1. A wind farm comprising:
- a plurality of variable speed wind turbines; and
a centralized controller configured to selectively adjust a respective electrical output power from each of the wind turbines, wherein the controller includes a monitor configured to monitor a correlation between a deviation from a grid frequency and a wind power change, the controller configured to adjust a response of the electrical output power response for each of the wind turbines based on the monitored correlation, the electrical output power response configured to meet a grid frequency regulation notwithstanding of random occurrences of wind power changes.

Abstract
A wind farm (10) may include a plurality of variable speed wind turbines (12, 14, 16). A centralized controller (50) may be configured to selectively adjust a respective electrical output power from each of the wind turbines. The controller may include a monitor (52) configured to monitor a correlation between a deviation from a grid frequency and a wind power change. The controller may be configured to adjust a response of the electrical output power based on the monitored correlation. The electrical output power response may be configured to meet a grid frequency regulation notwithstanding of random occurrences of wind power changes.
