  • Patent number: 11365715
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for estimating systematic yaw misalignment of a wind turbine. The method comprising the steps of: receiving yaw data from the wind turbine indicative of the degrees of rotation of the nacelle for a plurality of yaw operations; receiving performance data from the wind turbine indicative of the alignment of the nacelle of the wind turbine with the wind direction before and after each of the plurality of yaw operations. The yaw data and the performance data being recorded during normal operation of the wind turbine, and the yaw data and the performance data is processed together to estimate the systemic yaw misalignment of the wind turbine.

  • Patent number: 10471328
    Abstract: A system for coordinating radar data and image data to track a flight of a projectile includes a radar, an imager, and a controller. The imager provides an image of an area into which a projectile is to be launched. The controller receives the image and an identification of a target within the image and identifies a target line connecting the target and a launch position of the projectile. The controller also receives data from the radar relative to at least a portion of a trajectory of the projectile, generates image based trajectory data by correlating the radar data and the image, and alters the image to include the image based trajectory data within the image and the target line within the image.

  • Publication number: 20160048975
    Abstract: An assembly comprising a radar and a camera for both deriving data relating to a golf ball and a golf club at launch, radar data relating to the ball and club being illustrated in an image provided by the camera. The data illustrated may be trajectories of the ball/club/club head, directions and/or angles, such as an angle of a face of the golf club striking the ball, the lie angle of the club head or the like. An assembly of this type may also be used for defining an angle or direction in the image and rotating e.g. an image of the golfer to have the determined direction or angle coincide with a predetermined angle/direction in order to be able to compare different images.
