Abstract

The invention relates to a system of at least two distributed wind turbines where the at least two wind turbines communicate via a data communication network, the data communication network communicates monitoring and control data (MCD) to and from the at least two wind turbines (WT), the data communication network communicates power control related data (PCRD) to and from the at least two wind turbines (WT), the power control related data (PCRD) has higher transmission priority than a subset of the monitoring and control data (MCD) and where the transmission priority is defined in relation to a protocol.
