Remote wind turbine reset system and method

A system for resetting turbines comprising:

• a plurality of turbines;
• a remote alarm monitor system for issuing Modbus requests to control all or a subset of the plurality of turbines at once, the remote alarm monitor system including a computing device, the requests including at least one of a reset, start, or stop command issueable to one or several turbines;
• a plurality of PLCs corresponding to the plurality of turbines, each PLC configured to receive Modbus requests and process the requests in accordance with a type of turbine associated with that PLC;
• and
• a wind site SCADA system corresponding to the plurality of turbines, the SCADA system comprising an OPC server and a module for receiving Modbus turbine control requests processed by PLCs and translating these requests into OPC control requests;
• wherein said plurality of PLCs monitor the status of said plurality of turbines and provides status information to said remote alarm monitor system;
• and
• wherein said plurality of PLCs poll said wind site SCADA system associated with the plurality of turbines to determine status information.
