Claim 0:
1. A method for operating a cluster of wind turbines, the cluster of wind turbines comprising a plurality of wind turbines, the method comprising steps of:
each wind turbine of the cluster of wind turbines respectively obtaining one or more measurements related to operation thereof,
for each wind turbine of the cluster of wind turbines, deriving one or more parameter values of a parameter being indicative for a condition occurring at a given wind turbine of the cluster of wind turbines, based on the one or more measurements,
comparing the derived one or more parameter values for each wind turbine of the cluster of wind turbines to a trigger value for triggering measures for mitigating an effect of the condition, based on the parameter, and
in a case that one of the derived one or more parameter values for a specific wind turbine of the cluster of wind turbines exceeds the trigger value, initiating the measures for mitigating the effect of the condition at the specific wind turbine,, wherein the method further comprises steps of:
comparing the derived one or more parameter values for each wind turbine of the cluster of wind turbines to an expected distribution, the expected distribution defining a mean value and a deviation, and
in a case that a distribution of the derived one or more parameter values differs from the expected distribution, adjusting the trigger value and subsequently applying the adjusted trigger value when comparing the derived one or more parameter values to the trigger value.
