Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for operating a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a wind rotor and a generator connected to the wind rotor, wherein the generator is adapted to be connected to a grid, wherein the method comprises: generating a signal for at least one of a run-up event or starting event of the wind turbine based on a predicted efficiency of at least one component of the wind turbine. Further, the present disclosure relates to a method for operating a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a wind rotor and a generator connected to the wind rotor, wherein the generator is adapted to be connected to a grid, wherein the method comprises: generating a signal for at least one of a run-up event or starting event of the wind turbine based on a predicted power output of the wind turbine that is based on at least one of a predicted electrical or mechanical power consumption of at least one component of the wind turbine. Finally, the present disclosure relates to a wind turbine comprising a wind rotor, wherein the wind rotor is mechanically connected to a generator for transmitting the rotational power of the wind rotor to the rotor of the generator, wherein the output current of the generator is adapted to be selectively connected to a grid by a circuit breaker, the wind turbine further comprising a control device adapted to close the circuit breaker, wherein the control device is adapted to generate a signal for at least one of a run-up event or starting event of the wind turbine based on a predicted efficiency of at least one component of the wind turbine.
