Systems and methods for operating a wind farm are disclosed. The method includes detecting an operating condition of an upwind wind generator, the upwind wind generator located upstream of a downwind wind generator relative to a wind flow direction. The method further includes communicating a control signal to the downwind wind generator. The control signal is based on the operating condition. The method further includes beginning to adjust the downwind wind generator according to the control signal before the wind flow is experienced by the downwind wind generator.

1. A method for operating a wind farm, the method comprising: detecting a corrective action taken by an upwind wind generator, the upwind wind generator located upstream of a downwind wind generator relative to a wind flow direction, the corrective action comprising an adjustment to a characteristic of the upwind wind generator;communicating a control signal to the downwind wind generator, the control signal based on the corrective action; and,beginning to adjust the downwind wind generator according to the control signal before the wind flow is experienced by the downwind wind generator,wherein the corrective action is one of a pitch adjustment, a pitch rate adjustment, a yaw adjustment, a yaw rate adjustment, or a generator torque adjustment. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the wind generator comprises a wind turbine and a generator, and wherein the adjusting step comprises adjusting one of wind turbine pitch or wind turbine yaw. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: communicating the corrective action to a control system; and,producing from the control system a control signal based on the corrective action. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the control system is a supervisory control and data acquisition system. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining whether the corrective action exceeds a predetermined limit, and wherein the beginning to adjust step occurs only if the corrective action exceeds the predetermined limit. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising detecting a plurality of corrective actions taken by the upwind wind generator. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the upwind wind generator is a plurality of upwind wind generators. 8. A method for operating a wind farm, the method comprising: detecting a corrective action taken by each of a plurality of upwind wind generators, each of the plurality of upwind wind generators located upstream of a downwind wind generator relative to a wind flow direction, each corrective action comprising an adjustment to a characteristic of one of the plurality of upwind wind generators;communicating a control signal to the downwind wind generator, the control signal based on the corrective actions;determining whether at least one of the plurality of corrective actions exceed a predetermined limit, andif at least one of the plurality of corrective actions exceed the predetermined limit, beginning to adjust the downwind wind generators according to the control signal before the wind flow is experienced by the downwind wind generator,wherein the corrective action is one of a pitch adjustment, a pitch rate adjustment, a yaw adjustment, a yaw rate adjustment, or a generator torque adjustment. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the downwind wind generator comprises a wind turbine and a generator, and wherein the adjusting step comprises adjusting one of wind. turbine pitch or wind turbine yaw. 10. The method of claim 8, further comprising: communicating the corrective actions to a control system; and,producing from the control system a control signal based on the corrective actions. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the control system is a supervisory control and data acquisition system. 12. The method of claim 8, further comprising detecting a plurality of corrective actions taken by each of the plurality of upwind wind generators. 13. A system for operating a wind farm, the system comprising: a downwind wind generator;an upwind wind generator located upstream of a downwind wind generator relative to a wind flow direction; anda control system in communication with the upwind wind generator and the downwind wind generator, the control system configured to produce a control signal based on a corrective action taken by the upwind wind generator and communicate the control signal to the downwind wind generator, the corrective action comprising an adjustment to a characteristic of the upwind wind generator,wherein the downwind wind generator is adjustable according to the control signal before the wind flow is experienced by the downwind wind generator, andwherein the corrective action is one of a pitch adjustment, a pitch rate adjustment, a yaw adjustment, a yaw rate adjustment, or a generator torque adjustment. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the downwind wind generator comprises a wind turbine and a generator, and wherein one of wind turbine pitch and wind turbine yaw is adjustable. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the control system is a supervisory control and data acquisition system. 16. The system of claim 13, further comprising a plurality of upwind wind generators. 17. The system of claim 13, wherein the control system is in communication with the upstream wind generator and the downstream wind generator through one of wire, fiber optical, or radio communication.
