Abstract
A method for controlling a cluster of wind turbines connected to a utility grid includes the steps of determining the frequency of the utility grid, detecting a frequency deviation in the utility grid, and disconnecting the wind turbines at different predefined frequency values above the nominal frequency value. The invention also relates to a method for planning the strategy of a utility grid including a wind turbine cluster connected to the grid and a wind turbine cluster.
