Abstract

A wind turbine control method includes: acquiring in real time a current wind direction of each upstream wind turbine in a wind farm; determining a current main wind direction to which the current wind direction of each upstream wind turbine belongs; determining, according to an association between the main wind directions of multiple upstream wind turbines and downstream wind turbines in the main wind directions, a downstream wind turbine associated with the current main wind direction of each upstream wind turbine; determining, according to an operating status and an operating parameter of the downstream wind turbine associated with the current main wind direction, a control instruction for each downstream wind turbine associated with the current main wind direction; and controlling, according to the control instruction, each downstream wind turbine associated with the current main wind direction. Also provided are a corresponding control device, a controller, and a control system.
