Abstract
The invention relates to a monitoring system for monitoring the operation of a number N of wind turbines WT1, WT2, . . . WTN; wherein N being an integer, wherein each wind turbine WTX is being controlled by an associated control system CSX in accordance with an array of predetermined control criteria by transmitting control instructions CIX from said control system CSX to said wind turbine WTX, including control instructions CIX instructing said wind turbine WTX to shut down or to operate under reduced power production.Each wind turbine is being coupled to a master controller MC, wherein said master controller MC is being configured to be able to transmit to the control system CSX associated with one or more of said wind turbines WTX, a master instruction MIX, overruling control instructions being transmitted from said control system CSX to said wind turbine WTX with the view to shut down said wind turbine WTX or with the view to force said wind turbine WTX to operate under reduced power production. The monitoring system MS, in respect of each wind turbine WTX, is being configured to receive and log from the corresponding control system CSX information relating to timestamp and inf…
