Abstract
A method and system for intelligently directing output boost capabilities of wind turbine generators operating together in a wind plant has been provided. Selected ones of the wind turbine generators have their own individual boost modes of operation that can provide a limited time increase in power output. This boost capability of the selected individual generators is conveyed to the wind plant control upon request and is used to direct individual boot operations of the generators. In some embodiments, weather forecast information including wind forecast information is used to calculate the generators present and future forecasted boost capabilities.
