    Abstract: A method for refurbishing a wind turbine includes terminating use of an existing uptower electrical system of the wind turbine. The method also includes installing a new uptower electrical system for the wind turbine at an uptower location of the wind turbine. Further, the method includes providing an electrical adaptor at an uptower location for connecting the new uptower electrical system with an existing downtower electrical system. Moreover, the method includes electrically connecting the electrical adaptor between the existing downtower electrical system and the new uptower electrical system.

    Abstract: A system for controlling a wind turbine may include at least one sensor configured to provide at least one of a wind speed signal or a wind direction signal and a turbine controller configured to control the operation of the wind turbine. The system may also include a secondary controller inserted between the sensor(s) and the turbine controller. The secondary controller may be separated from the turbine controller by a distance and may be configured to receive the wind speed signal and/or the wind direction signal from the sensor(s) over a communication interface. In addition, the secondary controller may be configured to adjust the wind speed signal and/or wind direction signal based at least in part on a signal bias value(s) to an adjusted signal(s) and to provide the adjusted signal(s) to the turbine controller.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a wind turbine based on sensor readings are provided. A signal path between a sensor and a turbine controller can be modified and a secondary controller can be inserted between the turbine controller and the sensor. The secondary controller can receive a signal from the sensor and adjust the signal to an adjusted signal. The adjusted signal can be communicated to the turbine controller which can control operation of the wind turbine based at least in part on the adjusted signal. In this way, the operation of the wind turbine based on various sensor readings can be adjusted to provide for increased energy production without requiring access to computer-readable instructions, such as source code, implemented by the wind turbine controller.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the pitch angle of rotor blades in a wind turbine are provided. A signal path between a turbine controller and a pitch of a wind turbine can be broken r modified and a secondary controller can be inserted between the turbine controller and the pitch system. The secondary controller can receive a pitch angle setpoint from the turbine controller and adjust the pitch angle setpoint to an adjusted pitch angle setpoint. The adjusted pitch angle setpoint can be communicated to the pitch system. In this way, the pitch angle setpoints for the wind turbine can be adjusted to provide for increased energy production without requiring access to computer-readable instructions, such as source code, implemented by the wind turbine controller.
