1. A wind turbine, comprising:

  • a remote sensing apparatus for sensing a wind parameter at a location remote from the wind turbine,a processor for processing the sensed wind parameter and outputting an override signal if the processing indicates that the wind parameter will exceed a predetermined value when it arrives at the wind turbine, anda controller for controlling the output power of the wind turbine, the controller being configured to command the turbine, in response to sensed parameters, to overrate the turbine by operating the turbine at an output power greater that the rated power of the turbine, wherein the controller is further configured to receive the override signal from the processor and, on receipt of the override signal, to prevent or reduce overrating of the turbine.
