Scheduled Turbine Control / Shutdown Feature
For bird regulations it´s more and more necessary to shutdown turbines for certain days and periods over a week. Especially for issues with cranes or red kites we would like to have a "scheduled control feature" or "scheduled shutdown calendar" in which you can set times and turbines for being ramped down & up in advance (e.g. monday morning for the whole week).The actual "turbine shutdown feature" only allow instantaneous ramp down & up of a wind turbine but no advanced scheduled programming. An instantaneous shutdown feature doesn´t give us the efficiency and flexibility to handle a big portfolio with many shutdown requests. Of course, the scheduled programming should always allow quick adjustments of shutdown times during the day.
We would need that feature for all common OEMs, but firstly for Nordex and GE.
This is a great request, but we cannot commit on any future development in this area, at least not right now. But stay tuned!
