    摘要: The present invention discloses a system and method for isolating failures in a locomotive. In the present invention, the cause of failures occurring in the locomotive sub-systems are determined quickly and efficiently, while minimizing the need for human interaction. However, the present invention can incorporate information provided by an operator to produce a more refined diagnosis. In the present invention, incidents are recorded in an incident log and mapped to indicators, which are sent to a fault isolator for diagnosis. The fault isolator uses a diagnostic knowledge base having diagnostic information between failures occurring in locomotive and observable symptoms happening therein. A diagnostic engine then processes the mapped indicators with the diagnostic information in the diagnostic knowledge base and produces a list of the most likely causes for any failures. The present invention then provides a course of action to correct the failures. The present invention can also be used to automatically isolate and diagnose failures occurring in process having a plurality of equipment.

    摘要: A method and system for intelligently directing output boost capabilities of wind turbine generators operating together in a wind plant has been provided. Selected ones of the wind turbine generators have their own individual boost modes of operation that can provide a limited time increase in power output. This boost capability of the selected individual generators is conveyed to the wind plant control upon request and is used to direct individual boot operations of the generators. In some embodiments, weather forecast information including wind forecast information is used to calculate the generators present and future forecasted boost capabilities.

    摘要: A method of operating a wind farm that includes a plurality of wind turbine generators (WTGs) includes generating wind turbine generator (WTG) availability data for each WTG. The method also includes generating wide-area meteorological data for a first geographical region. The method further includes generating narrow-area meteorological forecast data for a second geographical region by transmitting at least a portion of the wide-area meteorological data to at least one resident narrow-area meteorological forecast algorithm. The first geographical region includes at least a portion of the second geographical region. The method also includes generating electric power production forecast data by using at least one resident electric power production forecast algorithm to manipulate the WTG availability data and the narrow-area meteorological forecast data.
