Abstract
In one aspect, a method of selecting wind turbine generators in a wind park for curtailment of output power to provide a wind reserve comprises providing a wind park comprised of a plurality n of wind turbines each having an individual possible power output and the wind park has a combined possible power output of X, where X comprises a summation of the individual possible power output of the n wind turbines; setting a power setpoint Y for the wind park, wherein Y≦X and X−Y comprises a wind reserve; selecting, on a non-spatial basis, n−1 or fewer wind turbines from the wind park for power output curtailment; and curtailing power output of one or more of the selected n−1 or fewer wind turbines such that a total power output of the wind park comprises Y.
