Abstract
Provided is a method of damping mechanical oscillations of plural wind turbines of a wind park commonly supplying electric energy to a grid, the method including: determining, for each of the plural wind turbines, a damping control signal for counteracting an oscillation of the respective wind turbine; supplying at least a subset of or a subset of modified versions of the damping control signals to respective wind turbines such that a sum of the supplied damping control signals is lower than a threshold.
