Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to validation processes in wind turbines, as well as controllers and wind turbines implementing the same. In one aspect, a method of validating smoke detection in a smoke detection system includes receiving an indication of smoke detection, determining a first temperature of a temperature sensor, and beginning a heat validation operation. The heat validation operation includes initiating a timer after determining the first temperature, and determining if a current temperature of the temperature sensor has increased a predefined amount relative to the first temperature. If the current temperature of the temperature sensor has increased a predefined amount relative to the first temperature, performing at least one of tripping a switchgear and activating an alarm.
