  • Publication number: 20240271600
    Abstract: A computer system optimizes site planning for turbines at a wind farm site, by obtaining land-based characteristics of the wind farm site, wind-based characteristics of the wind farm site, including a distribution of wind velocity and wind direction across the wind farm site over time; a number of turbines to be added; and characteristics for each of the turbines. For each turbine, the system simulates a plurality of wakes at a plurality of locations based on the wind-based characteristics and the turbine-based characteristics; determines power outputs based on the simulated wakes and aforementioned characteristics, determines successive locations of the turbine locations according by applying a gradient descent to the power outputs. The system aggregates the maximum power outputs of each turbine and displays an optimized location and final yaw angle corresponding to each turbine.

  • Publication number: 20240229769
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for applying optimized yaw settings to wind turbines including receiving operating data from at least one wind turbine on a wind farm and sending the data to a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system on the at least one wind turbine to generate current SCADA data. The current SCADA data is sent a central processing center away from the wind farm. The central processing center includes an optimization system that can generate a new look up table (LUT) including at least one new wind turbine yaw setting calculated using information comprising wind direction, wind velocity, wind turbine location in the wind farm, information from a historic SCADA database, and yaw optimizing algorithms. The new LUT is then sent to a yaw setting selection engine (YSSE) where instructions regarding the use of the new LUT are generated.
