A wind power plant comprising a plurality of wind turbines, the power plant further comprising:
- a power plant controller connected to at least a first and a second of the plurality of wind turbines;
- the power plant controller comprising means for detecting a shutdown of the first wind turbine in response to current wind conditions;
- the power plant controller further comprising means to control the second wind turbine such that an operating parameter of the second wind turbine is modified in response to a detection of a shutdown of the first wind turbine in response to current wind conditions.
A method of controlling a wind power plant comprising a plurality of wind turbines, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting a shutdown of a first wind turbine in response to current wind conditions;
- controlling a second wind turbine such that an operating parameter of the second wind turbine is modified in response to a detection of a shutdown of the first wind turbine in response to current wind conditions.
