition. If the predefined condition is met, a transition of the operation of the wind turbine into the energy harvesting mode is caused, wherein transitioning the operation into the energy harvesting mode comprises supplying electrical power from the energy storage system to the one or more auxiliary power consumers of the first group.
