Classification: CPC F  Y | IPC F

Claim 10:
11. A detector system to determine shadow flicker at a location in a vicinity of a wind park comprising a plurality of wind turbines; wherein the detector system, comprises:
a remote detector configured to process data to generate flicker data representative of the shadow flicker at the location; and
a wind power plant control system communicatively coupled to the remote detector and configured to:
identify at least one target wind turbine of the plurality of wind turbines potentially causing a shadow at the location based on a position of the at least one target wind turbine and a position of the sun;
generate operational data of the at least one target wind turbine;
verify that the shadow flicker is generated by the at least one target wind turbine by comparing the flicker data and the operational data; and
pause operation of the at least one target wind turbine verified to cause the shadow flicker.
