    Abstract: A method for controlling operation of a wind turbine includes collecting training data, training a machine learning model, obtaining recent data, and applying the machine learning model the recent data to output a reference power or reference power differential corresponding to the recent data. The machine learning model is then applied to the recent data to output at least one of estimated power or estimated power differential corresponding to values of the pitch setpoints and the tip speed ratio setpoints which differ from the recent data. A turbine setting is determined by comparing the estimated power or estimated power differential to the reference power or reference power differential, and then applying the turbine setting to the wind turbine if the estimated power or estimated power differential is greater than or equal to a threshold amount above the reference power or reference power differential.

    Abstract: A method of operating a wind turbine and a method of determining fatigue in a wind turbine component are provided. The method of operating a wind turbine comprises determining a reference accumulated fatigue, determining an operational time, obtaining a partial load indicator, determining a real accumulated fatigue, comparing the real accumulated fatigue and the reference accumulated fatigue and controlling the operation of the wind turbine. The method of determining fatigue in a wind turbine component comprises determining an operational time, obtaining wind speed, obtaining turbulence intensity, determining a time for each combination of wind speed and turbulence intensity and determining a real accumulated fatigue. In a further aspect, this is also provided a wind turbine controller configured to perform any of the methods herein disclosed.

    Abstract: A wind turbine includes a hub configured to rotate about an axis at a first rotation speed and at least one blade coupled to the hub. The wind turbine also includes a sensor assembly configured to detect at least one characteristic of wind flowing through the wind turbine. The sensor assembly is mounted to the hub. The sensor assembly includes a laser device configured to emit a laser beam and at least one optical element configured to direct the laser beam. The sensor assembly also includes a non-motorized mechanism configured to rotate the at least one optical element at a second rotation speed when the hub rotates at the first rotation speed. The second rotation speed is greater than the first rotation speed.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine includes receiving signals representative of oncoming wind speeds approaching at least a portion of a wind turbine, receiving background noise and signals representative of signal-to-noise ratios corresponding to the signals representative of the oncoming wind speeds, determining an availability-and-atmospheric noise in the signals based on one or more of the signal-to-noise ratios, blade positions of blades of the wind turbine, and the yaw position of a nacelle of the wind turbine, determining a wind incoherence noise in the signals due to a change in the oncoming wind speeds while approaching at least the portion of the wind turbine, determining a net measurement noise in the signals based on the background noise, the availability-and-atmospheric noise, and the wind incoherence noise, and controlling the wind turbine based at least on the signals representative of the oncoming wind speeds and the net measurement noise.
