Abstract: A system and method are provided for operating a power generating asset. Accordingly, at least one external data set indicative of a plurality of variables affecting the performance of the power generating asset is received by the controller. The controller also receives at least one operational data set indicative of the performance of the power generating asset. A plurality of production-assessment models for the power generating asset are generated and trained based on the data sets. A performance prediction is then generated for each of a plurality of model-variable combinations and a control action is implemented based on one of the performance predictions.

Abstract: A thermal management system and wind turbine are provided comprising a gearbox containing a lubrication medium and a pump for circulating the lubrication medium. A gearbox lubrication suction pipe is used for transporting the lubrication medium from the gearbox to the pump. At least one pump outlet pipe can be used for transporting the lubrication medium from the pump to other components of the wind turbine. A thermal wrap is in thermal connection to, at least a portion of, at least one of, the gearbox, pump, gearbox lubrication suction pipe and pump outlet pipe. The thermal wrap is used to heat or cool, at least a portion of, the lubrication medium.
