Systems and methods for planning a wind farm are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for planning a wind farm. The method includes determining, by one or more processors, a load for a plurality of wind conditions for a plurality of circumferential sections for a tower of a wind turbine. The method includes accessing, by the one or more processors, a model that predicts wind conditions over a time period. The method includes determining, by the one or more processors, a load sustainment parameter for the plurality of circumferential sections for the predicted wind conditions over the time period.

Wind turbine tower placement and orientation

A method for operating a wind turbine to avoid stall during derating thereof includes providing an initial pitch setting for one or more rotor blades of the wind turbine. Further, the method includes operating the wind turbine based on a rated power curve with the one or more rotor blades fixed at the initial pitch setting. Further, the method includes identifying at least one condition of the wind turbine that is indicative of stall. The method also includes derating the wind turbine. Further, the method includes modifying the initial pitch setting to an updated pitch setting when the at least one condition is identified.
