The method includes the steps of: a) providing a data driven model trained with a machine learning method and stored in a database, b) determining a decision parameter for controlling at least one of the upstream turbine and the downstream turbine by feeding the data driven model with the current power production of the upstream turbine which returns a prediction value indicating whether the downstream turbine will be affected by wake, and/or the temporal evolvement of the current power production of the upstream turbine; c) based on the decision parameter, determining control parameters for the upstream turbine and/or the downstream turbine.

Abstract: A machine learning module is provided which is trained to generate from a design data record specifying a design variant of a product, a first performance signal quantifying a predictive performance of the design variant and a predictive uncertainty of the predictive performance. A variety of design data records each specifying a design variant of the product is generated. For a respective design data record, the following steps are performed: a first performance signal and a corresponding predictive uncertainty are generated, depending on the predictive uncertainty, a simulation yielding a second performance signal quantifying a simulated performance of the corresponding design variant is either run or skipped, and a performance value is derived from the second performance signal if the simulation is run or, otherwise, from the first performance signal. Depending on the derived performance values, a performance-optimizing design data record is determined and output to control the production plant.
