Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of a number of airborne wind energy systems arranged in a wind energy park, where each airborne wind energy system comprising a wind engaging member being coupled to a ground station via a cable. The method comprises the determination of an operational parameter of each of the airborne wind energy systems, such as the flight trajectory, the cable tension, or the power production. A first airborne wind energy system is controlled according to a fault control mode if its operational parameter deviates more than a predetermined threshold parameter from the operation parameters of the other airborne wind energy system. The method further comprises operating one or more neighbouring airborne wind energy systems according to a safe control mode.
