Abstract

An output control device for a wind farm which includes n number of wind turbines includes a WTG output obtaining unit for obtaining a current output Pi of each of the wind turbines; an extractable output calculation unit for calculating an extractable output Pmaxi for each of the wind turbines; a potential output calculation unit for calculating a potential output Ppoti of each of the wind turbines based on a difference between the extractable output Pmaxi and the current output Pi of each of the wind turbines; and a WTG output determination unit for determining an output command value of each of the wind turbines so that a total output PWF of the wind farm becomes closer to an output target value PWF*. The WTG output determination unit assigns an output increase amount to each of the wind turbines and to determine the output command value.
