Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides a method of operating an energy extraction device such as a wind turbine comprising a hydraulic pump driven by and applying torque to a rotating shaft, a hydraulic motor driving a load, a high pressure manifold in fluid communication with an outlet of the hydraulic pump and an inlet of the hydraulic motor and being selectively placed in fluid communication with a fluid accumulator, at least one low pressure manifold in fluid communication with an outlet of the hydraulic motor and an inlet of the hydraulic pump, at least one of the hydraulic pump or hydraulic motor is a digital hydraulic machine, characterised by interrupting fluid communication between the fluid accumulator and the high pressure manifold responsive to detection of a fault event.
