OPERATING WIND TURBINES IN A MICROGRID

It is described a method of operating plural wind turbines (2a,2b,2c) connected to a local grid (4) but isolated from any power providing utility grid (5), the method comprising: monitoring (6a,6b,6c) the wind turbines (2a,2b,2c) regarding at least one temporary stop requirement; selecting one or more of the wind turbines (2a,2b,2c) based on a closeness to the respective temporary stop requirement, in particular the lower the closeness the more urgent the temporary stop; entering, by at least one selected wind turbine (2a,2b) or by at least one non-selected wind turbine, a non-idle state thereby suppling power to the local grid.
