Publication number: 20220341393Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine includes detecting, via a controller, a plurality of analytic outputs of the wind turbine from a plurality of different analytics. The method also includes analyzing, via the controller, the plurality of analytic outputs of the wind turbine. Further, the method includes generating, via the controller, at least one computer-based model of the wind turbine using at least a portion of the analyzed plurality of analytic outputs. Moreover, the method includes training, via the controller, the at least one computer-based model of the wind turbine using annotated analytic outputs of the wind turbine. As such, the method includes checking the plurality of analytic outputs for anomalies using the at least one computer-based model. Accordingly, the method includes implementing a control action when at least one anomaly is detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2019Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Gerald Bowden Wise, Scott Charles Evans, Arunvenkataraman Subramanian, Kyle Raymond Barden, Frank William Ripple, Jr., John Edmund LaFleche, Tapan Shah
