Abstract
A method to determine a dry-out period of a converter of a wind turbine is provided. A time dependent chronology of data is measured in the converter. The measured data-chronology reflects the actual humidity and the humidity-history in the converter cabinet. The measured data-chronology is used to determine a dry-out period of time, which is needed to reduce the humidity inside the converter below a given value by circulating heat inside the converter.
