Common brake for a cluster of turbines

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform operations for coordinated braking of a plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines, the operations comprising:

• accessing memory storing information indicative of a tolerance threshold for at least one operating parameter associated with the plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines;
• receiving information from at least one sensor indicative of one of the at least one operating parameter for a particular fluid turbine among the plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines;
• comparing the information indicative of the at least one operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine with the tolerance threshold stored in memory;
• determining, based on the comparison, whether the at least one operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine deviates from the tolerance threshold;
• and
• upon a determination that the at least one operating parameter for the particular fluid turbine exceeds the tolerance threshold, sending a braking signal to each of the geographically-associated fluid turbines to slow each of the geographically-associated fluid turbines, wherein the braking signal is configured to synchronize each fluid turbine in the plurality of geographically-associated fluid turbines.
