1. A method for controlling wind turbines of a first wind park, the method comprising:
obtaining incident signal data from a plurality of data providing wind turbines arranged in a plurality of wind parks besides the first wind park, wherein the incident signal data includes incident signals generated by the data providing wind turbines;
feeding the incident signal data to an artificial intelligence (AI) model and training the AI model by means of the incident signal data in order to identify patterns in the incident signals generated by the data providing wind turbines, wherein the patterns identified by the AI model include combinations of identical or similar incident signals generated by two or more data providing wind turbines located in a second wind park;
identifying one or more actions performed by the data providing wind turbines in response to the incident signals generated by the data providing wind turbines, and, based thereon, associating one or more actions to the identified patterns;
during operation of the wind turbines of the first wind park, detecting incident signals from one or more wind turbines of the first wind park;
comparing the incident signals from the one or more wind turbines of the first wind park to the patterns identified by the AI model; and
in response to determining the incident signals from the one or more wind turbines of the first wind park match at least one pattern of the patterns identified by the AI model, controlling the one or more wind turbines of the first wind park by performing the one or more actions associated with the at least one pattern.
