Publication number: 20230275978Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system to facilitate hierarchical data exchange may include an aggregation platform data store containing electronic records. A data aggregation platform may collect, from a plurality of data source devices, information associated with a plurality of data sources and store the collected information into the aggregation platform data store. The data aggregation platform may also receive a data request from a data consumer device, and, responsive to the received data request, determine a precision tier associated with the data request. The data aggregation platform may then automatically calculate a resource value for the data request based on the precision tier. It may then be arranged for information from the aggregation platform data store to be modified and transmitted to the data consumer device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Scott Charles Evans, Benjamin Edward Beckmann, John Willam Carbone

Patent number: 11649804Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling a wind turbine of a wind farm. Accordingly, a controller implements a first model to determine a modeled performance parameter for the first wind turbine. The modeled performance parameter is based, at least in part, on an operation of a designated grouping of wind turbines of the plurality of wind turbines, which is exclusive of the first wind turbine. The controller then determines a performance parameter differential for the first wind turbine at multiple sampling intervals. The performance parameter differential is indicative of a difference between the modeled performance parameter and a monitored performance parameter for the first wind turbine. A second model is implemented to determine a predicted performance parameter of the first wind turbine at each of a plurality of setpoint combinations based, at least in part, on the performance parameter differential the first wind turbine.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: General Electric Renovables Espana, S.L.Inventors: Samuel Bryan Shartzer, Scott Charles Evans, Arunvenkataraman Subramanian, Dhiraj Arora, Samuel Davoust

Publication number: 20230034766Abstract: A system and method are provided for operating a wind farm. Accordingly, a wind direction affecting the wind farm is determined. Based on the wind direction, a controller identifies a turbine cluster, which is a subset of a plurality of wind turbines of the wind farm. The subset includes at least an upwind turbine and a downwind turbine that is affected by a wake emanating from the upwind turbine. With the turbine cluster identified for the given wind direction, the controller then determines a difference between a freestream maximal cluster power output and a wake-affected cluster power output for the turbine cluster. The controller then determines a mitigation setpoint combination for the subset of wind turbines. The mitigation setpoint combination is configured to establish a mitigated cluster power output.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Scott Charles Evans, Samuel Bryan Shartzer, Tapan Ravin Shah, Srinivas Bollapragada, Arunvenkataraman Subramanian, Philip James Verzella, Stefan Kern, Samuel Davoust
