First Claim
1. A method for transmitting data records of a plurality of wind turbines or windfarms to a control center, comprising:
- dispatching a notification of an updated data record from a wind turbine or windfarm of the plurality of wind turbines or windfarms to the control center,determining, at the control center, whether the updated data record is to be requested, determining whether the updated data record is to be requested includes determining whether a particular time interval assigned to the wind turbine or windfarm has elapsed since a last dispatch of a request or a reception of a last reply including a last data record,if the time interval has not yet elapsed, ignoring the notification of the updated data record, andif the time interval has elapsed;
dispatching, from the control center, a request for the updated data record of the wind turbine or windfarm,receiving the request for the updated data record by the wind turbine or windfarm, anddispatching a reply with the updated data record from the wind turbine or windfarm to the control center.

Abstract
A method for transmitting data records of a plurality of wind turbines or and a plurality of windfarms to a control center as well as a wind turbine, control center and a system configured to perform the method are disclosed. The method includes dispatching a notification of an updated data record from one of the wind turbines or windfarms to the control center. A decision is then made in the control center as to whether the updated data record is to be requested. A request for the updated data record is dispatched from the control center to the wind turbine or windfarm only if the updated data record is to be requested. The request is received in the windfarm or wind turbine and a reply with the updated data record reply is sent to the control center.
