Abstract

A management system for a wind energy plant including at least one control unit, and a method using the management system are disclosed. The management system is used to coordinate component modules of the wind energy plant with vibration damping modules and/or load reduction modules, wherein a sensor system supplies data of the operating states of the component modules for a system analysis. For this purpose, reactive vibrations and/or predictive forecasts of vibrations of the wind energy plant, and predictive disturbance variables are registered, and the vibration damping modules and/or load reduction modules in the control unit are activated, wherein an actuator carries out damping measures and/or load reduction measures on the component modules in accordance with the vibration damping modules and/or load reduction modules of the control unit.
