Publication number: 20230089046Abstract: A method for controlling wind turbines. Incident signal data is obtained from wind turbines and fed to an artificial intelligence (AI) model in order to identify patterns in the incident signals generated by the wind turbines. One or more actions are associated to the identified patterns, based on identified actions performed by the wind turbines in response to the generated incident signals. During operation of the wind turbines, one or more incident signals from one or more wind turbines are detected and compared to patterns identified by the AI model. In the case that the detected incident signal(s) match(es) at least one of the identified patterns, the wind turbine(s) are controlled by performing the action(s) associated with the matching pattern(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Morten Tim Thorsen, Roberto Ugo Di Cera Colazingari, Casper Hillerup Lyhne

Patent number: 11002458Abstract: A method carries out an outside temperature-dependent control of at least one thermal power indicative parameter of a supply temperature of a first heating or cooling system in a first building (H). The control is carried out on the basis of the at least one thermal power indicative parameter. The at least one thermal power indicative parameter is indicative of the heat consumption or of the cooling power of at least one second heating or cooling system of a second building (H?, H?, H??), located at a distance from the first building, and is received via a data network (1), in particular, via the Internet. An arrangement is provided for controlling a first heating or cooling system of a first building, wherein the arrangement is adapted to carry out the method mentioned above. A server is further provided that is adapted to receive at least one thermal power indicative parameter.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: GRUNDFOS HOLDING A/SInventors: Casper Hillerup Lyhne, Peter Elvekjær

Patent number: 10794384Abstract: A multi-pump control system includes a control module, a processing module, a communication interface, and a storage module. The control module runs n different subsets of i pumps of a multi-pump system including N pumps during n different configuration cycles at a speed ?j, wherein N?2, 2?n?2N?1 and 1?i?N.

Patent number: 10527294Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling a pump for feeding fluid (F) into a heating system (1000). The heating system has a hot fluid tank (HFT) receiving fluid from an associated fluid reservoir line (5) with an incoming fluid mass flow rate (dmcw/dt). A pump (P) receives fluid from the line, and pumps the received fluid with a mass flow rate (dmc/dt). A heat exchanging unit (HX) transfers heat (Q) to the fluid (F) from a medium (R). The transferred heat (Q) is maximized by controlling the pump (P1) in response to this information indicative of the transferred heat (Q), the fluid mass flow rate delivered by the pump thereby having a minimum as a function of the incoming fluid mass flow rate (dmcw/dt) when maximizing the transferred heat. The invention provides significantly improved heat transfer to the fluid and power savings for the pump. The invention also relates to a heating system, e.g. a heat pump system.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2013Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Grundfos Holding A/SInventor: Casper Hillerup Lyhne
