Abstract: A method for optimizing performance of a wind farm having at least one wind turbine includes maneuvering a first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having at least one sensor to a first location near the at least one wind turbine of the wind farm; collecting, via the at least one sensor of the first UAV, data corresponding to one or more wind conditions at the at least one wind turbine; receiving the data corresponding to the one or more wind conditions at the at least one wind turbine via a controller; generating a control action for the at least one wind turbine using the data corresponding to the one or more wind condition at the at least one wind turbine; and implementing, via the controller, the control action.
