Abstract: The present disclosure relates to controlling an operation of a wind turbine. A first plurality of extreme load measures indicative of extreme loads experienced by at least part of the wind turbine during the first period of time are determined and a load probability characteristic is then determined based on a statistical analysis of the distribution of the first plurality of extreme load measures. A control strategy for controlling the operation of the wind turbine is then modified based at least in part on a comparison of the load probability characteristic and a design load limit and the wind turbine is then subsequently controlled in accordance with the modified control strategy for a second period of time.

Abstract: The present invention is a wind farm control method, wherein a reinforcement learning method (RL) is implemented in a decentralized manner (for each wind turbine). The reward (REC) is calculated according to a wake propagation delay (DEL). Thus, the reward is truly representative of the effect of the last action (previous yaw control for example).

Abstract: Examples relate to a method for generating an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) controller model for controlling an UAV, a system including an UAV, a wind generator, a motion-tracking system and a control module, and to an UAV. The method for training the UAV controller model includes providing a wind generator control signal to a wind generator, to cause the wind generator to emit a wind current towards the UAV. The method includes operating the UAV using the UAV controller model. A flight of the UAV is influenced by the wind generated by the wind generator. The method includes monitoring the flight of the UAV using a motion-tracking system to determine motion-tracking data. The method includes training the UAV controller model using a machine-learning algorithm based on the motion-tracking data.

Abstract: A method of transitioning a wind turbine from a sleep state is provided in which a wind speed at the wind turbine is measured, and the measured wind speed is compared to a wake-up threshold. If the wind speed exceeds the wake-up threshold, the wind turbine is transitioned to an active state. Before comparing, either the measured wind speed or the wake-up threshold is adjusted based on an outcome of at least one previous transition from the sleep state of the wind turbine.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of operating a wind turbine with an operational parameter where values of the operational parameter are obtained by different sensors and compared to determine the validity of the value. A first value and a second value of the operational parameter are obtained different sensors and validated by comparing the two values. The wind turbine being operated using a validated value as the operational parameter. The two sensors are selected among a trained machine learning model, a reference sensor and a computerized physical model.

Abstract: There is provided methods and systems for controlling a multi-rotor wind turbine generator having at least two rotor nacelle assemblies mounted to a support arrangement by a common yaw control system and each having a wind direction sensor mounted thereto configured to measure a wind direction relative to forward direction of its rotor nacelle assembly. The methods comprise the steps of measuring, for each rotor nacelle assembly, wind power parameter data over a plurality of relative wind directions, determining, based on the measured data, an optimum relative wind direction, either based on the average of two directions at which the parameter is maximum or on a combined data set, and controlling the yaw system accordingly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating a direction of wind incident on a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a tower; a rotor-nacelle-assembly (RNA) carried by the tower; a deflection sensor configured to sense a position of the RNA or a deflection of the tower; and a wind direction sensor. One approach includes: obtaining deflection training data from the deflection sensor; obtaining wind direction training data from the wind direction sensor; training a machine learning model on the basis of the deflection training data and the wind direction training data in order to obtain a trained machine learning model; obtaining further deflection data from the deflection sensor; inputting the further deflection data into the trained machine learning model; and operating the machine learning model to output a wind direction estimate on the basis of the further deflection data.

Abstract: A method for providing backup control for a supervisory controller of at least one wind turbine includes observing, via a learning-based backup controller of the at least one wind turbine, at least one operating parameter of the supervisory controller under normal operation. The method also includes learning, via the learning-based backup controller, one or more control actions of the at least one wind turbine based on the operating parameter(s). Further, the method includes receiving, via the learning-based backup controller, an indication that the supervisory controller is unavailable to continue the normal operation. Upon receipt of the indication, the method includes controlling, via the learning-based backup controller, the wind turbine(s) using the learned one or more control actions until the supervisory controller becomes available again. Moreover, the control action(s) defines a delta that one or more setpoints of the wind turbine(s) should be adjusted by to achieve a desired outcome.

Abstract: An optimal dispatching method and system for a wind power generation and energy storage combined system are provided. Uncertainty of a wind turbine output is characterized based on spatio-temporal coupling of the wind turbine output and an interval uncertainty set. Compared with a traditional symmetric interval uncertainty set, the uncertainty set that considers spatio-temporal effects effectively excludes some extreme scenarios with a very small probability of occurrence and reduces conservativeness of a model. A two-stage robust optimal dispatching model for the wind power generation and energy storage combined system is constructed, and a linearization technology and a nested column-and-constraint generation (C&CG) strategy are used to efficiently solve the model.
