Abstract
A method for operating a first wind turbine and a second wind turbine, the second wind turbine being located in the wake of the first wind turbine. A prediction model is fed with a current wind value of the first wind turbine, in order to predict a future time point at which the area swept by the rotor of the second wind turbine becomes partially overlapped by the wake of the first wind turbine. The second wind turbine reacts to the prediction in that a control signal is generated in order to alter the pitch angle of a rotor blade of the second wind turbine relative to the pitch angle of another rotor blade of the second wind turbine. The invention additionally relates to a control system suitable for executing the method. Implementation of the disclosed method by a control system can reduce the loading of the second wind turbine.
