Abstract
A method for controlling a wind power plant including a plurality of wind turbines that provide output power through a transmission line arrangement, wherein each wind turbine in the wind power plant has a nominal power limit setting. The method comprises determining spare capacity on the transmission line arrangement; and configuring one or more of the wind turbines in dependence on the determined spare capacity, such that said wind turbines are operable to exceed their respective nominal power limit setting in order to exploit the spare capacity on the transmission line arrangement. Aspects of the invention also relate to a power plant controller configured to implement the method.
