Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for operating a wind turbine includes receiving a value of a sensor and comparing the value with a reference, determining depending on the comparison between the value with the reference whether a malfunction of the wind turbine is present; determining the cause of the malfunction of the wind turbine depending on at least one of: the sensor type or the measured value, wherein the cause determination includes: automatically creating a first list including at least one possible cause of the malfunction depending on the sensor type or the measured value; and automatically creating a second list including a sequence of at least two steps, wherein a first step of the second list is based on the a cause selected from the first list and a second step of the second list is automatically determined based on a result of the first step.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for operating a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a control system, the method comprising: detecting a malfunction of the wind turbine by: receiving in the control system at least one value of at least one sensor, the control system being configured to: compare the at least one value with at least one reference; depending on the comparison between the at least one value with the at least one reference, detect whether a malfunction of th…
