The present invention relates to a method and control system comprising at least one cable temperature sensor for measuring cable temperature values for at least one power collection cable (50, 55) connected to a wind turbine (20) and a controller (110) arranged to generate and output an overrating control signal to the wind turbine (20). The output overrating control signal sets an amount by which the power output of the wind turbine (20) is to be overrated. It is determined whether the measured cable temperature values exceed a temperature set point and modifying the overrating control signal to reduce the amount of overrating if the temperature set point is exceeded.
A method of controlling a wind turbine, the method comprising:
A method of controlling a plurality of wind turbines connected to a common node from which power generated by the plurality of wind turbines is exported by at least one power collection cable, the method comprising:
A wind turbine control system comprising:
