  • Power generation system including predictive control apparatus to reduce influences of weather-varying factors
    Patent number: 8624411
    Abstract: A power generation system (10) for generating electrical power, which may vary in response to one or more weather-varying factors (11). The system may include an array of power generators (12) subject to the weather-varying factor. A module (18) may be configured to predict over a time horizon at least one power-generating condition for the array of power generators. A controller (24) may be configured to anticipatorily adjust a control strategy regarding operation of a component and/or subsystem of the power generation system based on the predicted power-generating condition for the array of power generators over the time horizon.
    Type: Grant
