  • Patent number: 11460003
    Abstract: A system for monitoring a plurality of wind turbines can include a turbine categorizer, executing on one or more computing platforms that categorizes each of a plurality of wind turbines as being damaged or undamaged to form a list of potentially damaged wind turbines. The system can also include a damage evaluator executing on the one or more computing platforms that predicts a damage type and a stage for each wind turbine in the list of potentially damaged wind turbines. The system can further include an impact engine executing on the one or more computing platforms that assigns a repair window and a priority for each wind turbine in the list of potentially damaged wind turbines based on a respective predicted damage type and stage.

  • Patent number: 11428212
    Abstract: Systems and methods to monitor a wind turbine azimuth drivetrain. Azimuth variation characteristics data are accumulated from wind turbines over a period of time. Clusters of values within the azimuth variation characteristics data are identified and a respective condition of the main drivetrain is associated with different clusters of values. After the associating, a measured set of azimuth variation characteristics data is received. A cluster corresponds to values in the measured set of azimuth variation characteristics data is determined and a condition associated with that cluster is determined to be a condition associated with the subject main drivetrain. That condition is then reported.

  • Patent number: 10416169
    Abstract: A protein assay method, including: 1) dissolving 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid in an ethanol, methanol, or acetonitrile aqueous solution to prepare a hydrolysis reagent, adding a protein sample and the hydrolysis reagent to a hydrolysis tube, and uniformly mixing the protein sample and the hydrolysis reagent, charging argon or nitrogen into the hydrolysis tube to remove dissolved oxygen, sealing and drying the hydrolysis tube, and hydrolyzing the protein sample; 2) cooling the hydrolysis tube to room temperature, filtering and adding a resulting hydrolysate to a volumetric flask, washing the hydrolysis tube and a filter paper, collecting and adding a resulting washing solution to the volumetric flask to a constant volume; 3) drawing a hydrolysate solution from the volumetric flask, completely drying the hydrolysate solution to yield a solid product; and 4) diluting the solid product using a diluent, and analyzing amino acids of the solid product.
