Abstract: Systems and methods for planning a wind farm are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for planning a wind farm. The method includes determining, by one or more processors, a load for a plurality of wind conditions for a plurality of circumferential sections for a tower of a wind turbine. The method includes accessing, by the one or more processors, a model that predicts wind conditions over a time period. The method includes determining, by the one or more processors, a load sustainment parameter for the plurality of circumferential sections for the predicted wind conditions over the time period.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for micrositing a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines. The method includes (a) determining, via a loads optimization function, one or more wind directions with or without turbine shadow for each of the wind turbines in the wind farm, (b) determining, via the loads optimization function, at least one additional wind parameter for each of the wind directions, (c) calculating, via simulation, loads for each of the wind turbines in the wind farm based on the identified wind directions with or without turbine shadow for each of the wind turbines in the wind farm and the at least one additional wind parameter for each of the wind directions, and (d) determining a site layout for the wind farm based on the calculated loads.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for providing a resolution to a ticket in an lean information technology framework. In one implementation the method comprises configuring a activity complexity database based on a plurality of low complexity activities identified across industry segments and technology tracks in an information technology framework. Further, receiving a ticket for resolution from a customer in the information technology framework, wherein the ticket comprises an issue, an error and a problem. Furthermore, classifying ticket as a low complexity activity or a non-low complexity activity based on a comparison of the ticket with the plurality of low complexity activities stored in the activity complexity database. Subsequently, assigning the ticket classified as the low complexity activity to a low complexity ticket team for providing a resolution to the ticket in the information technology framework, wherein the low complexity ticket team is one of a cross functional and cross technology team.

Abstract: A wind turbine includes a generator and a control system. The control system is configured to determine whether a predefined amount of turbulence will be induced to the wind turbine by a wake zone created by a wind turbine upstream thereof. The control system is also configured to adjust at least one constraint of the wind turbine to a first setting if the amount of turbulence is greater than the predefined amount, the constraint affecting power produced by the generator, and to adjust the constraint of the wind turbine to a second setting if the amount of turbulence is not greater than the predefined amount.
