Abstract: A control method for increasing reactive power generation of a wind turbine having a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) includes obtaining, by a control device having one or more processors and one or more memory devices, wind forecast data of the wind turbine. Further, the method includes generating, by the control device, a real-time thermal model of the DFIG of the wind turbine using the wind forecast data. More specifically, the thermal model defines a thermal capacity for the DFIG that does not exceed system limits. Thus, the method also includes dynamically adjusting, by the control device, a reactive power set point of the DFIG of the wind turbine based on the real-time thermal model.

Abstract: In some embodiments, data is received defining a plurality of shot groups that will be delivered by a charged particle beam writer during an overall time period, where a first shot group will be delivered onto a first designated area at a first time period. A temperature of the first designated area at a different time period is determined.

In some embodiments, transient temperatures of a target designated area are determined at time periods when exposure from a shot group is received. An effective temperature of the target area is determined, using the transient temperatures and applying a compensation factor based on an amount of exposure received during that time period. A shot in the target shot group is modified based on the effective temperature.
