  • Publication number: 20240141870
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method, performed by an electronic device, for control of operation of a wind turbine. The method comprises obtaining wind turbine data indicative of one or more alerting events of the wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine data comprises warning data indicative of a warning of the wind turbine, and/or alarm data indicative of an alarm state of the wind turbine. The method comprises obtaining sensor data from a plurality of sensors of the wind turbine indicative of operating conditions associated with the wind turbine. The method comprises predicting, based on the wind turbine data and the sensor data, an upcoming safety stop by applying a machine learning model to the wind turbine data and the sensor data. The method may comprise providing, based on the predicted upcoming safety stop, control data indicative of a controlled stop or a derating to be performed by the wind turbine.

  • Patent number: 11885306
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a wind turbine system, more particular for a method for determining shadow flicker at a location and identifying a wind turbine in a wind park with a plurality of wind turbines causing the shadow flicker. A remote detector located at or near the location is determining the presence of shadow flicker and generating flicker data representative of the shadow flicker. A target wind turbine potentially causing a shadow at the location is identified based on the turbine position and the position of the sun. Operational data from the target wind turbine is obtained and it is verified whether the target wind turbine generates the shadow flicker by comparing the flicker data and the operational data.
