  • Patent number: 11598314
    Abstract: A system for generating power includes an environmental engine operating on one or more computing devices that determines a wind flowing over a blade of a wind turbine, wherein the wind flowing over the blade of the wind turbine varies based on environmental conditions and operating parameters of the wind turbine. The system also includes an artificial intelligence (AI) ensemble engine operating on the one or more computing devices that generates a plurality of different models for the wind turbine. Each model characterizes a relationship between at least two of a rotor speed, a blade pitch, the wind flowing over the blade, a wind speed and a turbulence intensity for the wind turbine. The AI ensemble engine selects a model with a highest efficiency metric, and simulates execution of the selected model to determine recommended operating parameters.

  • Publication number: 20210381489
    Abstract: A system for generating power includes an environmental engine that determines performance metrics for a plurality of wind turbines deployed at a plurality of windfarms, such that each windfarm includes a corresponding subset of the plurality of windfarms. The performance metrics for a given wind turbine of the plurality of wind turbines characterizes wind flowing over blades of the given wind turbine. The system includes an artificial intelligence (AI) ensemble engine operating on the one or more computing devices that generates a set of models for each wind turbine of the plurality of wind turbines, wherein each model of each set of models is generated with a different machine learning algorithm and selects, for each respective set of models, a model with a highest efficiency metric. The AI engine provides edge computing systems operating at the plurality of windfarms with a selected model and corresponding recommended operating parameters.

  • Patent number: 11015576
    Abstract: A system for generating power includes an environmental engine operating on one or more computing devices that determines a Reynolds number for a wind turbine, wherein the Reynolds number characterizes wind flowing over a blade of the wind turbine that varies based on the wind speed, a rotor speed and characteristics of the blade of the wind turbine. The system also includes an artificial intelligence (AI) ensemble engine operating on the one or more computing devices that generates a plurality of different models for the wind turbine. Each model characterizes a relationship between the rotor speed and a blade pitch for the wind turbine, the Reynolds number, wind speed and turbulence intensity for the wind turbine. The AI ensemble engine selects a model with a highest efficiency metric; and simulates execution of the selected model to determine recommended operating parameters.
